Build, Operate, Transform, Transfer (BOTT): The new model for transforming and operating tax functions

Is your tax department facing mounting pressure from regulatory changes, talent shortages, and digital disruption?

A Build, Operate, Transform, Transfer (BOTT) model can help you navigate these complexities and build a more resilient and future-ready tax function.

What is BOTT?
 

BOTT is a strategic outsourcing model where a third-party provider builds, operates, and transforms specific tax capabilities for your organization. After a set period, you have the option to bring those functions in-house, inheriting a fully optimized operation with skilled talent and technology.

This innovative approach to transforming and operating tax functions offers a flexible framework with distinct advantages over traditional outsourcing.

This article explores:
 

  • The BOTT framework and its advantages.

BOTT can help you:
 

  • Improve internal processes: Streamline data management, workflows, and compliance procedures.
  • Embrace technology: Leverage AI, automation, and other advanced technologies for greater efficiency.
  • Close the talent gap: Access specialized tax expertise without the burden of recruitment and upskilling.
  • Minimize risk and investment: Benefit from the service provider's infrastructure and expertise while controlling costs.
