Government and tax authority services
Tax authorities around the world need help modernizing and streamlining their operations to keep pace with changes to technology, legislation, operations, and strategic direction.
Frontier Capital’s government and public sector tax professionals advise tax authorities around the world on policy development and new tax rule implementation, assess economic impact, develop compliance frameworks, and review taxation and enforcement procedures. We support tax technology and operational transformation by reviewing requirements and current business processes; developing specifications; and digitizing tax calculation, review, filing, payment, refund, and dispute processes.
Government grants, credits, and incentives
Many countries offer generous government grants, credits, and incentives for investment in areas such as digital infrastructure, energy efficiency, environmentally sustainable development, innovation, and workforce training. Several fuel R&D innovations through elaborate systems of government financial incentives that fund manufacturing process improvements, production trials, or software integration in laboratory research. While identifying, understanding, and prioritizing the right government incentives for your organization can be time consuming and challenging, it can also generate significant financial benefits.
Frontier Capital’s global investment and innovation incentives practitioners provide grant and incentive support to help organizations around the world pursue appropriate incentives and execute effective strategies, in industries from aerospace to healthcare to agriculture and beyond. Government incentives can also yield immediate cash benefits, including reducing effective tax rates and increasing earnings per share (EPS).

Frontier Capital tax professionals offer advisory services designed to optimize tax accounting methods, with a focus on liability, effective tax rate management, and tax risk mitigation.

- Mobility, payroll, immigration
Your workforce is increasingly mobile—and remote work, contingent workforce, and temporary assignments only add to their fluidity. And every time an employee crosses a domestic or international border to work, their movement can trigger HR, immigration, payroll, and tax ramifications.

We work with organizations of all sizes and across industries—from businesses with a handful of foreign-national hires to those with thousands of international assignees.

Workforce
As the workplace evolves and remote work becomes commonplace, businesses must implement measures to keep employee’s mobile, address cross-border travel, and design alternative working arrangements. HR, payroll, and tax professionals need to work together, often using workforce data analytics, to evaluate employee mobility policies, individual and corporate tax implications, and the business and personal realities of supporting and retaining mobile employees.
Frontier Capital’s mobility, HR, and tax professionals help clients establish global workforce strategies and operations for now and into the future, using workforce data analytics and technology to tailor solutions to business and talent objectives. Our services include benchmarking, policy and process design, internal service delivery and governance structures, technology and automation, diversity and inclusion, sustainability, and change and project management.
Technology and analytics
The contingent workforce and global talent pool are evolving, driven by new talent models, increased connectivity, and an ever more mobile workforce. For HR, that means redesigning jobs, redefining work, and reimaging the workplace. Meanwhile, both businesses and employees, expect a mobility experience that is simple, predictable, and personal. To meet those needs, companies must identify the HR technology and workforce solutions that best meet mobile employees’ needs.
Frontier Capital’s multidisciplinary teams use a design-led, data-driven approach, based in deep industry and subject-matter expertise, to produce custom mobility and talent solutions. We use HR data, analytics, and technology to automate workflows, visualize and analyze data, and inform strategic workforce decisions.
