Marcum’s SEC and Large Corporate Tax Compliance and Planning Group handles all aspects of tax compliance and planning for public companies and large corporate clients. Group members work directly with clients, and other tax advisory groups, to help minimize their tax liability as well as assisting them in complying with all applicable federal and state tax law. The Group, in conjunction with other tax advisory groups, has provided a multitude of tax services for multi-subsidiary consolidated entities, which includes assistance with various multi-state and multinational consolidated tax issues.
Marcum’s SEC and Large Corporate Tax Compliance and Planning Group members have extensive experience in SEC and large corporate tax matters. Collectively, the Group offers more than 100 years of experience related to tax services provided to these types of clients. Its members pursue varying continuing education courses to stay current on the tax issues affecting their clients, including attending both national and local tax seminars.
With client service being one of Marcum’s main goals, professionals in the group work directly with the Firm’s Commercial Assurance Department in an effort to provide seamless client service. These two Groups, along with other tax advisory groups, regularly work together to identify and address various client issues from both an audit and tax perspective, including for example, how transactions may be reported differently for audit and tax purposes, i.e. a tax-free reorganization/acquisition, and the resulting effects on the client’s financial statement disclosure.
