A Message from our Co-Chairmen

"A warm welcome to Taxand, a global organisation of leading independent tax advisers. We take great pride in co-chairing this organisation united by a shared ambition: to deliver outstanding, tailored tax advice across borders…"

Taxand brings together firms recognised in their respective jurisdictions for the strength of their tax practices and their standing in the market. While each firm operates independently, all are aligned through shared values, common standards, and a collaborative approach to advising clients internationally.

 

Our core focus is tax; however, driven by the needs of our clients, we connect this expertise with the wider advisory capabilities of our member firms and, as required, with trusted “Friends” of our organisation.

 

Across all continents, we work together to ensure clients benefit from seamless coordination, technical depth, and a global perspective.

 

Our ambition is clear: to be the first choice among independent international tax organisations.

We achieve this by investing in relationships, encouraging active collaboration, and continually strengthening the capabilities of our organisation.

 

What sets us apart is our combination of independence and unity. We are entrepreneurial, partner-led, and free from conflicts, yet globally integrated.

 

As co-chairmen, we look ahead with confidence to the continued development of our organisation. With a strong foundation, a shared culture, and a clear ambition for growth, we remain committed to strengthening Taxand and continuing to stand out as a trusted global tax adviser.

Our Chief Managing Officer

Caroline Conder

Taxand Global Board Member & Chief Managing Officer

" Today when we look at the services we buy, typically there is an expectation of “more”. Man and machine being able to deliver faster, smarter, sharper than ever before. Tax advisory services are no different, there is an expectation of more than tax technical advice. Clients seek insight from a trusted partner who understands the markets and industries in which they operate and who is as agile as they need to be in anticipating the forward-looking solutions which enable them to compete and evolve ".

My own perspective has been shaped by experience on both sides of the table, both as a client buying advice and as a tax advisor. Having spent my career in M&A and latterly as the Head of Tax for Private Equity funds, surrounded by entrepreneurs, I understand the importance of clear communication, commercial awareness, broad international networks and advisors who truly understand the pressures their clients face.

 

At Taxand Global we provide a global platform for the elite firms who join us as members.  The businesses and individuals who ultimately buy their advice therefore also sit at the fore of our thinking.  At the heart of any advisory enterprise are its people and I am very lucky to work with ambitious professionals whose collective expertise spans jurisdictions, industries, and regulatory landscapes.

 

Our dedicated central team play a vital role in animating and expanding the international connectivity of those teams, through events, marketing, communication, business development and education programs; investing in collaboration and sharing knowledge to amplify the impact of Taxand’s independent local teams, creating synergies and scale which drive mutual growth through a global footprint.

 

I believe that bringing together exceptional people from around the world, not only within tax but across disciplines, armed with a strong commitment to continuous evolution, enables us to partner with the clients we serve to navigate uncertainty with confidence, both when responding to today’s challenges and in shaping tomorrow’s opportunities.
