Tax Strategy and Operations

Pressure to do more with less, strengthened by a few of these challenges:

• Comply with more, new and complex regulatory requirements which are becoming more and more global and digital driven
• Continuously reduce cost of the tax department, and at the same time add more significant value to the organization
• Manage tax risk proactively, confronted with root causes outside the tax department and pressure from tax authorities on their risk-based approach
• Contribute to large projects in Finance, SSC and M&A whilst often still involved late
• Time spend on tax audits and enquiries, document and data management
• Time spend on repetitive activities, such as data collection and reconciliation
   

We developed standardized methods to help tax departments to tackle their challenges for the short and longer term. On top of that we developed a large database of expertise to help guide tax departments and benchmark with their peers. With these tools we can help you:

• Organize your tax operating model, your governance set-up (tax policy) and align these with goals of the organization
• Anticipate on cost reduction requirements, finance transformation programs and build a tax organization which is resilient
• Build your Tax Control Framework, test controls and manage tax authorities (horizontal monitoring)
• Manage projects around finance outsourcing, shared service centers and post-merger integration
• Implement supporting technology to manage the tax function (central document repository, risk management, workflow management)
• Build robots to reduce time spent on repetitive activities (Robotic Process Automation)
