Turn tax, finance and compliance data into a governed, real-time source of truth — accurate, defensible and ready for AI.
Data & Analytics is the foundation every other technology capability sits on: AI agents, copilots and dashboards are only as good as the data feeding them. For tax, finance and compliance functions specifically, that means bringing data from ERPs, government portals and spreadsheets into one governed, real-time layer — then using it to flag risk and inform decisions, not just report on the past. AKM Global's Data & Analytics practice pairs our tax and transfer pricing domain expertise with modern data engineering and business intelligence tooling, so the foundation we build is designed around how tax and finance teams actually use data.
The Challenge
-
Financial and tax data is scattered across ERPs (SAP, Tally, QuickBooks), government portals and spreadsheets, with no single version of the truth
-
Month-end MIS is manually assembled, delaying decisions and increasing the risk of errors
-
Transfer pricing and benchmarking analysis relies on outdated or incomplete comparability data
-
Compliance risk — mismatched filings, duplicate claims, reconciliation gaps — often surfaces only after a notice arrives
-
Leadership lacks real-time visibility into cash flow and compliance status across entities and geographies
-
Boards and audit committees expect real-time answers that a monthly spreadsheet refresh cannot provide
Our Approach
We take data from scattered spreadsheets and portals to a governed foundation your teams — and your AI — can trust, across five stages: govern your data, build your data foundation, apply advanced analytics, improve business performance, and explore what's next. Clients can start wherever their data maturity currently sits, rather than being forced through every stage from zero.
How AKM Global Can Help
-
Data Governance & Quality Framework: Define ownership, lineage and quality rules for the tax and finance data feeding filings, audits and management reports, so everyone works from data they can trust.
-
Data Architecture & Warehousing: Build native connectors from SAP, Tally, QuickBooks, GST/MCA portals and bank feeds into a single, structured data warehouse.
-
Master Data Management: Standardise chart of accounts, vendor and customer masters, and cost centres across entities, so consolidation stops being a manual mapping exercise.
-
Advanced & Predictive Analytics: Apply pattern- and rules-based models for compliance risk scoring, transfer pricing benchmarking, and cash-flow forecasting.
-
Business Intelligence & Dashboarding: Design Power BI (or Tableau) dashboards for MIS, entity-wise compliance status and board reporting, refreshed automatically instead of rebuilt in Excel.
-
Data Migration & System Consolidation: Migrate and reconcile data during ERP upgrades, M&A integration or GCC set-up, without disrupting reporting continuity.
-
Data Strategy & Roadmap Advisory: Assess your current data maturity and build a prioritised roadmap for clients starting closer to a blank page.
What You Will Achieve
-
Up to 70% faster reporting — live Power BI dashboards replace week-long manual MIS consolidation.
-
One governed data layer — a single source of truth across every ERP, portal and entity, cutting reconciliation disputes.
-
Defensible TP positions — data-backed benchmarking and comparability analysis that stands up to scrutiny.
-
Earlier risk detection — compliance issues flagged before they become notices, not after.
-
Faster entity integration — new acquisitions absorbed into group reporting in weeks, not quarters.
Illustrative Use Cases
-
A logistics group consolidating eight acquisitions onto one chart of accounts and one Power BI reporting layer
-
A GST-heavy retailer using anomaly detection to flag mismatched input tax credit claims before filing
-
A PE-backed company building its first data warehouse ahead of a funding round, so investor reporting doesn't rely on manual spreadsheets
Sample use case: A US-headquartered manufacturer with 12 Indian entities had month-end MIS scattered across SAP, Tally and spreadsheets. AKM Global built a consolidated data warehouse pulling from every ERP and the GST portal, surfaced through a single Power BI dashboard — cutting reporting turnaround from 10 days to 3 and giving the CFO one view across all entities.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q1. How long does it take to build a first governed data layer?
Ans: Most clients see a first working data warehouse and Power BI dashboard within 6-10 weeks, depending on the number of ERPs and entities involved.
-
Q2. Do we need to replace our existing ERP?
Ans: No. We connect to your ERPs as they are — SAP, Tally, QuickBooks and others — so data and analytics work sits on top of, not instead of, your systems.
-
Q3. Can this data layer support both tax and finance reporting?
Ans: Yes. Because we design it around tax, transfer pricing and finance workflows from the start, the same governed layer serves compliance filings, MIS and board reporting.
