Cancún, Quintana Roo — Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Mexico must strengthen their accounting practices as tax authorities intensify the use of artificial intelligence for automated audits, experts warn.
Jakub Roubal, Chief Revenue Officer of accounting software company Alegra, said the tax administration has entered a new phase characterized by heavy reliance on technology and automatic cross-referencing of information. SMEs now face not only the challenge of filing declarations but also ensuring their data is consistent and backed up from the source.
“While all businesses need to adapt to these changes, SMEs are the most vulnerable because they often lack specialized assistance,” Roubal explained. “In this scenario, it’s crucial to invest in AI-powered accounting software.”
He detailed that such tools help identify critical points companies must monitor to ensure compliance and avoid additional costs from errors, omissions, or even fines. Roubal emphasized that tax authorities now have automated tools capable of simultaneously analyzing declared income, expenses, and card transactions, significantly reducing taxpayers’ margin for error.
Based on an Alegra analysis, businesses should focus on key enforcement pillars, including the use of AI in tax audits, tighter controls over invoices from tax-registered suppliers (EFOS), and cash deposits.
