How Mark is building a better working world

“We are helping Tax Functions meet the significant disruption they are facing. Tax is undergoing fundamental changes through new Global Tax Transparency requirements, leading to global data and process challenges.

Tax teams are facing cost challenges, new workforce demographics and new technologies, which are leading to significant changes to ways of working. This requires a systematic change to tax operating models. Our transformation methodology helps the tax function and the people that work in tax meet these challenges – leading to a better, future-proofed working experience.”
