Case Study: a multinational hospitality company streamlines tax operations with BDO's Total Tax Approach

a multinational hospitality company cuts tax task completion from 280 hours to 8 with BDO

A multinational hospitality company faced significant challenges within its complex tax function. With over 100 entities operating in more than 50 countries, its highly developed in-house team was strained by a high volume of work, a lack of automation, and repetitive manual tasks. The company turned to vendor BDO and its income tax accounting services for assistance.

BDO implemented its total tax approach, which introduced new automation to streamline processes. This solution dramatically reduced the manual burden on the client's team. The results were substantial, with BDO's work cutting the time needed for a specific workpaper task completion from hundreds of hours down to just eight hours annually, representing a 40% reduction in process steps and releasing funds previously needed for outsourcing.
