Is it time to create an in-house tax department? As a
manager, you probably examine this question on a recurring basis--perhaps when the bill
for your annual audit arrives. If tax returns are currently prepared by a large CPA
firm, you may be tired of the inefficiencies of being a "small fish in a big
pond" with respect to your inquiries regarding your pressing tax questions. Are
you the recipient of last minute service? Is that service accompanied by surprise
premium-sized service invoices?
Regardless of your concerns--service delivery, budget or service
quality--creating an in-house operation is likely not to be viewed a pleasant alternative.
Downsides of an in-house
department include:
Staffing
Training and Education
Cost of Benefits
Limited Expertise
Changes Your Business Focus
(Managing people instead of issues)
Add to this the considerable overhead costs for space, phones,
desks, computers and more, and suddenly there is little benefit to bringing your tax work
in-house, other than control. Of course, the first multi state or foreign tax question that
arises will likely have your team referring to outside resources.
There is a better alternative. Hunter
Group's tax
department is currently seeking a limited number of new corporate clients to its service
roster.
