Our approach
Keep it simple
Transformation initiatives are complex enough already, add in consultants that overcomplicate things (you know who you are…) and day to day work life can become unbearable for clients who are typically juggling multiple projects and other competing priorities on top of their day jobs. Constant fire drills impede progress, cause timeline delays and have a significant impact on project budgets.
We take a straight forward approach to project delivery from kickoff through go-live… the only fire drills should be those required by building maintenance.
Collaborative tax advocacy
Project success is often defined differently depending on which stakeholder group you ask (Tax, IT, AP, AR, etc.). And the Tax Department is unique as their success is highly dependent on these other groups - specifically the processes and data that Tax relies on for accurate tax calculation, reporting and compliance. Tax having an equal voice is essential to achieving this success, so whether it’s an enterprise wide transformation program or a Tax led initiative, our top priority on every project is to function as an advocate for the Tax Department.
As your advocate, we prioritize collaboration and work to optimize the relationships between Tax and key business/IT stakeholders and company executives. This collaboration is critical in helping ensure Tax is embedded at every step of the process, expected project benefits are realized and Tax leadership views the project as a success.
Experience & Expertise
Your project shouldn’t be a training ground for new hires. The big firms are focused on delivering projects with a team that leverages as much work as possible to junior resources in order to maximize their margins. We guarantee a lean, agile, experienced team with deep tax and technology/transformation experience.
And we have expertise in areas that matter to you. With an indirect tax technical foundation and years of project management and tax technology implementation experience, we know how to help you define your US or Global tax requirements and translate them into sustainable technology solutions.
Pricing that makes sense
Tax technology initiatives with a clear value case and consensus across an organization shouldn’t be shelved because the proposals you receive are cost prohibitive.
For starters, we won’t put a proposal in front of you with outrageous hourly rates. Whether it’s time & materials, fixed fee (no changes to cost unless scope changes) or a la carte (only commit to specific project phases), we’re flexible to organizational constraints like mandates from your procurement team, budget concerns, etc. - we structure pricing to fit your needs.
