Tax Compliance Automation
Two weeks of manual compliance work became two clicks and under 5 minutes.
Regulatory tax compliance reporting that took the compliance team two weeks is now a two-click run that finishes in under 5 minutes.

2 weeks of manual work → under 5 minutes, two clicks

Where AI does the work: Automation replaces the manual data pull and report building end to end.
What was broken, and what fixed it
Problem: Building the regulated reports took two weeks of manual work every cycle.
Fix: A two-click run pulls the figures from MS SQL Server and generates the regulated PDFs in under 5 minutes.
Problem: Copying figures by hand into the reports risked errors in the filings.
Fix: No one retypes a number. The data pull is read-only, and the same data always produces the same report, so a filing can be regenerated on demand.
Approach
- Pull the figures straight from the billing database so no one retypes a number.
- Generate the regulated PDFs directly, so the output is the filing.
What I built
- Two-click run that pulls the data from MS SQL Server
- Automatic generation of the regulated PDF reports
- No manual transcription step anywhere in the process

Data
- MS SQL Server
- 1SQL Server
The run reads the source figures directly from MS SQL Server.
- 2PDF pipeline
A generation step turns those figures into the regulated PDF reports.
- 3
Staff start the whole process with two clicks; no figure is copied by hand in between.
Engineering
- Removing manual transcription removes the main source of filing errors.
- The data pull is read-only, so producing a report cannot change the billing records.
- The same run produces the same report from the same data, so a filing can be regenerated on demand.
Outcome
- 2 weeks of manual work → under 5 minutes, two clicks.
