Tax and Finance Operate

EY teams can help you reimagine your tax and finance operating model to keep pace with evolving regulation, technology and talent demands. Constantly adapting your own capabilities is challenging and costly. Instead, with our Tax and Finance Operate (TFO) solution, you can co-source select activities, leveraging our significant investment in technology, people and process.

Key benefits

Tax and finance functions today face dynamic pressures in staying on top of legislative change globally, keeping pace with technology, and attracting and retaining professionals with future-focused skills. These functions face a tall order: do more, and provide more value, with fewer resources and continuing pressure to reduce costs, in a rapidly changing world of risk and regulation. How can they be equipped with digital capabilities that evolve alongside the market, with human help whose talents also must adapt? By establishing a new co-sourcing operating model to:

  • Manage risk and improve visibility. Standardized workflows and dashboarding will provide you confidence through increased transparency and control over global filing obligations. Real-time dashboards also allow you to monitor and stay abreast of global tax controversy.
  • Realize increased value from data. Thanks to structured data, advanced analytics and visualization tools, your data can be transformed into powerful new insights. This transformation allows for your function to provide more strategic value to your organization in a time of greater complexity and disruption.
  • Drive innovation and new ideas. EY professionals who understand your business bring you new perspectives through significant investment in artificial intelligence, machine learning and EY Global Tax Platform. We work with you to provide a co-source solution to help you meet your business needs, providing continuous improvement and innovation.
  • Improve efficiencies. Significant investment in leading-edge technology, standardized processes, and service centers of excellence enable us to perform activities more efficiently. Through a co-sourcing relationship your team can spend more time on strategic developments, such as advising on tax and controversy matters.
