Strategic Alliances
Our extensive network of trusted global corporate alliances and strategic partners is continuously expanding our deep regional intelligence to deliver comprehensive, high-value execution for our valued clients.
End-to-End
Without
Fragmentation
CBS's strategic alliance model solves the most persistent challenge facing growing organisations in the region: vendor fragmentation. Rather than managing separate relationships with a finance outsourcer, payroll provider, tax firm, auditor, and technology consultant — CBS clients receive a single coordinated service experience across all these functions, governed by one relationship.
Each alliance partner is an independent specialist entity — not a subsidiary — which preserves the objectivity, independence, and professional standing required for audit, tax, and compliance work. CBS coordinates across these entities on behalf of clients, managing the integration, communication, and delivery disciplines that would otherwise fall to the client.
Our Alliance
Partners
Each CBS alliance partner is an independently operated specialist entity, selected for their practitioner depth, professional standing, and operational compatibility with CBS delivery standards. Together, they extend the CBS service capability to cover every dimension of a client's corporate back-office and advisory needs.
Taxperts Lanka Pvt Ltd
PRIVATE LIMITED — SRI LANKA
Taxperts Lanka is CBS's specialist tax advisory partner, delivering comprehensive tax services that complement CBS's finance and compliance managed services. As a registered tax advisory firm, Taxperts handles all statutory tax compliance, planning, and advisory work that requires formal tax practitioner certification.
Taxperts Maldives (Pvt.) Ltd
PRIVATE LIMITED — MALDIVES
Taxperts Maldives extends CBS's regional capability into the Maldives, providing local tax advisory, corporate governance support, and operational advisory to CBS clients operating in or expanding into the Maldivian market. Led by Rihsan Lathyf (Managing Director), the entity spearheads operations and strategic growth across the Maldives region.
Assurance Partners
CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS — SRI LANKA
Assurance Partners is an independent firm of chartered accountants providing rigorous audit and assurance services to CBS clients requiring statutory, internal, or regulatory audit. Their independence from CBS is a structural necessity — ensuring the objectivity and professional credibility required for audit engagements. CBS coordinates engagement logistics while Assurance Partners exercises full independent professional judgment.
Digital Business Labs (Pvt) Ltd
TECHNOLOGY PARTNER — SRI LANKA
Digital Business Labs enables CBS clients to operationalise advisory and managed service recommendations through technology. This partnership converts strategic and operational improvements into automated, system-integrated workflows — reducing manual effort, improving data integrity, and building the digital discipline that underpins long-term operational excellence.
Engagement Models
CBS and its alliance partners operate under three primary engagement models — designed to match the scale, urgency, and nature of each client's requirements. All models share the same governance standards: RACI-based delivery, defined SLAs, evidence documentation, and regular performance reporting.
Managed Services Retainer
Monthly fee structure with agreed volume bands and SLA tiers for ongoing operational stability. CBS and alliance partners deliver continuous managed services under a single master services agreement. Includes monthly KPI reporting and quarterly business reviews.
Organizations outsourcing Finance, Payroll, and Compliance functions on an ongoing basis
Project-Based Engagement
Fixed fee or time-and-materials engagements with clearly defined milestones, deliverables, and a structured project governance framework. Ideal for specific advisory mandates — governance reviews, financial modelling, audit readiness, or digital implementation projects.
One-time advisory mandates, system implementations, audit readiness, and governance design
Advisory-to-Managed Transition
Advisory-led design and transition phases moving seamlessly into managed operations. Commonly used for clients establishing new functions, entering new markets, or transitioning from in-house to outsourced delivery. The advisory phase concludes with a documented operational handover and SLA activation.
New market entry, function setup, ERP transitions, and in-house to outsourced migrations
Global
Footprint
Through CBS and its alliance network, clients receive coordinated delivery across three active geographic markets — with Sri Lanka as the corporate headquarters and primary delivery centre, and active operations in the Maldives and client service capability into the United States.
Sri Lanka
CORPORATE HQ & GLOBAL DELIVERY CENTER
No. 101, Olcott Mawatha, Colombo 11. Primary office for all CBS managed services delivery, corporate advisory, and alliance coordination. All CBS core service lines — Finance Shared Services, Talent, Risk & Compliance, and Advisory — are delivered from Colombo.
Mal dives
TAX & CORPORATE ADVISORY HUB
Operated by Taxperts Maldives (Pvt.) Ltd, the Maldives office provides local tax compliance, corporate governance advisory, and regulatory liaison for clients operating in the Maldivian market — including BPT, GST, and MIRA representation.
United States
FINANCE & ACCOUNTING SERVICES - CLIENT BASE
CBS serves US-based clients primarily through Finance & Accounting managed services — including Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, Record-to-Report, and Fixed Assets management — delivered remotely from the Colombo delivery centre with US-standard reporting and governance.
Scope Boundaries
& Clarity
CBS operates with complete transparency about what it covers and what requires an independently appointed professional. This clarity is a design feature, not a limitation — it protects clients from unknowingly relying on non-qualified practitioners for work that carries legal or regulatory consequence.
Operational, Advisory & Specialist Services
CBS and its alliance partners handle all processing, controls, advisory, and documentation work — including work that requires formal tax practitioner or audit qualifications, delivered through the appropriate alliance entity.
External Professionals — Required by Statute
Certain functions require professionals appointed directly by the client under statutory or contractual obligation. CBS supports coordination, documentation, and logistics but does not replace the client's independently appointed professional in these roles.
