PROVIDING FREEDOM AND CONTROL Our approach has many benefits for our clients:
Mature and experienced team
• Our international outsourcing business is mature.
Our people, our processes and our portal are well
tried and tested through ten years of client service
delivery. We’ve done this before and we won’t let
you down.
One contract – one point of contact
• The single worldwide contract we offer provides a
simple, scalable template for adding services,
countries, entities and additional scope to any
project as you grow.
• Your single point of contact within our global service
coordination team means that you won’t have to
keep explaining your policies and procedures to
various providers scattered across the world.
Technical bandwidth
• Our outsourcing team has substantial experience in
working with North American parented groups with
extensive overseas operations.
• We have technical experts in all geographies and
covering all service lines including national and
international tax and transfer pricing expertise in
the US.
• We are proactive in bringing new ideas to our clients
and see it as part of our role to assist you by
providing pragmatic advice.
Affordable, visible costs
• Our pricing is transparent, fixed and completely
straightforward. Any out of scope or advisory work
will be quoted upfront so that there are no
unexpected “surprises” on the invoice.
Web based control
• Our client portals provide access to real-time
information on the status of work and hold all
documents in one place, making them accessible
regardless of time or location.
• You will be able to monitor compliance with local
and internal deadlines at a glance by using the
functions available on our portal.
Client care
• Our UK based team will build strong relationships
with you, meeting face to face as needed to keep
your project on track. You will have a high level of
senior input from partners and directors who will
work closely with your on-the-ground teams.
Streamlined and scalable procedures
• Our processes can be replicated around the world
wherever your business takes you, in terms of
countries and markets.

The portal:
• Contains all the tasks and key milestones for the engagement, with each
task given a deadline and assigned to an individual or user group
• Tracks regulatory changes in each jurisdiction where you have a
presence and builds them into the compliance calendars, so that you can
rest assured that these are taken care of ahead of time and penalties
avoided
• Provides a permanent record of the source information used, the review
process undertaken and the outcome for each process
• Keeps a record of other correspondence and our communications with
you, avoiding the risk associated with email use
• Uses trackable workflows and deliverables, as well as secure data
transmission, to assist you with SOX compliance.
GLOBAL SERVICE COORDINATION TECHNOLOGY
Our dedicated and secure client portal technology is a valuable project
management tool. It offers 24/7 real-time access to authorized client
