Tax Returns Automation(D300/D101/D205)
Project : Automation of tax returns D300 / D101 / D205
Duration:
3 months
Location:
Romania/Bucharest
Client:
Top 3 companies from Romania
The Background
A Romanian company from the Top 3 requested our help to carry out an analysis meant to improve the process of completing the tax returns and to reduce the overload of the financial-accounting department. Following the audit process, Fastkets identified that more than 15 Excel documents were completed at the company level, with between 15,000 and 20,000 lines, from multiple sources and proposed the automation of D205 / D101 / D300 declarations.
The work of the team involved in the process was cumbersome due to repetitive tasks such as generating and processing files, updates in SAP, extracting data from SAP (trial balance, account statement, etc.), processing raw data to obtain final figures, completing statements and their validation
“I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure.
It is: Try to please everybody.”
