TAX PROJECTS MANAGED
Legal Entity Rationalisation
Legal Entity Rationalisation, or LER, Projects enable a group to close down companies that are not needed, but it is vital to make sure you close the right companies and in the right way.
This is where Simplify can help.
Flexible
Pay as you go – no fixed term contracts. All LER Projects will fluctuate in their time demands, so having a flexible resource is very beneficial to you to manage the cost of the project.
Dedicated
Simplify will be dedicated to your LER project, so they will not be side-tracked by the “day job” as an employee might.
Experienced
Tom Churton has been managing global LER projects in a variety of sectors since 2014, gaining significant experience which he can bring to your project.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
One of the most important aspects of a successful project is project management. Getting your project completed in a timely and cost-efficient manner requires experience and a specific skill set. Simplify has both these things:
Experience
The experience to understand what works and what does not.
Skill Set
The skills to run the project efficiently without taking up your time unduly.
The Simplify philosophy is that while project management is about managing the project, it is more importantly about engaging and understanding the people involved, as each person will have differing view points, needs and priorities.
There are no meetings for meetings’ sake. Instead we operate with appropriate communication, and a robust process which is tried and tested.
EXPERIENCE
After 27 years working as a tax adviser for Big Four accounting firms and in-house at large UK-based global FTSE 100 groups, Tom launched Simplify in 2022 to offer an alternative way for large corporate groups to efficiently manage their tax projects based on his experience and skill set.
As an employee of a large listed security group based in the UK, Tom managed the LER project which resulted in 251 entities being closed globally. In addition, he set up their tax risk framework and redesigned the corporate tax return processes to remove waste. He also managed the group’s tax risks including the labour supply chain.
Tom is currently managing two global LER projects for very large PE-backed groups. He is also assisting in the management of a third project for a private group. All these projects are in different industry sectors.
Each entity closure offers its own unique challenges, either in the steps required to clear out the balance sheet, or the legal process to close it. Tom’s experience and robust processes make navigating these challenges much easier.
