Transforming Tax Compliance Through AI Client Support

Client Background

TaxNav is a comprehensive tax compliance platform that helps businesses navigate HMRC requirements and stay compliant with UK tax regulations. As a specialised platform serving accountants, small businesses, and tax professionals, TaxNav needed to eliminate friction across every touchpoint from initial website visits to complex onboarding processes.

1. AI-Powered Onboarding Agent

Simplifying Complex Client Onboarding

Who the user is

‍New TaxNav users who have just registered and need to complete a multi-step onboarding process involving HMRC authorisation, business verification, and platform setup.

The challenge they face

‍New users often struggle with complex onboarding requirements, from finding their National Insurance Number (NINO) to navigating HMRC authorisation processes. Without proper guidance, many abandon the process before experiencing the platform's value, leading to poor activation rates and lost customers.

How the AI assistant transforms their experience

‍AI4U's onboarding agent doesn't just answer questions—it actively guides users through each step with intelligent function calling capabilities that execute real actions within the TaxNav application. The assistant:

• Triggers immediately after registration with a personalised AI-led onboarding session
• Provides verified guidance from a trusted knowledge base without hallucinations (for example, helping users locate their NINO with accurate, step-by-step instructions)
• Actively assists with critical setup tasks including choosing two-factor authentication methods (SMS or Authenticator App)
• Guides users through HMRC authorisation with real-time support and context-aware assistance
• Automatically retrieves associated businesses based on the user's NINO, streamlining account setup
• Understands context and acts within the application, making decisions and triggering app functions in real time

Results

‍New users experience faster, more confident onboarding with an intelligent assistant that eliminates confusion and delays. Higher activation rates and reduced abandonment during the critical first-use experience.
