What makes us different to other vendors on the market is: 1. we have spent the last 1.5 years building local rails into 100+ tax authorities in both the US and internationally to properly automate compliance processes, and 2. we've built the world's first AI-native tax engine which ingests, codifies and monitors tax law globally.
