HSP GRUPPE uses AI for tax advisory

For more than two decades HSP GRUPPE, a network of independent tax advisory, auditing and law firms, has driven digitization and process standardization. Before generative AI arrived, the firm embedded quality management and continuous improvement into its operating model, positioning itself to integrate Chat GPT Enterprise beyond a simple productivity tool.

The rollout treated AI as an organizational transformation. Monthly AI forums let employees share use cases, while Chat GPT Enterprise’s security and HSP’s data‑governance rules ensured compliance. Professional review and final responsibility remain with the relevant tax, legal or accounting specialist, and the aim was to build scalable capability, not just encourage experimentation.

Shared agents such as AI Client Communication and the Booking Assistant SKR03 & SKR04 automate routine drafting and classification, reducing repetitive work while disseminating best practices. Partners like Frank Heibel treat Chat GPT as a sparring partner, and Magdalene Posnak cut real‑estate investment analysis from nine hours to two, freeing time for client advisory.

Usage metrics show 84% weekly active adoption, over 500,000 messages exchanged, and 98.6% of surveyed staff reporting higher productivity and quality. HSP expects to unlock roughly 40,000 annual hours of capacity, translating to a theoretical revenue potential of €3.8 million, while leaders stress redesigning workflows rather than merely automating tasks.
