Benjamin Alarie, CEO and co-founder of Blue J, emphasized the importance of this innovation. “Our clients operate in a world where international tax complexity is accelerating, and they need not just answers, but clarity and confidence in real time. Integrating IBFD’s global content directly into Blue J’s GenAI platform puts authoritative international tax answers at professionals’ fingertips, transforming what once took hours of research into seconds. This is the first of several major content partnerships that will redefine speed, confidence, and reliability in cross-border tax research.”
The rollout will begin with a beta launch for select users later in 2025, with general availability expected across the US, Canada, and UK in Q1 2026.
