Global Expansion 2026 Turning Tax Complexity into Finance Control
Global Expansion 2026 Turning Tax Complexity into Finance Control brings CFOs, finance controllers, tax leaders, and RevOps heads together for a focused, peer-level discussion on U.S. sales tax risk in SaaS and IT services. As states widen economic nexus to digital services and recurring billing creates thousands of taxable events, exposure now begins with a single contract or a remote employee. Investor diligence and enterprise buyers also expect clean registrations, accurate filings, and defensible exemption logic before deals close. This roundtable maps where complexity really starts compares operating practices across Nexus, rate determination, filings, and audits, and shows how finance teams can embed automation for predictable growth. Expect live polling, a concise 2025 taxability brief, a capability-maturity benchmark, and practical next steps that improve control without adding headcount. Ideal for companies planning U.S. expansion in FY 26–27, and for leaders who want compliance to scale with revenue, not against it.
Key Themes of Discussion:
- What Triggers Nexus in SaaS?
- Scaling Without Tax Fatigue
- Tax Capability Maturity Map
- U.S. is high-value, high-variation geography for businesses in IT + Digital services
- State tax in US varies and matters earlier than businesses expected.
Who should attend:
- CFO / Head of Finance
- Finance Controller / Head of Tax
- Head of Revenue Operations / Billing
- Strategy Leaders (SaaS & IT Services)
