Case studies
A selection of the searches we've run, how we ran them and how they turned out.
Transfer Pricing
Heads of Transfer Pricing
Two Heads of Transfer Pricing were required for a global investment bank's newly decentralised business units. The bank first attempted to use its own resources and networks in sourcing candidates but soon realised that the talent pool was global rather than just isolated to the job locations. Both roles were ultimately filled within three months of us being instructed, and both hires are still in place today.
Head of Transfer Pricing
Due to a senior retirement, a new Global Head of Transfer Pricing for a large ASX listed group covering 35 countries was required. After a global search, the successful candidate was an Australian who had been working in London and North America for a decade and was now looking to return home. Our shortlist was so strong that two additional candidates were hired to build a strong leadership team.
Transfer Pricing Partner
A Partner was required to strengthen this firm's Australian and APAC Transfer Pricing practice. Due to our deep relationships and experience of working in the Australian market for over a decade at the time, we identified a small yet highly relevant shortlist. An offer was made within 14 weeks of commencing the assignment, and the Partner we placed is still in the role today.
Transfer Pricing Partner
We were instructed to source this firm's first ever Sydney based Transfer Pricing Partner; a strategic assignment instrumental in shaping the future of the practice. We found a senior Australian Transfer Pricing leader who was returning from extensive overseas assignments, whose experience set them apart from local candidates. An offer was made within a month and the Partner is still in place today.
Tax Technology & Transformation
Tax Technology Director
A top-tier professional services firm needed a Tax Technology Director to lead the growth of its digital tax offering across Southeast Asia. The appointment was central to its regional expansion plans. We have since built a high-performing tax technology practice from the Singapore headquarters.
E-invoicing Partner
A challenger firm was building a new e-invoicing service line and needed a partner to lead it. Mandatory e-invoicing rules are coming into force across the UK and Europe, which made the timing of the appointment important. We appointed a partner with both market profile and a record of winning new business.
Tax Transformation & Managed Services Director
A London-based Tax Transformation and Managed Services Director wanted a clearer route to equity partnership than their existing Big 4 team could offer. We identified a Big 4 team where the director’s experience matched its growth plans and where the path to partner was clearly defined. The move gave the director a stronger platform and a team invested in their progression.
Tax Technology & Transformation Associate Director
A Big 4 firm was launching a tax technology and transformation service line in the Middle East. We introduced an Associate Director from a rival global advisory firm who had the experience to help get it off the ground. For the candidate, joining at the build stage meant a hand in shaping the offering and playing a visible role in its growth, strengthening their partner track.
