Wolters Kluwer showcases AI-powered solutions at 2025 CCH Connections Conference

Cloud-native, agentic-ready platform transforming tax and accounting workflows

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting concluded its 21^st annual CCH Connections Conference, introducing AI-powered enhancements that redefine intelligent automation for the tax and accounting profession.

Hosted at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, the event spotlighted Expert AI, Wolters Kluwer’s integrated approach to embedding generative and agentic AI capabilities directly into its CCH Axcess™ platform - a unified, cloud-native digital core for tax and accounting. Unlike bolt-on features, Expert AI is built into the foundation, delivering governance, transparency, and explainable AI with audit trails.

“The era of intelligent transformation isn’t coming—it’s here, and we’re leading it,” said Jason Marx, CEO, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting. “With our integrated, cloud-first architecture already in action, we’re driving change and delivering unmatched value to our customers every day.”

• CCH Axcess Scan: Intelligent document intake embedded in CCH Axcess. Automates classification and extraction of structured/unstructured data, including complex forms like K-1s, reducing manual entry and errors.
• CCH Axcess Advisor: Brings advisory services into the workflow with AI-driven insights, scenario modeling, and proactive recommendations—all within a unified platform.
• CCH Axcess Workflow: Embeds process automation and AI-driven prioritization into firm operations, connecting tasks and resources for greater efficiency and transparency.

“By integrating Expert AI across tax, audit, and firm management, we’re enabling customers to move faster, make smarter decisions, and deliver greater value— all with the confidence that comes from trusted, explainable AI and a seamless experience that enhances both operations and outcomes,” said Cathy Rowe, SVP & Segment Leader, U.S. Professional Market.
