  As a Senior Transfer Pricing Economist, I specialize in delivering high-impact solutions for MNE groups seeking tax optimization and risk management in alignment with OECD Guidelines, BEPS Actions and local rules. My expertise encompasses:Strategic Value Chain: I design and assess innovative Value Chain and Transfer Pricing strategies that not only ensure tax efficiency but also offer risk mitigation, while ensuring seamless compliance with tax authoritiesAsset Valuation: I especialize in asset valuation, covering both tangible and intangible assets. Having completed an international master's degree in this area, and having spent years at a Big4 firm developing projects of this nature, my experience in valuation projects provides clients with solid support in asset transfer or sale transactions. My work includes financial modeling, precise discount rate estimation, and the application of advanced valuation methodologies.Financial Structuring: I have vast experience in designing financial structuring projects that require meticulously testing transactions for compliance with the arm's length principle. Over the last few years I have conducted dozens of analyses of interest rate definition, repayment capacity and debt to equity levels.Customized Tools and Applications: I leverage my expertise to create and offer tailored tools and applications, providing clients with dynamic solutions in tax, valuation, and finance. I complemented my economic knowledge with skills focused on designing, programming and end-to-end development of Excel-based tools.Documentation: I am experienced in the entire process of preparing the main transfer pricing documents. While this type of project is often considered routine, I add value by detecting inconsistencies between the policies applied by the parent company and the prices applied between subsidiaries of the group. This is especially valuable when preparing documentation to be presented in audit procedures. Mostrar menos
