Tax & Legal

As we look back on the previous year, there are many reasons to express gratitude. The year delivered us record growth and new opportunities. While our clients encountered a mix of new and familiar challenges in the ever-changing tax and economic landscapes, we continued to provide them with trustworthy and consistently high-quality services, offering support and empowerment along the way. 

It was a remarkable year for Tax & Legal  in Finland. Our presence within major corporations expanded, and our professionals consistently delivered impressive results for clients on both a local and global scale. We noticed a highly competitive market in sectors such as M&A, digital tax tech transformations and global compliance.  

Low hierarchy is at the core of the talent experience  

During the last fiscal year, we welcomed many excellent professionals into our team. We have wanted to emphasise our low hierarchy and received praise for it, especially from younger professionals. We have succeeded in bringing the right people into the Tax and Legal team, who feel that Deloitte’s values align with their own.  

Our primary emphasis is on regularly delivering outstanding career guidance and leadership. We remain dedicated to nurturing the career growth and overall well-being of our professionals. We encourage everyone be true to themselves, leverage their strengths and maximise their potential. While everyday interactions are significant, there are moments when it is essential to fully engage and celebrate. Last year, we created new memories during various team events. 

Navigating uncertain times with a positive outlook  

Changes in laws and policies, both at the domestic and global levels, have a substantial effect on how our clients organise and run their businesses. Technology is becoming increasingly significant in the field of taxation, driven by a growing demand for applications, digital projects related to SAP S/4HANA implementations and related advisory solutions and other technology-driven tax solutions, arguably primarily to comply with ever increasing tax compliance regulations. We assure our clients that they will experience additional advantages by leveraging advanced technology, our readiness for adaptation and our forward-thinking outlook. The sustainability theme is also high on the agenda for our Tax and Legal clients and for the whole of Deloitte, and we have seen an increasing demand for our services that have this feature embedded.  

The uncertain economic situation affects society, which naturally includes our clients as well. It is evident that factors, such as an increase in interest rates and inflation, have their influence. We are closely monitoring the economic situation. In the short term, the circumstance appears stable, but the long-term outlook is based on mixed signals from the market. Predicting the coming months will be challenging, but nonetheless, we remain optimistic.
