Written by BetaNXT | October 25, 2023

Taxer services are being transformed by real-time, digital data that provides foundation for automated tax reporting and cost basis accounting. The outcomes are tax optimization and managed services that enhance the client experience.

The ongoing digitalization of the wealth management industry keeps expanding the possibilities for a more efficient business operations and a better client experience. Areas of the industry that were traditionally viewed as cost centers are now providing new sources of revenue and a competitive advantage.

Tax is now one of those back-office functions that’s being transformed by real-time, digital data. What was once just a regulatory requirement can now provide the basis for automated tax reporting and cost basis accounting, leading to tax optimization and managed services that enhance the client experience.

Tax-related data can be used for rebalancing, portfolio performance and investment strategies. Insights can be integrated to deliver a more holistic approach to wealth management that is an objective for many firms. To achieve these goals, firms need real-time cost basis data.

Key Challenges

  • Accessing real-time tax and cost basis data to support front-office “tax solutions,” including tax loss harvesting and portfolio tax optimization
  • Gaining a better customer view that works for both households and individuals that require a holistic tax summary
  • Accessing held away accounts and gaining access to multiple tax lot relief methodologies to support tax alpha
  • Reducing the operational burden by connecting operations platforms and data
