London, 16 December 2025 – Vistra, a leading global provider of essential business services that help organisations to invest, grow, and operate efficiently and compliantly across the world, announces its inaugural recognition in the International Tax Review (ITR) World Tax 2026 guide, one of the tax profession’s most comprehensive and respected global directories.

In its first year of submission, Vistra has been ranked as ‘Other Notable’[1] for its Tax and Accounting services in Hong Kong SAR, India, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and as ‘Active’[2] in the developing national ranking for the United States. These recognitions mark a significant milestone, as the ITR World Tax guide does not guarantee ranking for firms in their initial year of submission. The rankings are based on a rigorous, multi-year evaluation process incorporating sustained market feedback and evidence of complex work.

“Being ranked in our first year of submission is a powerful validation of our global tax and accounting solution and the expertise of our teams on the ground,” said Jim Lee, EVP, Sales, Global at Vistra. “ITR’s methodology is built on consistency and proven performance over time. To enter their guide across five major jurisdictions reflects the positive response we’re receiving from the market and our clients for our integrated, seamless solution.”

A foundation for future growth

These debut listings reflect positive market signals for Vistra services and establish its presence within ITR’s prestigious global framework. As Vistra continues to deliver consistent, high-quality work and receive stable client feedback across these jurisdictions, it will be well-positioned for future tiered rankings. This progression aligns with Vistra’s commitment to building long-term, strategic tax partnerships with clients.

Meeting mid-market demands with a global solution

Vistra’s Tax and Accounting solution is designed for the realities of the mid-market, providing global coverage through a single, managed platform. It combines senior-level continuity, transparent pricing, and integrated technology to deliver both compliance confidence and strategic insight without enterprise-level costs.

“The global tax landscape is at an inflection point. By 2026, digital compliance, transparency, and evolving tax frameworks will converge, creating immense pressure on finance teams,” added Tom Lickess, Global Head of Tax Advisory at Vistra. “The outsourcing market is projected to grow significantly as CFOs seek a proactive partner. Our recognition by ITR World Tax underscores our ability to help mid-market enterprises build that proactive strategy today, by stress-testing exposure, modelling future impacts, and ensuring preparedness across more than 100 countries.”

 


[1] Other notable: A firm ranked as ‘other notable’ has participated in ITR research but may lack sufficient data for a full assessment, may have no client or peer feedback, and / or may lack visibility in their market.

[2] Active: A firm ranked in an ‘active’ table has evidenced a national presence in a given specialism, but the jurisdiction has not evidenced enough data to ITR to classify into ranked tiers quite yet.
