Enterprise Tax Partnering
As part of Enterprise Tax Partnering (ETP), you don’t hire us as a typical “external” consultant, but instead gain us as part of your team. This means that a consultant is available to you as a permanent contact person to an individually configurable extent, who supports you in all areas of your tax department either on site or remotely – with the involvement of other colleagues if required. If your contact person is not available (e.g. due to vacation, illness, etc.), we will of course be happy to provide you with another consultant at short notice. Thanks to our many years of experience in supporting and managing tax departments in various sectors and sizes (from DAX-listed companies to SMEs), we are always able to integrate ourselves flexibly into your existing structures and take on responsibility. We are familiar with the tax-relevant interfaces in companies and always take possible non-tax implications into account. Our team of consultants offers practical solutions for a variety of case constellations, which we communicate in a trusting and recipient-oriented manner. Thanks to our in-depth understanding of your company’s internal processes and interfaces, we can work independently and present you with promptly prepared work results. These enable decision-makers to quickly gain an overview of the issues and act in a targeted manner. With a broad range of topics, we cover all tax issues, taking into account your individual business needs and special features.

Long-term support for existing tax departments
There are many compelling reasons for companies to seek long-term support from external tax departments. A partnership with BBSZ allows you to benefit from our extensive expertise, which we have built up over the course of many successful projects. This expertise leads to an even more efficient handling of your daily tax requirements. Through long-term involvement and integration of our employees into your company, they gain a deep understanding of your specific systems, personnel structures and company-specific nuances. This enables them to independently identify and process tax issues, for example in the context of tax audit inquiries. This in-depth knowledge also flows into internal projects, enabling us to provide you with extremely efficient and targeted support. Another advantage lies in our planning reliability – adherence to deadlines is our top priority. Thanks to the ability to call in additional specialists if required, we can present you with high-quality and practical solutions on time at all times. Long-term support is flexibly adapted to your needs. This can include both continuous support in day-to-day business and the management of recurring workload peaks. Particularly for foreign companies that do not have their own tax department in their local branches, working with our experienced employees is extremely advantageous compared to traditional external consultants.

Interim Support
In working life, there are many reasons why employees may be temporarily absent (e.g. parental leave, pregnancy, sabbatical, illness, etc.). In the current market environment, however, it is difficult and time-consuming for a company to react quickly to such unplanned or planned (temporary or permanent) absences by hiring new staff. In these situations, we help you with our interim support to ensure the continued fulfillment of tax obligations. Thanks to our many years of experience in supporting and managing tax departments, we quickly integrate ourselves into existing structures and take on responsibility. This significantly reduces training periods and allows us to quickly take over day-to-day business tasks in full, which leads to the desired relief for your tax department staff. We are also happy to support you with internal projects such as dealing with the consequences of tax audits or implementing or setting up internal guidelines. Our experience shows that these projects often have to take a back seat to time-consuming issues in day-to-day business, which tie up a lot of employees’ time. Benefit from a trustworthy partner who speaks your “language” and places the highest value on practical and high-quality solutions.

Establishment of tax departments
Enterprise Tax Partnering is particularly suitable in cases where a tax department is to be established. In the course of carve-outs, start-ups or acquisitions, tax obligations exist from day one – at the same time, setting up a tax department is a major challenge, and not just in terms of time. In particular, the specific resource requirements are often unclear at the beginning. In addition, experience shows that it is very difficult these days to recruit suitable employees at short notice. As a result, critical tax processes can often only be set up or documented with a delay and increased workload, which entails considerable compliance risks and reduced efficiency. We are very familiar with these challenges and are happy to support you in setting up your tax department from day 1. You benefit from our flexibility and expertise, which we have gained from many successfully completed projects.
Furthermore, we are always able to quickly and easily meet short-term resource requirements by bringing in additional consultants and specialists. This ensures that tax compliance requirements are met at all times.
