Learn to evaluate a tax managed service provider's technology capabilities and how KPMG LLP’s modern tech suite empowers tax operations.
Does your organization’s tax function lack resources and tools to meet expanding demands while keeping costs and risks under control? Like you, many tax and finance executives are exploring managed service alliances to redefine their tax operating model for today’s high-pressure tax landscape.
Managed services alliances are significant and long-term investments. You need to feel confident the service provider you select can deliver the key capabilities your tax function needs to fully realize benefits and maximize the value of the relationship.
The provider’s technology stack is undoubtedly one of the most critical capabilities to evaluate. Gaining access to cutting-edge innovations that are beyond the resources of most companies is a key benefit of a managed services model.
Leading managed services providers invest a tremendous amount on deploying new technologies and innovating efficient processes that can be scaled up or down for your tax function. As a market leader, KPMG is investing $5 billion over five years to accelerate the digital transformation, with more than $1 billion focused specifically on tax technology. This includes our Digital Gateway platform, a suite of modern technology solutions supporting the full range of tax operations with data, analytics insights, reporting and risk management.
So how can you be sure a tax managed services provider has the robust technology tools and capabilities to seamlessly integrate into your tax operations and ensure future success? Here are three key components to look for when evaluating a potential provider’s technological capabilities.
