Tax at the Table: Getting Involved Before ERP Decisions Become Costly

  • Thursday, November 19 | 1:00 PM CT
  • ~50 minutes + Live Q&A

Tax can’t shape ERP decisions if it enters the conversation after teams have already made them. Getting a seat at the table early gives tax the opportunity to influence the data, reporting, and processes it will rely on after go-live.

This webinar will show tax teams how to get involved earlier, define what tax needs from the ERP, and have a stronger voice before go-live.
