Multistate Taxation

Cost Optimization

Multistate Taxation

Multistate Taxation has long been recognized as one of the most complex components of corporate taxation. Corporations with multistate presence are challenged by the extensive and frequently changing state and local tax laws, research requirements, refund claim procedures, vendor contract terms, nexus obligations, and state audit cycles. Because rules change frequently and inconsistently, all companies have a naturally occurring multistate tax error rate and are due refunds. Our Multistate Tax advisors have in-depth, firsthand experience in a wide range of industries and can determine whether your company is paying more in taxes than is required by law and provide effective strategies, planning, and implementation to recover refunds, reduce costs, and enhance profitability.

Cost Optimization

Cost Optimization provides opportunities to reduce costs, increase profitability, and enhance enterprise value by delivering sustainable improvements. Organizations invest significant energy when they procure new products and services and, once those vendor relationships are established, they often do not have the bandwidth to maintain the best pricing. Companies must balance investments in cost reduction initiatives against other activities that drive top line revenue or bottom line results. Our advisors provide the resources and momentum to identify and implement these savings with no up-front cost or risk. Our approach leads to transparent, non-disruptive cost reductions with existing vendors. Cost optimization improves the future proﬁtability of your organization, provides insurance against difﬁcult economic conditions, and allows your enterprise to redirect resources to high value corporate priorities.

Account Research

Account Research is conducted in order to identify and recover accounts payable disbursements made in error. Incorrect payments can happen at any time, however, there are certain times of the year and certain events that can signiﬁcantly increase the probability of their occurrence. Year-end closing, software implementation or conversion, modiﬁcations to billing procedures, new vendors, and remittance address changes can all contribute to payment errors which can directly impact your company’s bottom line. Normal accounts payable processing generates hundreds of different types of payment errors, processing errors, and overpayments every day. Our Account Research advisors will identify and recover these overpayments and implement cost effective controls to reduce errors in the future, allowing your company to realize the benefits of our analysis on an annual basis.
