Print    Close   Tax Automation is a leading specialist in tax risk management tools and systems consulting. Our software and services enable tax professionals in any industry to simplify and improve the accuracy of their tax compliance and planning activities. Whether an advisory engagement leads to bespoke software development or not, our methodology for approaching any project allows us to deliver a clear plan for solving your tax technology issues. Our approach follows five broad phases: Envisioning During this phase, we work with you to define the vision and scope of the solution based on your requirements and business needs. We jointly determine the goals, objectives, assumptions and constraints and document the solution. Planning During the planning cycle we build on the Envisioning phase by specifying, in detail, the exact requirements, design, project plan and deliverables. The main output of this phase is a detailed requirements and design specification document that will provide the road map for the remainder of the project. Developing There is a common belief that most consultancy takes place in isolation and no further customer input required once a project has started. We believe the exact opposite to be true and to avoid the risk of delivering too much, too little or even something that does not meet your requirements, close collaboration between your business and our project team is the essential part of this phase. Stabilising Before delivering the project, we ensure that you are satisfied that the solution meets your objectives, there are no issues to resolve and the results are fully verified. Delivery Delivering the project in a timely fashion with the minimum of disruption to your business is a key objective for us. We will also undertake a post implementation review with you to highlight areas of improvement.
