TaxCompass vs Xolo
Both give you a real commercialista and work in English. Xolo is the established, multi-country platform (Italy plus Estonia/Spain/Netherlands, since 2015). TaxCompass adds what Xolo doesn't have: an AI co-pilot that answers your questions in minutes, always linked to the actual law, and preps your context for the accountant. It's not an AI accountant — a licensed commercialista still signs off; the AI is the automation around them.
