organizations are increasingly adopting automation technologies to
manage large volumes of financial data. In fact, 41% of
organizations have already implemented automation tools for
tax-related processes3 reflecting the growing need for solutions
that reduce manual effort and improve speed and accuracy. As tax
preparation becomes more complex with evolving financial
regulations, automated platforms like those based on Data Vault
