Support shaped around your organization.
Tax decisions are easier to manage when accounting records, transactions and filing obligations are considered together. Macliff's profile identifies tax advisory, compliance, planning and tax-audit support as part of the firm's work.
An engagement can begin with a review of current obligations and past filings, a specific transaction, or a question raised by the Kenya Revenue Authority. Advice is framed around the client's facts and the law applicable at the time, with recommendations that the finance team can act on.
