Companies that we have helped and have used our packaged software, bespoke development,
consultancy or outsourcing services include:
"As we are SOX audited we wanted to avoid our reliance on home grown manual spreadsheets
because they really don’t give us the ease of governance that Tax Automation’s CAD provides.
CAD has enables us to deploy good tax practice and manage risk more effectively.
We implemented Tax Automation’s CAD product in 2008 and it is heavily used within our finance
and tax functions for Capital Gains Tax (CGT) analysis. We have been extremely pleased with
both the product and the service. Tax Automation provides friendly and efficient support,
regular release updates and we have been very impressed with the level of communication
from the team."
Chris Steele, IT Development Manager, M&G Real Estate
"We selected CAD because it was the best fit for our technical requirements, the
Tax Automation team’s proposals addressed our concerns and the solution could be
delivered on a hosted platform which eased the implementation from an IT perspective."
Paul Godfrey, Tax Manager, Whitbread PLC
"I can’t fault Tax Automation. The team has a real can do attitude and delivered excellent
customer service. The whole experience was fast and efficient. It was a pleasure from start to
finish and nothing was too much trouble. We now have a much-improved system for our chargeable
gains reporting. The CAD solution from Tax Automation is easy to use and extremely efficient.
We are more than pleased with the results and we are looking forward to developing the system
further with Tax Automation as the software clearly offers numerous benefits to help improve
our in-house processes and reporting."
Michael Wainwright, Head of Tax, Spirit Pub Company
"Tax Automation has been fantastic - very professional, very approachable, very friendly.
The team are both tax and programming experts. What is really nice though about Tax Automation
is that they don’t try and blind you with science. They work with you to find the best way to
achieve your end goals. The whole process has been great and after sales service has been superb.
Tax Automation really is just a phone call away to resolving any issues very quickly."
Dave Cockett, Capital Allowances Manager, Royal Mail PLC
"It is much easier for us to generate the information we require with CAD. As much as we can,
we have automated the process and now everything we need is in one place.
Tax Automation provides a very personal and bespoke service. If there is a feature that we want
CAD to provide, Tax Automation takes this feedback on board and we usually find the feature
incorporated into the next release."
Fiona Szpara, Group Tax Manager, Marstons plc
"Tax Automation worked with us during an extremely difficult time. We had to change deadlines on various
occasions and Tax Automation always seemed to have an innate ability to anticipate our needs
and work with us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
The team was also very realistic about what could and couldn’t be achieved and was very upfront
about our requirements which I found refreshing."
Head of Tax, leading provider of financial products and services
"They delivered on time and to a very demanding schedule. The fact that the team had such
in-depth tax knowledge was a huge bonus and the Excel functionality that the team produced
was extremely advanced - we wouldn’t have been able to do this ourselves. What I liked about
Tax Automation was that they always consulted me with the various options and explained everything
fully so that I could make the final decision with confidence. I was also impressed by the wide
range of knowledge that they had on the various technology systems available in the market and
how they were able to explain the pros and cons of each of these to us."
Tax Adviser, FTSE Oil and Gas Company
"We researched the market and Tax Automation’s CAD software was the only product that could deliver
what we were looking for. CAD has helped maximise our capital allowance claims and subsequently
improve cash flow.
Unlike other organisations, I find Tax Automation is also very receptive towards suggestions and
improvements to the system.
I would recommend Tax Automation as a first port of call for any company looking to improve
tax processes in any way."
James Smyth, Tax Manager, Rank Group
"Tax Automation’s approach is refreshingly personal. The team is very knowledgeable; they understand
tax nuances and worked to accommodate these into our spreadsheets. They also made sure that they
understood our business in order to deliver global bespoke spreadsheets for our tax reporting.
Tax Automation was extremely responsive, very pragmatic in the way it approach a problem and very
proactive towards a solution."
European Tax Manager, Private Design & Engineering Company
"Tax Automation provided bespoke development around our in-house tax system so that we could put
a solid compliance process in place and easily identify and update corporation tax and capital
allowance claims. Tax Automation provided a responsive customer-driven service, personalised
around our needs and built around service excellence. The team is extremely knowledgeable and
we have very good discussions when we troubleshoot issues - I can’t fault the after care service."
Head of Tax, FTSE 100 Utility Company
"We wanted to implement a solution that would enable us to have more control around our
VAT Returns and payments processes and a clear audit trail and VAT Controller has helped us
achieve this. Another key benefit is that it puts all the data into one central location.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the product."
Sandy Frew, Director of Tax, ITV plc
"We started off with what we thought was one small need around our internal approval controls
and, thanks to Tax Automation’s VAT Controller, the solution we developed was a completely streamlined,
end-to-end VAT returns payment process."
Tax Manager, FTSE100 Investment Bank
"Tax Automation can look at your tax processes and help you to understand what you can automate
and where you can effectively reduce the number of non-value added steps in the tax process.
In effect, Tax Automation has the ability to take 85 percent of the mundane and repetitive tasks
out of data mining and number crunching.
What I like about Tax Automation is that you get a Big Four accounting firm experience combined
with what feels like a very personal service. I have also recommended Tax Automation to other
people in the industry."
John Bentley, Head of Group Tax, Balfour Beatty plc
"VAT Controller has given us the control and governance that we needed. It provides us with
due diligence and an audit trail. Authorised senior people can sign off on the numbers with
confidence – they can log into VAT Controller and all the information is there."
Rachael Hurst, Indirect Tax Manager, BAE Systems plc
"The work that Tax Automation has undertaken has enabled us to put our VAT spreadsheets
together more efficiently. Where we used to input manually and copy and paste from other
documentation, this has now been completely automated."
Denise Lineham, Indirect Tax Manager, Schroder Investment Management Ltd
