Our unique approach to value chain analysis is based on the premise that any value chain must be synced with specific transfer pricing and tax implications in each jurisdiction.” Global Markets are resulting in companies operating cross border with multiple product lines, multiple governance and business models. It is in this complex environment that TPA Global thrives. “We understand the complex requirements of multinationals operating in this market,” Steef says. “We like to coordinate our project efforts through centrally managing our mandates via our central services platform always operational led by one of our Senior Partners. This Platform manages cross- border and cross-disciplinary teams of professionals and delivers and implements pragmatic solutions for our clients.” A Woman on Top
