Global Mobility Advisory Alliance (GMAA)
What is the GMAA?
The Global Mobility Advisory Alliance (GMAA) is a collaborative group of independent global mobility specialists who bring clients best-in-class tax, immigration, and social security advisory services, helping manage risk and optimising opportunities for your mobile workforce.
Wherever you are on your global mobility journey, GMAA has the expertise and experience to provide you with the support that you need. We would be delighted to meet you to listen to what your challenges and opportunities are, provide insight and analysis as to what is working well for you and where there are areas of risk, and help you identify and implement actions that will enhance the value of mobility in your business.
What we offer
We provide comprehensive mobility advice to companies and individuals with permanent or temporary cross-border activities, solving complex tax, payroll, immigration, and social security issues. We combine a collaborative approach with experience that brings:
- High Quality & Independent Experience across different workforce mobility types and industries.
- Personalised & Actionable Advice specifically tailored to meet each client's needs.
- Practical, Clear, and Commercial recommendations so that our clients can make informed decisions.
Why choose us?
When you choose GMAA you are choosing to work with a team that brings together extensive expertise and experience gained from both the large global consulting and accounting firms as well as smaller, bespoke consulting practices in the UK and US. Why is this important? We've seen first-hand how managing the risks and compliance obligations created by an internationally mobile workforce is challenging - in different ways - for businesses at different stages of their development cycles, and how these challenges can be overcome in a way which leaves businesses better able to focus on their core activities.
We work together with our clients to ensure that they:
- Feel as though we are all part of the same team, working together to provide timely, pragmatic, and proactive advice on everything from tax, social security and immigration matters to appropriate policy frameworks designed according to their business needs.
- Can tap into our extensive experience with the confidence that the advice provided will be clear and practical. Our clients work directly with senior advisors to ensure the best value for money propositions.
- Will receive independent advice as to what is best for them, be that revising the way that they work with their existing service providers, or perhaps wholesale change.
Who we can help
We are all passionate about providing practical, commercial, and high-quality global mobility services to:
- Start-ups: if you are at the early stages of planning to send your workforce overseas and you’re looking for a team of experienced specialists to help you through the complexities.
- Emerging Mobile Workforces: if you are broadening your activities because your business is growing, or you want to broaden your talent pool.
- Organisations facing a change in approach: from business-driven moves to a greater proportion of employee driven moves.
- Established Mobility Programmes: you may have an established programme and provider and you’re looking for a fresh approach to your strategy, policy and processes and vendor selection.
