Bio

Transfer pricing and international tax advisory services helping Australian and multinational businesses navigate complex cross-border tax issues, manage risk and achieve commercially practical outcomes.

I have over 25 years of experience in transfer pricing and international taxation, mainly within Big Four accounting firms and have worked in the UK, South Africa, and Australia. My experience includes leading specialist transfer pricing teams and advising multinational groups, privately owned businesses and listed companies on complex international tax matters.

I specialise in helping businesses manage the tax implications of their international operations, with expertise in transfer pricing planning, documentation, intercompany financing, Pillar 2 requirements, and international tax structuring. I also assist clients with managing tax authority reviews and disputes, advance pricing arrangements (APA) and mutual agreement procedures (MAP).

Throughout my career, I have worked with clients across a broad range of industries, including mining, energy and natural resources, construction, professional services, and manufacturing businesses. My experience includes leading a Pan-African Transfer Pricing Centre of Excellence and working with international teams to deliver coordinated advice across multiple jurisdictions.

I take a practical, commercially focused approach to tax advice, recognising that effective solutions need to balance technical compliance with the commercial realities of operating a business. I enjoy working closely with business owners, CFOs and finance teams to simplify complex tax issues, identify risks and develop clear, defensible solutions that support their broader business objectives.
