Many tax functions remain constrained by legacy, spreadsheet-driven workflows that fragment data, increase risk, and limit efficiency in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

In this session, EY will showcase how organizations can modernize tax operations by adopting a unified, governed data foundation on Databricks. Leveraging Databricks Apps, Lakebase, and Unity Catalog, tax data is centralized, standardized, and enriched with consistent business rules—enabling a single source of truth that enhances accuracy, transparency, and scalability.

The session will also highlight how AI-driven validation improves data quality and how natural language capabilities empower tax professionals to interact with data, perform calculations, and make updates without heavy reliance on technical teams.

Attendees will gain practical insights to reduce spreadsheet dependency, lower operational risk, and refocus tax teams on strategic, value-driven activities – not data management.
