Further Expertise
Long-term Support of Existing Tax Departments
Through long-term involvement and integration into the company, we know the relevant systems and personnel interfaces, as well as characteristics specific to the company and are able to independently ascertain and process the facts (e.g. in the context of inquiries related to a tax audit). We also use this knowledge to bear on internal projects. Ongoing support in day-to-day business is possible, as is support during recurring peaks in the workload. In particular, also foreign companies without their own tax department in their local divisions often prefer us to the traditional external advisor because we are a partner with corporate expertise.
Interim Support
In case of planned or unplanned, temporary or permanent absences (e.g. parental leave, pregnancy, sabbatical, illness, etc.) we help with our interim support. Due to our many years of experience in supporting and managing tax departments, we quickly integrate into existing structures and take on responsibilities. This significantly reduces familiarization times and allows us to quickly take over all day-to-day tasks, thus relieving the burden on the tax department staff. In addition, we are pleased to support on internal projects, such as processing the consequences of tax audits and implementing internal guidelines.
Establishment of Tax Departments
In the course of carve-outs, start-ups or acquisitions, tax obligations exist from day one while establishing a tax department is a major challenge. The concrete requirements for resources are often unclear at the beginning and experience shows that recruiting suitable employees at short notice is very difficult. Critical tax processes can often only be set up or documented with delay and increased workload, which entails compliance risks and reduced efficiency. We are familiar with these challenges and will be happy to support in setting up the tax department. We are able to meet short-term resource requirements at any time to fulfill tax compliance requirements.
