Shared services continues to grow as a practice used by world-class companies to reduce costs, streamline processes and improve controls. Yet issues such as Sarbanes-Oxley legislation, heightened merger and acquisition activity and global integration have forced most organizations to re-evaluate their approach to shared services.

Our Shared Services Group, which is made up of more than 500 experienced  practitioners worldwide, takes a holistic approach to meeting clients’ shared services needs. We leverage our multifunctional capabilities to address the full range of issues in clients’ current or planned shared services organization:

• Strategy/process
• Controls

• Location
• Tax
• Systems

In particular, the involvement of tax and internal control specialists enhances client value by identifying tax efficiencies and addressing internal controls and governance issues.

Whether a company wants to minimize the time, cost and disruption of an initial shared services implementation or optimize/extend its existing shared services organization(s), our Shared Services team can provide an effective solution.
