Case Study: an international hospitality company saves $250k with BDO tax co-sourcing

International Hospitality Company saves $250k annually with BDO

An international hospitality company faced a complex tax profile from operating across multiple U.S. jurisdictions. Its internal team, supplemented by several costly outside vendors, struggled with manual processes across multiple ERP systems. The company needed to improve efficiency, reduce high fees, and find an advisor with deep industry understanding.

BDO implemented a tax co-sourcing model, consolidating services under a flexible total tax approach. This included standardizing workpapers, implementing process improvements, and leveraging tax automation. The solution saved the client an estimated $250,000 annually in fees, allowed the internal team to refocus 15-20% of its time on strategic work, and established BDO as a trusted long-term advisor.
