Pigs, wizards, and robots... - Capto Weekly #5

Our tradition of “content week” takeovers are a lot of work. In case you (somehow) missed it, we went all-in on the Tax ecosystem over the past few days.

Reflecting on what we were most proud of this time around. It wasn’t just the routine of multiple podcast releases, use-cases, thought leader highlights, and even a bit of comedy (see “Capto” updates section below).

It was the diversity of input. With insights from legal & regulatory experts, governance, AI product builders, recruitment, and traditional tax practitioners.

Besides trending posts and interesting content to engage with in your feed. What does this mean for you? It’s a reminder that our network is available to share and constantly growing.

Everyday our team commits time to make 1:1 introductions, share common insights, support each others content or projects, and exchange details about successful AI and automation projects (personally we’re up to 100+ now)...

It all starts here.

Let’s have a 15 min networking call to start collaborating.

No hidden agenda, no strings attached.

Capto

Company updates worth highlighting.

• Let’s do the summary first. The output and early results of our Tax Week efforts.

• Who are these Wizards? There’s a Robot? A Pig? If you’re not familiar with our podcast Agents of AI - guests join as anonymous avatars. Listen to the episodes and see the posts below for their real identities:

  • The Tax Wizard - international tax lawyer

  • Dumbledore of Tax - private equity tax expert

  • Governance Wizard - multinational leader in tax technology

  • The Tax Pig - AI product builder and innovation lead

  • Tax Recruiter Robot - specialized global recruiter for tax roles

• Transfer Pricing without the year-end panic. How Capto AI & automation is turning a once-a-year process into a continuous one.

• How one tax team stopped chasing data across 7 systems! Another live use-case from the Capto-sphere. Saving 65% of the time spent on monthly tax prep.

• Agentic AI and VAT, what we’re seeing. A nod to his earlier career, Alexis shares how VAT processes are being optimized.

• Our favorite resources? We shared three “must follows“ and accounts you might not have heard of (yet!) but should know about.

• We welcomed the week with a bit of humor! 10 memes to make any Tax leader smile.

Spokes

A section dedicated to highlighting the work of our official allies.

• This week’s member highlight. This one “hits close to home” because Metis BI‘s leadership shares an office and plenty of coffee with us in Bansko.

• Have we collaborated before? Would you like to? Looking for a boost in visibility? We are continuing to build out this program and open to discuss adding members to our directory.

You

Doing our part in a community-based approach where our feeds, inboxes, and meetings are the source for learning and happiness.

• We have our eyes on the results of taxtech500’s Top 50 AI Tax Leaders. A few familiar faces are in the running, but Russell Gammon aka The Tax Pig from Agents of Episode #23 gets our vote!

• A humorous take on spreadsheet storytelling that is especially sure to have our finance-heavy audience either laughing or crying (both?). We’re holding out for the dramatic reading...
