Tax Team agenda

🕒 In-house tax teams at multinational companies often find themselves swamped with meetings—averaging 4-5 calls daily! While hybrid work cultures offer at least some in-person energy boosts 🌟, the bulk of these sessions are virtual. Between liaising with local finance, advisors, or just tuning in, much of the day slips into back-to-back Teams meetings.

Despite multitasking during calls 📧 (not the best habit!), inbox management still demands attention afterward, leaving scant time for impactful work like strategic tax projects or the tax function transformation.

Proactive leaders combat this by implementing "no-meeting blocks" 🚫 in their schedules, dedicating hours or even full days to focused, uninterrupted work. Recently‎ (Global Head of Tax at‎) shared some tips during the‎ Tax Leaders Unplugged podcast (listen here:).
