The better the question
As a start-up, where do you want to end up?
The company wanted a futureproof and scalable system to manage accounting, payroll and tax processes.
A multinational specialty pharmaceutical group, headquartered in Europe, had recently set-up its business in India. As a start-up in the pharma sector in India, the company had limited visibility on the ever-changing and complex tax, compliance and regulatory environment surrounding the business.
With growing digitalization of tax and finance compliances across the globe and in India, the company was looking at a solution that leveraged digital solutions to help them in driving long-term efficiencies and agility in their tax and finance functions.
Further, given that the scale of operations for the client was likely to increase over the years, they needed a scalable and futureproof framework capable of risk-managed compliances.
To this extent, the client was seeking a trusted business advisor with strong industry and domain knowledge to help them in setting-up and running their accounting, payroll, and tax processes.
