Aaron Leslie

Managing Director

PROFESSIONAL

I am an ex-Transfer Pricing Director, turned recruiter with over 30 years’ international experience. Superior service is at the centre of what I strive to deliver to my clients and candidates every single day. Having been both a client who has built Transfer Pricing and Tax teams in multiple countries, as well as being a senior tax candidate moving internationally for career enhancement, I have real-world, lived experience of both sides of the fence.

Relationships, trustworthiness and loyalty are the three elements that keep getting me out of bed in the morning. If you want a transactional recruiter who doesn’t care about the long-term, then I am not the recruiter for you. If you want a career-enduring coach, partner and advisor, then I think we can work together just fine.

I now have a Global focus on Partner, Director, Head of and team moves in the TP, International Tax, Tax Technology and Digital Transformation areas, for both professional services and in-house clients.

PERSONAL

Originally from New Zealand and now having lived and worked in 5 countries (NZ, Australia, Switzerland, Canada and the UK), travelling is a real passion of mine – although, I am a creature of habit. But after visiting Malta 6 years in a row for our summer vacations, my family have now put their collective feet down and insists we try somewhere new each year!

And continuing to support the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team of course!

“TPI Search is a firm that exemplifies the very best virtues of a world class recruitment firm. Having worked with the team at TPI Search for well over a decade, there is little doubt in my mind that they are indeed the gold standard for TP recruitment. Their outstanding connections with many of the world's pre-eminent consulting and multinational firms is superbly complemented by their deep and intimate knowledge of the worldwide transfer pricing market and access to an extensive roster of quality candidates, many of whom they have worked with for years. When this is combined with their passion and dedication to finding the best fit for their clients, be it firms or candidates, as well as their excellent personalised guidance to candidates throughout the hiring process, there are very few recruiters who can match the value they add to the recruitment process.”
