Growing companies face increasingly complex challenges: global operations, constantly changing regulations, extensive supply chains, and pressure to make fast, accurate decisions.

In this scenario, relying solely on technology or only on specialized consulting is not enough.

True competitive advantage comes from integrating robust management tools with qualified strategic consulting. This is precisely the value of the partnership between Active Cloud Solutions and Drummond Advisors, combining the best of both worlds: a global cloud ERP with Brazilian tax localization and international consulting in taxation, accounting, and governance.

The Role of Technology in Corporate Management

Transitioning to the new tax model is not just an accounting issue — it’s also a technological challenge. Tax automation tools and data integration become essential for companies operating across multiple states and countries.

A world-class ERP, such as Oracle NetSuite, centralizes processes, connects branches, and provides real-time data for decision-making. But in Brazil, the fiscal and tax complexity demands more.

Without proper localization, the ERP can become a source of rework, inconsistencies, and compliance risks.

Here’s where Active comes in:

  • Over 100 NetSuite specialists ready for implementation, customization, end-to-end integrations, and ongoing support.
  • More than 500 successfully implemented projects in Brazil and worldwide.
  • The largest client base in the country, with numerous documented success cases.
  • 97.7% proven client satisfaction, reflecting dedication to delivering solid results.

This expertise ensures that technology is always aligned with Brazilian tax requirements and the global needs of each company.

The Role of Strategic Consulting

While technology ensures operational efficiency, tax and corporate consulting ensures compliance and legal security.

Drummond Advisors is a reference in:

  • International tax planning
  • Corporate structuring across multiple jurisdictions
  • Support in global accounting (IFRS, US GAAP)
  • Mitigating double taxation risks
  • Advising on expansion and investment strategies

Together with Active, Drummond complements the company journey, ensuring strategy aligns with technological execution.

Key Challenges for Global Companies

Internationalization offers numerous advantages — access to new markets, revenue diversification, and brand strengthening — but it also increases the risk of tax inconsistencies. In Brazil, transitioning to the new tax model requires attention to three main pillars:

  1. Operational Complexity
    Multinational companies need to integrate local operations with global tax systems. With the new VAT, calculations and tax credits will follow new rules, requiring adjustments to ERPs and accounting platforms.
  2. Compliance Risks
    The temporary coexistence of the old taxes with the new VAT system can create inconsistencies and penalties. It is crucial to review tax reporting policies and ensure that filings comply with transitional regulations.
  3. Tax and Strategic Planning
    The reform significantly changes regional and sectoral incentive structures. Companies in tax benefit zones will need to reassess their location strategy and explore new tax optimization opportunities.

Digital Transformation + Regulatory Security

Combining technology and consulting delivers concrete results for companies that need to grow without compromising compliance:

  • Automated compliance across multiple countries
  • Real-time international financial management
  • Integration between subsidiaries and headquarters with full visibility
  • Adaptation to changes in the Brazilian Tax Reform
  • Operational efficiency with risk reduction

In other words, Active and Drummond provide the solid foundation every organization needs to turn complexity into competitive advantage.

Growth Requires Complementarity

The digital transformation era demands more than just good tools or isolated ideas. Sustainable expansion requires combining cutting-edge technology with regulatory strategy.

The partnership between Active Cloud Solutions and Drummond Advisors exemplifies how this complementarity can generate consistent results, helping companies navigate Brazil’s complexity while positioning themselves safely in the global market.
