More control over compliance and taxation, with less manual work
Tax teams and compliance departments are under pressure. Workload is increasing, teams are getting smaller, and the requirements surrounding tax compliance, transparency and control are becoming stricter. At the same time, many tax processes are still carried out manually. This makes them time-consuming, error-prone and difficult to scale.
Does it sound familiar that checks are scattered across systems or depend on individual knowledge? The desired situation is clear: streamlined tax processes, continuous insight into tax risks and reliable reports without additional workload. Through smart automation and optimal use of data, space is created for quality, advice and focus on valuable tax activities.
With Tax Technology, we help organisations automate and optimise tax processes. We combine tax expertise, data analysis and technology to gain control over recurring activities. This way, we make complex tax issues manageable and workable in daily practice, for tax and compliance teams as well as for regulators.
We analyse, together with you, which tax processes are suitable for automation. In doing so, we look not only at technology, but also at the connection with tax content and compliance requirements. Our tax technology consultants and developers work closely with our tax specialists. This ensures that solutions align with practice as well as with laws and regulations. Do you lack sufficient capacity or time yourself? Then we support both the design, implementation and maintenance of automated solutions.
Dashboarding and reporting, including pay gap analyses. Automation of tax workflows. Development and implementation of applications and tools. Tax Control Framework (TCF) tooling. Risk analysis using AI. Detection of red flags in administrative and tax processes.
Tax Technology helps you maintain control without extra pressure on your team. Through standardisation and automation, processes become more consistent and less error-prone. You meet compliance requirements more effectively, have continuous insight into risks and save time. The result: an agile tax function ready for supervision, growth and change.

The workload within tax and compliance teams is increasing due to stricter regulations, larger data volumes and limited capacity. In many organisations, much time is still spent on recurring, manual activities such as checks, reconciliations and reporting. Reducing workload therefore does not start with working harder, but with working smarter. By automating tax processes you can reduce routine work and minimise errors.
We support organisations with Tax Technology solutions focused on process optimisation. Think of automating checks, workflow support and dashboarding that provides immediate insight into tax data. This way, your team spends less time on manual checks and can focus on analysis, interpretation and advice. Do you lack sufficient resources to achieve this yourself? We can also support design, implementation and management. This way, you structurally reduce workload without compromising on quality or compliance.
More control over tax risks begins with insight. Many organisations have data but lack a clear overview: checks are fragmented, not uniformly designed or depend on individual knowledge. This makes it difficult to detect risks in time and to demonstrate that processes are ‘in control’, for instance to the Tax Authority.
With Tax Technology, we help to make tax risks structurally manageable. We assist in setting up and automating risk-based controls, for example within a Tax Control Framework (TCF). By using data analysis, dashboards and explainable controls, you gain continuous insight into where risks occur and why. Red flags in administrative processes can also be detected automatically. The result is not only better control but also traceability. You can substantiate which checks have been carried out, with what result, and on what basis. This strengthens your position towards both regulators and internal management.
Many tax processes are highly suitable for automation, particularly recurring tasks with large data volumes. Think of invoice and transaction checks, work-related costs scheme (WKR) tests, pay gap analyses, compliance reporting and monitoring within a Tax Control Framework. Workflow steps such as approvals and follow-up actions can also largely be automated.
Together with you, we determine which tax processes will have the greatest impact when automated. We combine tax expertise with technology. Our Tax Technology solutions vary from dashboarding and tooling to advanced risk analysis using data and AI, always with explainable outcomes. By automating processes, you work less with samples and more with complete datasets. This improves quality, reduces error rates and saves time. Automation does not replace your tax team but supports it. This creates room for advice, strategic decisions and value creation.
