In control of your tax position, in a language everyone at the table understands.
We help CFOs and Heads of Tax get, and stay, in control of the group’s tax position. And we help the Head of Tax become the conversation partner the CFO, the treasurer, finance and legal need.
Independent, senior and practical. It starts with one conversation about what “in control” means for you.
In many groups, tax is technically well done but hard to see from the outside. The work is there; the conversation is not. We believe a tax function earns trust when everyone who depends on it can follow what it does.
Each stakeholder looks at the same tax position through a different lens. Being in control means being able to talk tax in each of them.
The answer is different for a CFO and for a Head of Tax, and that difference is usually where the value is. These are the four themes we explore together.
Tax in the terms of the business
Compliance worldwide, and who does what
The tax numbers that can move your results
A transfer pricing story anyone can follow
Running through all four themes is one simple question: for each tax, in each country, who is responsible, who is accountable, who is consulted and who is informed? A clear answer is often the quickest route to being in control.
| Example | Group Tax | Local Finance | Treasury | CFO |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corporate income tax | A | R | I | I |
| VAT and customs | C | R/A | I | – |
| Tax payments | C | R | A | I |
| Tax in the annual report | R | C | – | A |
Illustrative only. R = responsible, A = accountable, C = consulted, I = informed.
A short conversation about what “in control” means for you, and where you already are. Free and without obligation.

We do not sell software, outsourcing, audit or large teams. Our only interest is that your tax function works, and that you can explain it.
Plain language, short documents and clear choices. A one-page result rather than a hundred-page report. If the simplest answer is to do less, we will say so.
What does “in control of the tax position” mean for you, and for your CFO or Head of Tax? If we can help, we will say how. If not, we will say that too.
