The team
National Federal Tax Services (NFTS) is a national practice within Deloitte Tax LLP made up of multiple tax service offerings, including Transaction & Integration Services (T&IS).

- Departmental operations (e.g. combined financial accounting, tax department assimilation, or tax ops stand-up).
- Those arising from synergy capture and business or process changes (e.g. Day 1 Readiness integration, legal entity rationalization, roadmaps, project plans).
- Members of the T&IS team also provide stock basis and Earnings & Profit (E&P) analysis for companies that are restructuring, disposing of unwanted subsidiaries, making strategic acquisitions using both cash and stock, spin transaction, worthless securities deductions, or contemplating debt restructuring.
