ERP Tax Architecture15+ countries · 6 sectors
ERP Tax Architecture — Multi-Sector Conglomerate, 15+ Countries
A diversified GCC conglomerate operating across retail, real estate, entertainment, hospitality, and communities — across 15+ countries, multiple enterprise platforms, and dozens of brands — required a tax architecture that could account for every sector's distinct tax treatment, every jurisdiction's rules, and the full complexity of a business generating millions of transactions daily.
Tax-as-Code: every legislative rule, every exemption, every rate change, every emirate-level nuance, encoded into the ERP's determination logic — applied automatically, at source, without manual intervention at the transaction level.
Tax compliance and governance dashboards designed to give the tax function and senior leadership real-time visibility across all entities — replacing the reconstructed compliance picture produced at filing time with a continuous one. The groupwide data governance function was designed and supported in its creation: clean, governed, consistently classified data flowing into the architecture is what makes it deliver correct outputs.
Testing and validation ran across every transaction type, every business unit, every legal entity. Continuous updates absorbed every legislative change. The Continuous Controls Environment™ operational at enterprise scale across one of the most complex business environments in the GCC.

Tax Function Transformation — From Compliance Function to Strategic Business Partner
Rebuilt a group tax function from the ground up — designing the operating model, defining the RACI across tax, finance, procurement, IT, and legal, establishing the governance framework, building the talent strategy, re-engineering processes, and embedding the technology adoption framework.
The transformation ran simultaneously across all five pillars: people, process, technology, governance, and data. The result: a function that transitioned from compliance-focused execution to proactive business partnership — providing real-time confidence in the group's tax position to senior leadership across multiple jurisdictions.

UAE Corporate Tax & Transfer Pricing — 16-Country Structure
Led the UAE Corporate Tax and Transfer Pricing implementation across a 16-country corporate structure, integrating policy interpretation with ERP-embedded system execution simultaneously.
The mandate required not just legal interpretation but system changes, process redesign, data restructuring, and the rapid upskilling of an entire team in a discipline that had not previously existed in the UAE. Structured regulatory engagement with the Federal Tax Authority. A tax technology platform was implemented to sustain ongoing compliance across the full group structure — reducing manual effort and improving auditability at every level.
