Taxand

What Taxand does

Taxand is a global membership organization of independent tax advisory firms, headquartered formally through Taxand Global with offices coordinated at Santa Cruz, USA, and operating in 51 countries. The network aggregates more than 700 tax partners and over 3,000 tax advisors across member firms that include Garrigues (Spain/Portugal/Peru), Flick Gocke Schaumburg (Germany), Maisto e Associati (Italy), ATOZ (Luxembourg), ATOZ-equivalents across CEE/SEE, William Fry (Ireland), Yulchon (South Korea), Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu (Japan), Skeppsbron Skatt (Sweden), Corrs Chambers Westgarth (Australia), Covington & Burling (USA), Travers Smith and Unity Advisory (UK), DFDL (Thailand/Vietnam), and others. Taxand operates as the world's largest independent organisation of tax experts, with each member firm acting as a separate legal entity and the central entity providing brand, standards, and coordination.

Taxand's core product is the integrated cross-border tax advisory service delivered through the member firm network, covering corporate tax, M&A tax, transfer pricing, indirect tax (VAT), tax controversy, and private client tax for multinational corporations, mid-market companies, private equity funds, family-controlled enterprises, and high-net-worth individuals. Supporting infrastructure includes the Taxand Global Hub and My Taxand member collaboration platforms, the Taxand Global Academy (training and international secondments), Taxandays and Virtual Training Tuesdays training programs, the European Tax Liability Insurance Conference, the Taxand Talks podcast, and global publications such as the Indirect Tax Insight Newsletter. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with B2B professional services.

The revenue model is classic professional services: member firms charge advisory fees directly to clients, while the central Taxand Global entity captures membership-related revenues. Go-to-market is partner-led and enterprise-targeted, with active referrals across member firms for cross-border mandates. The customer base includes enterprise clients such as BP Australia, National Australia Bank, Accenture, Coca-Cola European Partners, Macquarie, Southern Cross Austereo, and government clients including the Victorian and Queensland Governments. The organization was co-founded in 2005 by Olivier Vergniolle alongside Vicente Bootello, with Caroline Conder serving as Chief Managing Officer since 2024 (formerly EQT Global Head of Tax).
