What We Do
FTS is a flexible, cost-effective alternative to hiring full-time tax employees. Our competent, experienced tax professionals integrate into your team to add value and meet your specific needs.
Whether you need to bridge the gap in the short-term (employee turnover; parental leave), need a recurring resource to facilitate outsourced tax engagements, or just need to supplement your team during tax season - FTS provides a solution.
By executing a hands-on approach that focuses on customization, efficiency and competency, our goal is to ultimately drive value and reduce stress & frustration in the tax function.

Maximize Third-Party Value
Enhance the value of third-party tax providers by ensuring the flow of accurate, complete, and timely information, strengthening relationships and improving overall tax outcomes.
