Tax & Finance

Tax planning, audit, financial modelling and management reporting across every sector of the economy.

The Tax & Finance Practice team advises every sector of the economy on tax planning and financial analytics, applying a consistent approach of first studying financial metrics and then developing tailored tax solutions for each client.

Tax burden optimisation

  • Analysis of the current taxation system and effective tax burden
  • Selection of applicable tax reduction tools (incentives, group restructuring, expense-base systematisation)
  • Design of the target tax structure and implementation support

Tax planning

  • Developing a tax plan for the period accounting for projected revenues, expenses and planned transactions
  • Selecting the optimal taxation system when starting a business, launching a new line or switching tax regimes
  • Advising on the tax consequences of specific decisions (structural changes, major contracts, dividend payments, fundraising)

Tax and financial audit

  • Review of the current taxation system, revenue and expense structure, applicable regimes and incentives
  • Identification of tax risks (potential additional assessments, divergences from FTS requirements, disputed accounting decisions)
  • Assessment of business financial efficiency (profitability, cost structure, economic bottlenecks)
  • Preparation of a report with specific recommendations for each identified issue

Financial modelling

  • P&L and cashflow forecasting with period and scenario breakdowns
  • Unit economics development (CAC, LTV, margin, breakeven metrics)
  • Preparing investor-ready financial models with company valuation rationale and sensitivity analysis
  • Integrating the tax component into the model to reflect the real, post-tax economics of the business

Management reporting

  • One-off financial audit with analysis of the current state and identification of weaknesses and growth reserves
  • Building a management reporting system (defining key metrics, report formats, frequency and ownership)
  • Regular preparation of management reports and analytical materials for executives with substantive data interpretation

Analytics and business planning

  • Preparation of business plans tailored to bank requirements (VEB.RF, Sber, VTB), investment funds and government bodies (subsidies, concessions, development institutions)
  • Development of feasibility studies (TEO) to UNIDO, TACIS or bespoke client methodologies with calculation of key performance indicators
  • Expert review of third-party business plans and feasibility studies: assumption realism, calculation accuracy, detection of manipulation and inflated expectations
  • Preparation of a report listing risks and red flags for the investment committee or internal client
