Cloud-Native, Agentic-Ready: CCH Axcess Expert AI Connects Data, Teams, and Workflows for Smarter Decisions

Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting today announced the launch of Expert AI, a transformative enhancement to its industry-leading cloud-native platform, CCH Axcess™. Expert AI capabilities bring advanced intelligence into the flow of work, unifying tax, audit, and firm management with a digital core — the integrated foundation of business processes and data that supports advanced analytics, AI, and machine learning. This empowers professionals to move faster, automate routine steps, and surface timely insights with governance, auditability, and human oversight built in.

“Expert AI introduces a new era for tax and accounting professionals. By integrating intelligence across tax, audit, and firm management within CCH Axcess, we’re enabling our customers to move faster, make smarter decisions, and deliver greater value to their clients—all with the confidence that comes from trusted, explainable AI and a seamless experience that enhances both operations and outcomes,” said Cathy Rowe, Senior Vice President and Segment Leader, US Professional Market of Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting North America.

At the heart of this launch is CCH Axcess Intelligence, the first module in the CCH Axcess platform powered by Expert AI. This solution builds on the conversational experience introduced in CCH AnswerConnect earlier this year, now embedded directly into the workflow to support contextual research, Q&A, and content generation. By integrating these capabilities into CCH Axcess, professionals benefit from a unified experience that connects prior innovations with new, platform-native intelligence.

Expert AI: Intelligence in the Flow of Work

By adding Expert AI capabilities Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting brings intelligence into the flow of work. By combining deep domain expertise with advanced AI, CCH solutions help firms research faster, automate routine steps, and surface timely insights. Built into a cloud-native digital core, Expert AI connects data and tasks to automate next steps, generate summaries, and highlights risks with explainability and audit trails at every stage.

Transforming the Profession with Agentic AI

CCH Axcess Expert AI is agentic-ready and architected to allow firms to extend intelligence securely across their ecosystem. Unlike other solutions that layer AI into legacy systems, CCH Axcess embeds intelligence at the foundation—making it contextual, trusted, and ready to scale. The unified platform enables AI agents to act across processes, orchestrate workflows, and deliver value across the firm, all while maintaining rigorous security and explainability. As part of this evolution, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting launched its first audit agent to preview within CCH Axcess Engagement, empowering professionals to extract key audit information tailored to their client’s needs, bringing precision and relevance to every engagement.
