Client Success Stories

Global Financial Services Institution Overcomes Real-Time Reporting Challenges

When a leading global investment bank with operations in 43 countries approached us, they were facing significant compliance challenges with increasingly stringent real-time reporting mandates. Their existing systems required manual reconciliation between trading platforms and tax reporting tools, resulting in persistent late filings across multiple jurisdictions. In 2024 alone, they had incurred over €2.7 million in penalties and devoted an entire team of 14 specialists solely to managing reporting deadlines.

Our approach began with a comprehensive assessment of their reporting ecosystem, mapping data flows across all trading systems and identifying critical integration points. We implemented our specialized compliance technology with direct API connections to their trading platforms, creating automated data validation protocols that ensured accuracy while eliminating manual processing.

Challenge

Solution Implemented

Results Achieved

Manual reconciliation causing consistent late filings

Direct API integration with trading platforms and automated data validation

100% elimination of late filing penalties within two quarters

Siloed reporting teams across regions

Centralized compliance dashboard with jurisdictional specialist oversight

40% reduction in compliance headcount requirements

Inconsistent interpretation of reporting requirements

Regulatory tracking system with automated impact assessments

95% reduction in compliance gaps during regulatory audits

Limited visibility into compliance status

Real-time reporting dashboard with automated alerts

Complete transparency into filing status across all jurisdictions

Within six months of implementation, the financial institution eliminated all late filing penalties and reduced compliance headcount requirements by 40%, allowing them to redeploy talent to strategic advisory roles. The solution proved particularly valuable when Spain implemented its Royal Decree 253/2025 requiring detailed reporting on accounts, loans, and transactions—our system automatically adjusted to the new requirements without requiring system modifications.

“The real-time visibility your solution provided transformed our compliance operations from a constant fire drill into a strategic advantage. When regulatory requirements changed—as they did with Spain’s new decree—your system adapted automatically, something our previous provider said would take months of custom coding.” — Global Head of Tax, International Investment Bank

Manufacturing Corporation Masters Cross-Border Compliance During Acquisition Growth

A multinational manufacturing corporation had undergone rapid acquisition growth, expanding from operations in 12 countries to 35 countries in just 18 months. This created enormously complex transfer pricing documentation requirements and inconsistent compliance practices across newly acquired entities. Their decentralized approach resulted in documentation gaps, significant audit exposures, and an estimated 22,000 person-hours annually dedicated to compliance activities.

Our team implemented a centralized compliance approach beginning with a comprehensive entity mapping exercise and standardized data collection templates. We deployed our proprietary transfer pricing documentation platform that standardized functional analyses while accommodating jurisdiction-specific requirements.

The solution featured:

  • Centralized Repository: Single source of truth for all transfer pricing documentation with controlled access for local entity teams
  • Standardized Templates: Jurisdiction-specific documentation templates pre-populated with consistent group information
  • Automated Benchmarking: Industry-specific comparables databases with automated selection criteria

Within the first annual compliance cycle, our approach reduced documentation preparation time by 60% while dramatically improving quality and consistency. Our strategic value chain analysis identified $4.2 million in tax savings opportunities through optimized entity structures and defensible transfer pricing positions.

The centralized approach proved especially valuable during a comprehensive transfer pricing audit in Germany, where our consistent documentation across all entities enabled the company to successfully defend its positions without adjustments—a significant achievement considering Germany’s increasingly strict enforcement approach implemented in 2025.

“What impressed us most was how your team maintained consistency across all our entities while still addressing jurisdiction-specific requirements. The documentation quality was outstanding, and the value chain analysis identified structural improvements that delivered meaningful tax savings while maintaining full compliance.” — VP Tax, Global Manufacturing Corporation

A high-growth technology platform expanding internationally faced an increasingly fragmented digital services tax landscape. With their subscription-based service reaching users in over 50 countries, they struggled to identify which transactions triggered DST obligations and how to accurately calculate liabilities.

Avoided penalties and interest

Saved approximately $3.8M in potential penalties

Financial Services Conglomerate Transforms OECD Pillar Two Compliance

A global financial services group with operations in 75 jurisdictions faced significant challenges implementing the complex OECD Pillar Two requirements. Their initial analysis indicated potential top-up tax liabilities exceeding $38 million, but they lacked the data granularity and technical expertise to accurately calculate jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction effective tax rates under the GloBE rules.

Our Pillar Two Implementation team conducted a comprehensive diagnostic that revealed:

  • Data Gaps: Critical information needed for GloBE calculations was scattered across disparate systems
  • Calculation Deficiencies: Their existing tax provision process couldn’t accommodate Pillar Two’s unique requirements
  • Strategic Planning Limitations: Management lacked scenario modeling capabilities to evaluate mitigation options

We implemented our proprietary Pillar Two Assessment Tool, which automated data collection across their global operations and provided jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction ETR calculations using GloBE methodology. The integration required no changes to their existing ERP systems, instead utilizing API connections to extract relevant data points automatically.

The solution delivered:

  • Accurate Liability Assessment: Refined calculation showing actual top-up tax exposure of $23.4 million (vs. initial $38 million estimate)
  • Strategic Entity Restructuring: Identification of jurisdictional modifications reducing top-up tax by $17.8 million
  • Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax Planning: Implementation strategy leveraging DMTTs in 6 key jurisdictions
  • Ongoing Compliance System: Automated quarterly monitoring ensuring continuous visibility into Pillar Two position

The conglomerate now has complete confidence in their Pillar Two compliance position and has implemented strategic changes that significantly reduced their effective global minimum tax burden while maintaining full regulatory compliance.

“Your Pillar Two implementation team transformed what had been our most significant tax uncertainty into a manageable, strategically integrated compliance program. The scenario modeling capability proved invaluable in evaluating restructuring options, ultimately saving us nearly $18 million in top-up tax while ensuring perfect compliance.” — Global Head of Tax, Financial Services Conglomerate
