Crowe elevates tax practice with Alteryx, accelerating AI-ready automation

CHICAGO (April 21, 2026) – Crowe LLP continues to refine its tax practice for the modern era. With the Alteryx One platform at its core, the firm has automated routine processes and improved data quality, building readiness for AI-driven decision-making. Through multiple rounds of the Alteryx Innovation Program (AIP), over 250 tax professionals have upskilled in analytics and automation, fundamentally reshaping how tax work gets done.

As is common in many organizations, Crowe’s tax teams handled data from various sources in multiple formats and completed certain repeatable tasks manually before broadening their use of Alteryx to streamline that work. As regulatory demands became more complex and client expectations increased, Crowe saw an opportunity to rethink how to empower tax professionals with self-service, automated analytics that could scale beyond the tax transformation team.

Many organizations expand their use of AI, automation efforts often stall because they lack reliable, well-structured data. One way that Crowe chose to address this head on was by using Alteryx to standardize, structure, and govern complex data sources, ensuring that the inputs powering AI-assisted classification and analytic models remain consistent, accessible, and trustworthy. This foundation has been essential to deploying advanced automation at scale across a wide variety of clients.

The results have been significant. Crowe has streamlined manual processes and enhanced data quality with embedded validation checks and consistent, auditable workflows. Tax professionals now have clear insight into how numbers are derived, strengthening confidence and consistency across teams and clients.

“By working alongside Alteryx to build out our capabilities, we can now more easily handle complex form parsing, unlocking the value of AI-driven document intelligence,” said Aaron Foster, Tax Transformation Managing Director at Crowe. “This has strengthened our automated workflows and made data analysis more efficient, elevating tax analytics into a collaborative, transparent process. By integrating with existing review procedures and delivering reliable outputs, Alteryx helped us overcome initial challenges and created a scalable model for ongoing analytics adoption.”

Crowe is actively developing AI-assisted automation solutions that extend well beyond traditional data preparation. Using Alteryx to build AI-ready workflows, the Crowe teams are applying classification, document analysis, and other high-volume decisioning capabilities to streamline core delivery work and elevate the speed and quality of client service.

“Crowe’s success shows what’s possible when firms build AI initiatives on a foundation of trusted, well-governed data,” said Bill Tabbit-Humphrey, Chief Customer Officer at Alteryx. “By empowering tax professionals with self-service automation and analytics, Crowe has reduced manual effort, improved confidence in every output, and created repeatable workflows that scale across teams and clients. This is exactly how organizations can move beyond experimentation and deliver real, measurable value from AI and automation.”
