Introduction
Managing a U.S. subsidiary from overseas is never easy—especially when critical financial functions are fragmented across multiple vendors. For this European IT company, delayed reporting, poor communication, and inconsistent compliance had become daily frustrations.
Tavola International stepped in to transform that experience, replacing a patchwork of outsourced providers with one cohesive, in-house team that brought reliability, accountability, and strategic clarity back to their U.S. operations.
Client Background
A successful European services provider had been operating a U.S. subsidiary for over 10 years. While they had an established CPA relationship, the quality of service had declined significantly. Their previous firm outsourced critical functions, such as tax preparation, insurance review, and registered agent services, resulting in inconsistent quality, delayed responses, and a lack of strategic partnership. Their previous firm also lacked expertise in international tax considerations and cross-border compliance.
The client was profitable and growing, but their back-office partner wasn’t keeping pace. They needed a comprehensive U.S. operations partner who handled everything in-house with consistent quality and proactive support.
