Expert Statements

Bala Chandran, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Vertex

“Tax professionals have carried the burden of the work around the tax decision — researching, reconciling, documenting, and defending. Vertex Sōl changes that. It begins at the decision inside the transaction and carries it forward on one record. It is led by AI that can be governed, explained, and defended, so tax professionals can command the outcome instead of the manual work around it.”

Christopher Young, CEO of Vertex

“Trust has always been fundamental to tax and compliance, and AI raises the stakes. Tax teams need to be able to see what’s happening, understand what matters, and stay in control. Vertex Sōl combines that visibility with the tax content, intelligence, and expertise our customers have relied on for decades, so they can put AI to work with confidence.”

Kevin Permenter, Senior Director, Enterprise Applications Research at IDC

“As AI agents take on more tax and compliance work, enterprises will judge vendors less on how many agents they offer and more on whether each action can be governed, explained, and traced back to the original decision. That kind of traceability is fast becoming a baseline expectation for AI in regulated finance functions.”

Starting with the tax decision, Vertex Sōl connects the work, evidence, and AI that tax professionals control
