Transfer Pricing Solutions Pty Ltd

What Transfer Pricing Solutions Pty Ltd does

Transfer Pricing Solutions Pty Ltd is a privately held boutique transfer pricing advisory firm headquartered in Mornington, Victoria, Australia, with offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur, and claimed presence in the UAE. The firm was founded by Shannon Smit, a long-standing transfer pricing lecturer at the University of Melbourne, and is led under a director-led delivery model with senior practitioner involvement on every engagement. It operates regional subsidiaries — Transfer Pricing Solutions Asia and Transfer Pricing Solutions Malaysia — wholly owned under the parent entity, and is privately held with no disclosed external investor ownership.

The firm offers 14 core services spanning the full transfer pricing lifecycle: Country-by-Country Reporting, Public CbCR Guidance, Internal Audit Tax Transfer Pricing, Benchmarking, Contracts, Controversy and Audits, Documentation and Compliance, Global Minimum Tax (Pillar Two), Multinational Anti-Avoidance Law, Policy Preparation, Planning and BEPS, services for Accounting and Law Firms, SME Solutions, and Training and Workshops. There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm's delivery model is human-advisory driven. Its competitive positioning emphasises being a non-Big 4 alternative with ex-Big 4 senior talent, transparent upfront pricing, and considerably lower fees than major advisory competitors.

Transfer Pricing Solutions generates revenue through professional services engagements billed on a project and consultation basis, with no publicly disclosed fee schedule. The firm serves three primary segments: multinational enterprises requiring cross-jurisdictional transfer pricing compliance and audit defence, SMEs with international operations seeking cost-effective documentation, and accounting and law firms requiring specialist referral support. Industry verticals explicitly targeted include Software/SaaS and FinTech, Shipping and Trade, Foreign Subsidiaries, Commodities, and Asset and Wealth Management. Marketing relies on content (blog, e-books, webinars), industry event participation (TP Minds), publications, and email newsletters, with a direct advisory sales motion rather than channel partnerships.
