Your Client. Your Relationship. Our Transfer Pricing Expertise.
When your client needs Transfer Pricing expertise that your firm does not have in-house, VCH & Associates can support you as a specialist TP partner.
You stay in control of the client relationship while VCH provides the specialist Transfer Pricing analysis, benchmarking, documentation and advisory support required for the engagement.
Add specialist Transfer Pricing capability when your client needs it.
Flexible support without the need to build a permanent in-house TP team.
Your Client Needs TP Expertise. You Don't Need to Build a TP Department.
Transfer Pricing requirements can be technical, specialised and difficult to handle without dedicated expertise. But occasional TP work may not justify building a permanent specialist team.
Your Team Is Already Managing Multiple Client Requirements
Partners and senior professionals may not have the bandwidth to take on complex Transfer Pricing analysis alongside their existing tax and compliance work.
The Requirement Needs Specialist Knowledge
Benchmarking, FAR analysis, methodology selection, documentation and assessment support require specialised Transfer Pricing expertise.
You Need Specialist Support Without Losing Client Control
Bringing in an external specialist should strengthen your client service without unnecessarily disrupting the relationship your firm has built.
Specialist TP Capacity Without Building an Internal TP Team
Bring in Transfer Pricing expertise when the requirement arises — without maintaining a full-time TP function for occasional or complex assignments.
Use Specialist Capacity When You Need It
Engage VCH around specific Transfer Pricing requirements instead of building a permanent specialist function for work that may not arise regularly.
Add Specialist Knowledge to Your Existing Team
Give your team access to specialist TP expertise while continuing to manage the broader client engagement from your firm.
Free Your Partners From Specialist Execution
Reduce the time your senior team needs to spend on detailed TP analysis while retaining oversight of the overall client relationship.

Discuss the requirement, expected deliverables, timeline and working model before proceeding with the engagement.

Questions CA Partners Ask Before Engaging a TP Specialist
Clear answers to common questions about working with an external Transfer Pricing specialist.
Will VCH contact my client directly?
The communication model can be agreed at the beginning of the engagement. If your firm prefers to remain the primary client contact, that working model can be discussed and structured accordingly.
How do I protect my client relationship when bringing in an external specialist?
Client communication responsibilities and the working model can be agreed upfront. Any specific client-protection or non-solicitation arrangements should be confirmed as part of the engagement terms.
Can VCH work with our existing tax team?
Yes. VCH can provide specialist Transfer Pricing support to your existing team rather than taking over the broader client engagement.
What if we only need a second opinion?
VCH can provide an independent review of a specific Transfer Pricing matter, such as a benchmark, methodology, documentation position, intercompany policy or assessment issue.
We don't get enough TP work to build an internal team. Can VCH support us on a requirement-by-requirement basis?
Yes. Specialist external capacity can be useful for occasional or complex requirements where maintaining a permanent internal TP function may not be practical.
Can VCH support us if the client has received a Transfer Pricing notice?
Yes. VCH can discuss support for Transfer Pricing assessments, notices and related matters depending on the nature and stage of the engagement.
Can VCH work directly with our internal team?
Yes. The engagement can be structured around technical advisory support to your team, preparation and review, or another agreed working model.
How is the scope determined?
VCH first understands the client's business, transaction structure, existing documentation and specific requirement. The engagement can then be scoped around the actual work required.
Can VCH help with multiple types of intercompany transactions?
Yes. The appropriate approach depends on the nature and economic characteristics of the transactions. Services, royalties, financing, goods, cost allocations and other arrangements may require different analyses.
Can VCH help establish a Transfer Pricing policy rather than only prepare documentation?
Yes. VCH can assist with developing or reviewing intercompany pricing policies based on the client's business model, transaction structure and relevant Transfer Pricing requirements.
Can we approach VCH without identifying the client initially?
Yes. You can initially discuss the general nature of the requirement without identifying the client. Specific information can be shared once the scope and information requirements are understood.
