Every engagement can start and end with the first phase. Going further is your decision, never the default.
Every engagement can start and end with the Review. Going further is your decision, never the default.
A senior-led review of people, process, data and technology, governance, sourcing and business alignment. Interviews and evidence become a short diagnosis and a priority agenda. Two to four weeks, fixed fee. Stop here or continue: your decision.
A realistic target design that fits your ambition, budget and capacity for change. We test every key process against seven options: keep it, improve it, automate it, buy, build, outsource or stop it. The technology decision is made here, with a written scope, timeline and success criterion.
We sit on your side of the table while the blueprint is delivered, whoever builds it or we do the work with your team (practical execution). If TIF builds it, we tell you plainly that we cannot be the independent check on our own work, which is what step 4 is for.
You appoint a traditional firm of your choice to sign off the tax-technical treatments. We provide a complete working-paper pack. Each party does what it is best at.
Choose the level of service; we scope it in writing. Every project has a written scope, a written success criterion and a written end date, at a fixed fee. We tell you when AI is the wrong tool, when an off-the-shelf product beats a custom build and when the boring solution is the right one.
One deliverable, an agreed price, four to twelve weeks.
Two to five days a month, hands-on at CFO and Head of Tax level. Retained leadership on a rolling term, priced in writing: the one service that is not a fixed fee.
We design and build, then transfer ownership with full documentation.
An objective look at your current advisers' approach, fees or roadmap.
Tax advisers with an engineering background. The adviser leading your engagement is a personal member of the Nederlandse Orde van Belastingadviseurs (NOB), the Dutch professional body for tax advisers.
We are tied to no software vendor and recommend the platform that fits your systems, whatever any vendor pays. Our own tools are free for in-house tax teams and the 360° Review never recommends one of them. If one becomes relevant later, we say we built it and name the alternatives. Any commission, referral fee or other incentive linked to your work is disclosed and passed back to you in full or declined. We keep none of it.
A firm paid by the hour has little reason to automate those hours away. Our project work is paid as fixed deliverables, so we automate as much of the tax process as we safely can and keep the tax rules applied to your numbers visible and cited. Where you want an independent view on a judgement call, you appoint a firm of your choice and we provide the working papers. Your choice, not a default.
Most loss of control is not technical. It happens where nobody is sure who owns a step: the local VAT return that group tax assumes is reviewed, the account mapping that IT changes without telling tax, the tax note that finance drafts from last year's file.
So early in the Review we draw up a map: tax by tax and country by country, who does the work (responsible), who answers for the result (accountable), whose input is needed (consulted) and who needs to know (informed). Only one party is accountable for each line. Gaps and doubles show up at once and many are fixed with a conversation rather than a system.
That map becomes part of the blueprint and it is often the first thing a new tool gets wrong if nobody wrote it down. See an illustrative example.
