We used to believe only the large firms could support the tax planning and compliance needs of our 15 or so international assignees. We challenged our status quo and switched to Zander Sterling. And we’re glad we did. We’ve never experienced better support, results and value from an expatriate tax services provider than we do with this firm. —Anonymous HR Professional
