The AI-powered advisory solution extends Expert AI across the CCH Axcess platform to fuel firmwide growth and increased client value

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2026-- Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting today announced the general availability of CCH Axcess™ Advisor, its Expert AI‑powered advisory solution designed to help accounting firms more easily identify, prioritize, and deliver high‑value advisory services—turning existing client data into immediate growth opportunities within their current workflows. Following a successful early adopter program, CCH Axcess Advisor is now commercially available to U.S. firms seeking a more structured, scalable path from compliance‑centric work to advisory‑led service models.

Because it is embedded within the CCH Axcess platform, firms can begin identifying and acting on advisory opportunities immediately, without new workflows, manual data extraction, or additional tools.

“CCH Axcess Advisor is designed to help firms turn insight into action,” said Joel Morris, Vice President & Segment Leader, Tax & Accounting Research & Advisory, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting. “Firms already have significant advisory potential within their client data. With this launch, they gain a practical, scalable way to surface those opportunities, embed advisory into everyday workflows, and deliver deeper value with confidence using trusted expertise, integrated data, and Expert AI.”

From compliance to advisory — built into the workflow
CCH Axcess Advisor is a growth enablement solution that helps tax professionals uncover advisory opportunities across their client base, estimate potential tax savings, and translate those insights into clearly defined engagements so they can guide client conversations with confidence. Powered by data from CCH Axcess™ Tax and grounded in authoritative, trusted content from CCH^® AnswerConnect, CCH Axcess Advisor transforms complex client data into clear, actionable advisory guidance.

At its core is Wolters Kluwer Expert AI, which combines generative and agentic AI capabilities with expert‑curated content. This approach ensures firms receive intelligent insights and contextual guidance they can trust without sacrificing transparency or increasing risk. By surfacing opportunities at the client and portfolio level, CCH Axcess Advisor helps firms prioritize the work that drives the greatest impact.

Key capabilities now available to firms
