Tax Firm Cuts Go-Live from 8 Months to 2: How GoldmanTax Scales Workflows with AI

GoldmanTax is a mid-market tax firm in Düsseldorf focused on tax optimization and ongoing advisory. A previous agency spent eight months on a complex workflow without ever reaching go-live. APEX defined the workflow in the first call and shipped it live in two months, the foundation for a planned 24-month build-out.

Challenge

GoldmanTax is a mid-market tax firm focused on tax optimization and ongoing client advisory. The firm was already digitally mature and actively pursuing process automation, yet implementation kept stalling its progress.

The previous external agency implemented workflows extremely slowly. Despite clearly defined processes, the go-live never happened, and the long build phases produced a wave of bugs and errors with no stable basis for live operation. The managing director invested significant time shaping processes but could not reliably close them out. What was missing was hands-on expertise to select and cleanly implement the right technologies and AI models, plus dependable delivery that runs precisely, like a Swiss watch. Internal IT existed, but the workflow backlog outran its capacity, which meant delays, tied-up resources, and lost efficiency and revenue potential.

Goal

Convert the predefined workflows into production-ready processes 1:1 and fast, with decisions made in the first call and implementation starting without idle time. Speed without loss of quality was central.

  • Turn predefined workflows into production-ready processes quickly and precisely

  • Make decisions in the first call and start implementation immediately

  • Deliver visible results within a few weeks

  • Achieve a stable go-live even for long, complex workflows

  • Get the right questions, technology and AI-model recommendations, and reliable delivery

  • Build a basis for scalable expansion and long-term collaboration

Result

  • Go-live in 2 months instead of 8 The complex, long workflow went live in two months, a speed the previous agency did not reach in eight.

  • Defined and started in the first call The target workflow was scoped in the very first call and implementation began right away, with no idle time.

  • A stable, reliable foundation Within a few weeks there was a solid base, with precise delivery and consistent output instead of recurring bugs.

  • Planning security for the founder The managing director could finally close topics out rather than reopening them, gaining real planning certainty.

  • 24-month partnership secured The first successful workflow became the starting signal for further automations, with both sides agreeing to a 24-month collaboration.

  • Less friction, better collaboration Smoother implementation, clear communication at eye level, and operational stability freed internal resources for higher-value work.

Timeline with APEX

2 Months

"We needed delivery that runs like a Swiss watch. APEX defined our workflow in the first call and had it live in two months, something our previous agency couldn't do in eight."

"The difference was speed and reliability at the same time. APEX asked the right questions, recommended the right technologies, and delivered consistently. For the first time we could close topics instead of reopening them. That is why we moved into a 24-month collaboration to keep scaling our automations."
