Leading Global Alliance of Independent Tax Advisors Welcomes

after Launch Underscores Demand
Taxand Global Alliance, the first international
network of independent tax firms, has welcomed 8 new firms, expanding
its presence to 30 countries only 15 months after its launch in
March 2005. This rapid expansion reflects the increasing demand
from global companies for independent tax advice from professionals
who have no audit-based conflicts of interests.
Taxand now includes 1,500 tax professionals with 259
international tax partners in 30 countries.
“Taxand’s remarkable growth has exceeded our highest
expectations,” said Frederic Donnedieu de Vabres who coordinates
Taxand globally. “Taxand is becoming a key provider of global
tax services that cannot be ignored. Today, Taxand member firms
work together to provide global companies with international tax
services, including tax planning for cross-border transactions
and tax litigation support. Our success is a testament to the
quality of our professionals and our strategic model.”
“Taxand is truly “global”. Not only do we have
a close relationship with clients in our local country and a deep
understanding of their culture and needs, but we also offer seamless
global tax services demanded by multinational companies,”
says local managing director of Avanzia Tax Advisors Limited member
of Taxand Global Alliance.
“With firms in 30 countries and 1,500 tax professionals,
Taxand is quickly becoming the leading network for global tax
