What is a global compliance manager?

One adviser who takes responsibility for all of your tax compliance across every country you are connected to. Instead of juggling separate accountants in each jurisdiction, you have a single point of accountability that tracks every deadline, files or coordinates every return, and keeps the whole structure joined up and defensible.

Do you replace my local accountants?

Not necessarily. We are the hub. Where local filing has to be done by an in-country firm, we appoint and manage a trusted specialist there, or work alongside advisers you already have. You still get one point of contact, one calendar and one person accountable for the whole picture.

Is this for businesses or individuals?

Both. It suits founders and groups with companies and operations spread across several countries, and it suits internationally-mobile individuals and families with income, property or residences in more than one place. Often the two overlap, which is exactly where a single manager earns its keep.

How much does it cost?

After a free consultation we scope your footprint and agree a single fixed annual fee, with the price set by how many countries and entities are involved. Where a deeper one-off structuring or planning review is sensible first, we agree that separately and upfront. No hourly billing, no surprises.

Which countries do you cover?

In principle, any. Horizon leads on the UK and cross-border position and coordinates vetted local specialists wherever filing or advice has to happen in-country. The countries our clients touch most are the UK, US, the Gulf, Europe, and Asia including Hong Kong, China and Singapore.

Are you qualified to do this?

Horizon is led by Jordan Onraet-Wells, a Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) with Big Four training and over a decade of cross-border experience, and the firm is AML-supervised. For each jurisdiction we coordinate appropriately qualified local specialists, so every filing is signed off by someone authorised in that country.

Global Compliance Manager

One adviser between your wealth and every tax authority

When your life or business spans borders, the wrong structure can be taxed on its worldwide profit at up to a quarter, or see the same income taxed twice. We are the single adviser who keeps your wealth defensible, efficient and in your hands.

What is at stake

Cross-border tax is measured in real money

When it goes wrong, the numbers are not small. A few of the exposures we exist to remove:

Up to 25%

of your company's worldwide profit, taxed by the country it is actually run from, if it trips the residence rules.

Taxed twice

the same income, taxed in two countries with no relief, when the treaty position is not claimed in time.

Up to 45%

to take your own retained profit out, when the extraction is not planned years before you need the cash.

Getting this right is worth many times what it costs. That is the whole point of having one person, accountable, who owns it.

The role

A global compliance manager is the single adviser accountable for your tax compliance in every country you touch. We track every filing and deadline, file or coordinate each return, keep one trusted specialist in each country, and watch the cross-border risks, company residence, CFC, transfer pricing and permanent establishment, so nothing is missed and the same income is never taxed twice.

In short, your outsourced global tax function. One number to call, instead of ten.

The problem

Five countries, five accountants, no one seeing the whole

As soon as you have a company in one country, live in another and earn or own things in a third, your compliance stops being a list and becomes a web. Each country has its own returns, deadlines, languages and rules, and a decision in one place quietly changes your position in the others.

Most people end up with a different accountant in each country, none of whom can see, or take responsibility for, the whole. That is how deadlines slip, how the same profit gets taxed twice, and how a structure that felt efficient turns into a risk. We fix the root cause: one person, accountable for everything, everywhere.

Who we do this for

Cross-border businesses and groups

Founders and companies with entities, staff or operations in several countries, where residence, transfer pricing and where profit is booked all have to line up. We keep the group compliant and defensible, and you dealing with one adviser.

Internationally-mobile individuals and families

People with income, property, investments or homes in more than one country, who need their personal filings, residence positions and reporting handled together, in every place they touch.

What we manage

Your whole global position, handled

Four things, joined up, in every country you touch.

One global compliance calendar

Every entity, every country, every filing and deadline in a single view, with proactive reminders so nothing is ever missed.

Trusted local specialists, coordinated

We appoint and manage a vetted in-country adviser wherever you need one, so you deal with us, not ten firms in ten time zones.

Corporate and personal, joined up

Your companies and your own tax managed together, because across borders a decision in one almost always moves the other.

Risk monitored, structure protected

We watch company residence, CFC, transfer pricing and permanent-establishment risk, with regular reviews to keep you clean and defensible.

The difference

Before and after one manager

Without a manager

A different accountant in each country, none accountable for the whole
Deadlines tracked, or missed, across time zones and languages
The same profit taxed twice, and reliefs left unclaimed
Residence, CFC and transfer-pricing risk spotted late, if at all
You chasing, translating and reconciling it all

With Horizon

One adviser accountable for every country you touch
One calendar with every deadline and proactive reminders
Cross-border planning so income is taxed once and reliefs are claimed
Risk monitored continuously and designed out, not discovered
A single point of contact and a clear, current picture

In practice

The kind of brief we are built for.
The groups and individuals we manage often look like this: a founder with trading companies spread across two or three continents, an operating hub in one country, the owners living in another, property or investments in a third, and a relocation already being planned.
Different rules, calendars and currencies in every direction, related-party flows between the companies, and live questions about where each one is really tax resident. Until they come to us, no single person is responsible for the whole. We map it, make it defensible, and run it, so the founder can get back to the business.
