“AI won’t just speed up tax — it will fundamentally reinvent it.”
When people talk about AI transforming business, they tend to focus on marketing, finance, or operations—not tax.
But that may be about to change.
AI isn’t just accelerating tax processes; it has the potential to fundamentally reshape how the tax function operates.
The real question is: is tax ready for that shift?
To explore this, Deirdre Hogan, EY Ireland Indirect Tax Partner, and Alex Manek, EY Ireland Data Analytics Director, speak with Ian Kehoe.
A common theme emerges from their work with clients: uncertainty. Many tax professionals feel the pressure to “use AI,” but lack clarity on where to begin. Their advice is pragmatic—start small, focus on achievable wins, build confidence, and invest in skills.
Ultimately, they don’t see AI as a replacement for tax professionals, but as a tool—one that can free them from low-value tasks and enable more strategic, higher-impact work. This podcast is sponsored by EY Ireland.
