MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wolters Kluwer Tax and Accounting (TAA) today announced the launch of expanded AI capabilities in CCH® AnswerConnect, introducing a new conversational AI feature.

These innovations are part of Wolters Kluwer's ongoing efforts to transform tax professionals' workflows.
“In the workflow of the future, tax professionals will have access to information they need for a client’s tax scenario seamlessly integrated into their software, eliminating the need for context switching and searching," said Dean Sonderegger, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Canada and Research & Learning at Wolters Kluwer TAA North America. “We are continuously investing in CCH AnswerConnect to drive improved efficiency and insight. Through the integration of these advanced AI capabilities, Wolters Kluwer demonstrates its commitment to staying at the forefront of technological innovation, significantly improving tax professionals' workflows and empowering them to provide more value-added services to their clients.”
