Tech news: Taxfyle rolls out AI tool for small tax pros

Tax solutions provider Taxfyle announced the release of its new TXF Intelligence product, a generative AI tool built to automate and streamline tax return preparation for small tax and accounting firms in the U.S. It automates the process from data collection to tax return preparation, all within their existing tax software, as it integrates with solutions like Intuit ProConnect and Drake Tax, allowing firms to maintain their current workflows for compliance and e-filing. Users can automatically onboard their clients by dragging and dropping the relevant file, access a secure file transfer portal for document collection, and then have the AI review the documents, extract client data, verify the information, then send it on to the user's current tax-filing software. 

Document management and e-signatures solutions provider Foxit released Foxit Connectors, an expanding library of, so far, more than 40 pre-built integrations that let users automate document workflows directly within the tools they already use. Users will be able to  now auto-fill, send, sign, track, and archive agreements without switching applications or involving IT. Integrations so far include Google Drive, Box, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, Workday, Lever, Freshteam, Lano, SAP Success Factors, Sage HR, ADP Workforce Now, Ceridian Dayforce, Deel, Gusto, HiBob, Namely, Oracle Cloud HCM, Paylocity, Paycor, Rippling, TriNet, UKG Pro, Zoho People, Avanture, Breezy HR, Bullhorn, Greenhouse, iCIMS, JobAdder, JazzHR, JobVite, Manatal, Pinpoint, SmartRecruiters, Teamtailor, Workable, Zoho Recruit, Bamboo HR and Cezanne HR.

Big Four firm Deloitte and Sailpoint, an enterprise security solutions firm, entered into a partnership to help advance enterprise identity security in the age of agentic AI. The collaboration is designed to help customers address two emerging areas: first, the critical need to secure and govern AI agents; and second, the need for insights and contextual support to help teams with decision-making, information discovery and task completion. The two are already collaborating to integrate SailPoint's AI-powered identity security platform and upcoming Agent Identity Security solution with Deloitte's Cybersecurity for AI and GenAI governance framework. This collaboration aims to create a broad toolset and methodology designed to help organizations secure AI agents.
