We are excited to welcome Group Expert Consulting as TIAG's member in Romania. The breadth and quality of their services, as well as their reputation and prominence in an emerging European economy such as Romania, makes them an excellent addition to our growing international alliance of firms. [...] The business world is shrinking every year. Whether you are a small-to-medium sized business, or a Fortune 1000 company, increasingly, you need the help of legal and accounting professionals who can handle matters close to home and outside of your geographic region, whether it's across the country or around the world. It could be that your New York based company is acquiring a company in Europe; your Japanese firm may need to conduct an audit at locations in a dozen other countries. Maybe you simply need to handle a transaction in a different state or province, or perhaps your Canadian business needs to expand into Latin America, but needs answers to critical tax questions. In many cases, action must be taken quickly and, often, you need legal and accounting advice, or both. That’s why you want a firm that has global connections in both areas, but you also want the kind of secure, senior-level attention you get from a local firm, that understands your specific issues. That's why you want to be sure that your firm is a member of the TAGLaw®-TIAG® Alliance. Combined, TAGLaw® and TIAG® are an exclusive long standing Alliance of high quality independent legal and accounting firms with more than 500 offices located in over 90 countries around the globe. All Alliance members are highly regarded local firms, vetted through a rigorous selection process, so you know you will be dealing with proven professionals you can trust. Plus, all members can conduct business in English, regardless of their geographic location. In addition to providing high quality personalised service, Alliance members give you instant access to legal, accounting and financial consulting expertise wherever you need it. They can often resolve complex issues outside your area, with an ease that comes from local knowledge. Alliance members are a tight neat group of peers at the top of their profession who come together regularly at international conferences and regional meetings, to share their best practices and strength their relationships, and the organisation advices boards consist of experience lawyers and accountants from around the world who contributed valuable ideas that keep TAGLaw® and TIAG® at the leading edge. Most importantly, when you work with an Alliance member, you know you will always be able to get your legal and accounting issues handled securely anywhere, anytime, and that is how you stay ahead. TAGLaw® and TIAG® offer you safe hands around the world. To compete effectively in a fast shrinking business world you need regional and international expertise with high quality services."

"The increased dynamics of the logistics sector require a matching experience from our business partners and service suppliers. Especially in the case of international logistics companies, it is paramount for the tax forms to be filed on time in each country in which the group operates. Also, the reporting to the headquarters has to be done within certain standards: the management reporting procedures at international group level have to be understood and implemented fast. Therefore, I am happy to recommend the services of the Group Expert Consulting (GEC) team led by Maria Piroi for similar types of outsourced work to the benefit of top-tier international logistics company. Through their responsiveness and attention to detail, the GEC team brought us value and demonstrated a superior level of service quality, generating customer satisfaction above expectations, assisting us with outsourced services of management and tax reporting, following a competitive selection procedure."
