Redefine your tax operating model
Like many leaders, you may be realizing that your current tax operating model isn't equipped to handle the mounting pressures of today's tax reality.
More traditional models are often powered by a mix of in-house staff, multiple external vendors, and point technology solutions. These models can be expensive, inefficient, and unable to keep pace with the speed of change globally. How can you find ways to work smarter, faster, and cheaper?
A growing need for combined tax technical and technology skill sets, along with increasing complexities in tax laws, can make it harder to assemble a team that successfully addresses your tax obligations, much less creates value for your business. How can you more effectively access the right people to meet your needs?
The sheer amount of data coming through tax departments can be daunting. Knowing how to adapt your organization's tax operating model to extract meaningful insights from the data and mitigate the potential for risk exposure can be difficult. How can you predict and plan accordingly?
Specialized approaches to tax operating model transformation
Deloitte can help you analyze your current tax department capabilities across talent, technology, data, processes, and risk management.
- What functions should your tax team manage largely in-house (insourcing)?
- What should you outsource with the help of a third-party?
- How can you use technology to potentially improve productivity and lower costs?
- How might your talent models need to evolve?
Transformation is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Together we’ll explore options for your future tax operating model and identify opportunities for creating potential efficiency improvements, cost savings, resource reallocations, and increased business value.

Navigating the tax operating model continuum—options may include:
| Modernizing traditional models with technology and process support Opportunities abound to increase productivity, reduce cycle times, and get sharper insights from your existing tax operating model. We work with tax leaders to: streamline and automate tax processes, apply technology to create efficiencies and manage information more effectively, and enhance talent and leverage models. Our robust approaches help you address specific quality and cost control objectives to create value for your organization. |
| Leveraging outsourcing to get the basics done so you can focus on increasing strategic impact With the extraordinary volume of regulatory changes and increasing complexity in tax law, tax departments are spending an inordinate amount of time on tax compliance and financial reporting. This leaves them little to no time for planning or identifying and managing risk. Adding to the challenge, many organizations are finding it difficult to hire and retain the talent and skills they need. Outsourcing can help liberate tax department resources from essential, but low-value activities, and shift focus to strategy, planning, and other high-value tasks. |
| Innovating new tax operations and talent models For some, the pressures of today’s tax reality have a hit a tipping point, and traditional solutions are falling short of growing needs. Deloitte helps you look beyond traditional tax insourcing and outsourcing paradigms to create new models for transforming your tax department and addressing the tax challenges you face. We provide a broad and flexible set of offerings that enable you to retain core tax planning and management responsibilities in house, while Deloitte assists you with tax compliance, technology, processes, and potentially the transfer of some portion of your tax personnel. Tailoring your operating and resource model to the needs of your business may help you streamline operations, alleviate resource constraints, reduce costs, and amplify the value your tax department delivers. |
