How Scott is building a better working world

Scott works with client stakeholders to understand their tax policy objectives, controversy matters and economic development profiles. Scott and his team connect policy practices throughout the US, including the states with various public and business stakeholders. By understanding that tax policy is at the cross-section of an integrated tax service, we prepare clients for rapid political, economic and legislative change.
