Deloitte Tax LLP and Equus Software have launched a strategic alliance aimed at helping multinational employers better manage the complex demands of global workforce mobility, the firms announced Thursday
The partnership brings together Deloitte’s global advisory capabilities with Equus’ workforce mobility software, with a shared goal of creating a more seamless, technology-enabled experience for employers and mobile employees alike.
The alliance builds on a 15-year working relationship between the two companies and is designed to address challenges ranging from compliance and taxation to data management and employee support.
“This alliance allows us to deliver scalable, customer-focused mobility solutions that align with the needs of a changing global workforce,” said Edward Hannibal, global employer services (GES) alliance leader at Deloitte Tax LLP.
Addressing compliance and complexity
Managing global mobility programs remains one of the more intricate challenges facing international organizations, particularly as regulatory requirements grow more stringent and employee expectations evolve.
Historically, many organizations have relied on fragmented systems or manual processes to handle reporting, compliance, payroll, and travel. The joint offering from Deloitte and Equus is intended to streamline these functions through automation and integration, the companies said.
“Combining our technology with Deloitte’s expertise positions us to help organizations manage their mobile talent more effectively,” said Tyler Reynolds, CEO of Equus Software.
Solutions for businesses of all sizes
While large enterprises have typically been the main users of global mobility services, the new collaboration aims to support small and mid-sized programs as well. Among the offerings being developed are enhanced business travel services, end-to-end mobility management, and tools that integrate planning, expense tracking, and compliance.
Peter Simeonidis, global GES practice leader at Deloitte Tax LLP, said the goal is to offer “an exceptional digital end-to-end mobility service” across all market segments.
