New York, NY

In a move that further strengthens Deloitte’s leadership position in tax technology consulting services, Deloitte today announced a strategic alliance with Vertex Inc. to bring to the market the synergies between Vertex’s industry leading indirect tax software products and data management solutions with Deloitte’s tax services. The formal alliance is Vertex’s first among the Big Four professional services organizations for their full suite of tax software solutions and positions Deloitte as a preferred associate of Vertex.

“Deloitte understands the critical importance of the integration of tax and technology to our clients,” said Carl Allegretti, chairman and CEO of Deloitte Tax LLP. “Our alliance with Vertex helps tax departments transform their people, process, technology and data for better performance and added value to their organizations. Leading these critical business process changes further enhances Deloitte’s position as a trusted advisor among tax, finance, IT and operations executives. The approach to integrate tax and technology also differentiates Deloitte from competitors.”

Vertex’s wide range of offerings and latest technology aligns with Deloitte’s areas of specialization, enabling organizations to strengthen end-to-end delivery capabilities for a diverse array of clients. The alliance also allows Deloitte to demonstrate Vertex’s capabilities for clients utilizing the Deloitte Tax Nerve Center™, a cloud-computing environment, before key investment decisions are made.

“The alliance between Vertex and Deloitte allows our clients to integrate refined tax processes with the latest advances in technology,” said Jeff Westphal, president and CEO of Vertex Inc. “Vertex offers the most advanced technology in the marketplace for both direct and indirect tax. We look forward to working with Deloitte to bring these solutions and services to the market.”
