What's shifting

From annual chore to year-round value-add

Previously a reactive, end-of-year exercise constrained by complex spreadsheet analysis, tax planning is being fully automated. AI now enables continuous, proactive monitoring of bracket optimization and tax-loss harvesting opportunities across client portfolios. This transforms tax management from an annual compliance chore into a year-round value-add for the advisor.
