The tax profession is rapidly shifting from compliance-driven work to high-value tax advisory services. As automation replaces basic tax preparation, firms that want to grow must embrace AI tax research, AI tax planning, and agentic AI in tax. Hive Tax AI empowers small CPA firms to confidently deliver tax advisory services with the most reliable and affordable AI tax tools on the market. If you’re planning for the future of your practice, now is the time to act.
The Tax Industry Is Changing — Fast
Traditional tax preparation is becoming increasingly commoditized. E-filing, automation, and low-cost DIY tax software have reduced the perceived value of compliance-only services. At the same time, tax law complexity continues to explode:
- Constant federal and state tax law changes
- TCJA sunset planning
- SALT cap and PTET strategies
- Retirement, equity compensation, and business structuring decisions
- Multi-state and cross-border tax issues
Clients no longer just want forms filed. They want answers, planning, and proactive advice.
This is why tax advisory services are now the fastest-growing and most profitable segment of the profession.
Why Tax Advisory Services Are the Future
Tax advisory services allow practitioners to:
- Move from reactive compliance to proactive planning
- Increase revenue per client without increasing headcount
- Build deeper, year-round client relationships
- Differentiate from low-cost tax preparation services
According to IRS and AICPA guidance, tax professionals are increasingly expected to provide forward-looking analysis, risk assessment, and planning—not just historical reporting. Advisory is no longer optional; it’s the future of the profession.
The Challenge: Advisory Work Is Time-Consuming and Complex
While advisory services are valuable, they come with real challenges:
- Researching complex tax questions across federal and 50 states
- Translating tax law into client-specific strategies
- Training junior staff to think like senior advisors
- Delivering consistent, defensible recommendations
Without the right AI tax planning tool, advisory work can be slow, expensive, and difficult to scale—especially for small CPA firms.
