Whenever a company changes in size, operations, or strategy, the tax structure that made sense before may no longer be suitable. This affects tax credits, pricing, and cash flow, not just the amount of tax paid during the month. On our blog, we explain when it is worth reviewing this structure and how it connects with the ongoing tax reform.

Monthly results that are only reviewed halfway through the following month mean decisions are being made in the dark. The information arrives, but only after the moment when it should have been on the table. This is the first of three signs that the finance function is no longer supporting the operation and has become a bottleneck. The other two almost always appear alongside it.

Disagreement among shareholders is healthy, including between parents and children who see the business differently. The problem arises when there is no proper place for that disagreement — a forum with a defined agenda, clear decision-making authority, and a formal record of what was decided, so that difficult conversations can begin and end within the company.
