Guest post by Michael Kilarney Co-Founder Genghis AI
The 2023 idea of “tax AI” is already archaic.
A faster search box is not the future of tax advisory.
Finding legislation faster is useful. Finding guidance faster is useful. Finding case law faster is useful.
But it is not the prize.
The prize is completing complex tax technical work from end to end – with sources, structure, reasoning and professional review built into the process.
That is what Genghis AI is building.
Genghis AI is an Irish-built artificial intelligence platform for tax professionals, accountants and advisory firms. It is not trying to make advisers better at searching. It is trying to remove the manual assembly work that sits between a client question and a professional answer.
Tax advisory is one of the largest and most expensive labour markets in professional services. The global tax advisory labour market will be worth approximately $70 billion after 2030. Much of that market is still delivered through the same basic model: highly trained professionals manually reading, analysing, assembling and drafting technical advice.
Genghis AI is built on a different assumption.
A meaningful part of that labour can now become software.
The old model of tax AI was retrieval.
The new model is execution.
Genghis does not simply retrieve information. It performs the assembly layer of tax advice: issue identification, source review, technical reasoning, drafting and client-ready structure.
That is the part of the work that consumes days.
It is also the part of the work that firms have historically needed expensive, senior people to produce.
Genghis AI is designed to do in minutes what would otherwise require highly trained, six-figure salaried tax professionals with 15+ years of experience to assemble over days and weeks.
And this is not limited to Irish tax.
Genghis is built to work across every jurisdiction and every tax head. Corporation tax, VAT, capital gains tax, employment taxes, international tax, Pillar Two and specialist advisory can all be brought into the same execution layer.
The adviser still owns the answer.
But the starting point changes completely.
A tax adviser should not have to begin every complex query with a blank page, multiple search portals and days of manual drafting.
They should begin with a draft representing 95% completion.
Work that may previously have taken three, four or five days can now be brought to a reviewable position in minutes, with time redeployed to professional judgement, client-specific context and final edits.
That is the economic shift.
Users are already generating outputs through Genghis AI that would traditionally represent €10,000, €20,000 or €30,000 of billable advisory work.
But it is not a replacement story.
It is a leverage story.
The labour moves out of assembly.
The value moves further into judgement.
This exposes why the adviser was important in the first place.
Tax advice does not exist in a vacuum. Business owners are often making generational decisions involving family members, key management, customers, lenders and other stakeholders. AI may never replace the emotional intelligence of an adviser who understands the family dynamic, the commercial history and the personalities in the room. But it can map the technical scenarios around those human variables – the feasible structures, risks, reliefs, trade-offs and next steps – so the adviser can spend more time deciding which options should actually be put in front of the client.
The best advisers are not valuable because they can spend days assembling a first draft. They are valuable because they know where the judgement calls are. They understand the client. They can identify the risk. They can decide what matters.
Using Genghis AI is not a shortcut around expertise.
It is a sign of intelligence.
It shows that an adviser understands where human judgement actually belongs: not in repetitive assembly, but in interpretation, risk assessment, commercial application and client-specific advice.
The most intelligent professionals will use Genghis because they recognise that it gives them more leverage. They can do more work, and spend more time on the niche judgement calls that clients actually pay for.
Genghis AI is part of a new breed of company.
Not software that helps people manage work.
Software that performs the work.
That is why usage matters.
Genghis AI reports weekly active usage among deployed users consistently above 90 per cent.
That is the difference between curiosity and infrastructure.
Professionals return to the platform because it changes the economics of their work. It gives them back time, expands their capacity and raises the starting point for every technical answer.
This is the point.
Tax AI is no longer about search.
It is about execution.
Genghis AI is building the execution layer for tax advisory: software that can read, reason, draft and assemble complex technical analysis at a fraction of the traditional labour cost, while leaving final judgement with the professional.
Not a better search tool.
A new labour model for tax.
