Transfer Pricing Documentation Agent
Builds and maintains OECD-compliant transfer pricing documentation and intercompany pricing analysis across multinational entities.
Multinational groups must justify intercompany pricing for goods, services, IP licensing, and financing under arm's-length standards in every jurisdiction where they operate, and the local file, master file, and country-by-country reporting requirements differ by country and change frequently
Tax teams typically rebuild benchmarking studies and functional analyses annually in a rushed, manual process that draws on financial data scattered across ERP instances and subsidiary ledgers
Inconsistent documentation across jurisdictions increases audit risk and can trigger double taxation, penalties, or mutual agreement procedures
Keeping intercompany agreements aligned with actual transaction flows, and evidencing that pricing was set and monitored contemporaneously rather than after the fact, is a persistent operational challenge
The agent pulls intercompany transaction data, entity functional profiles, and financial statements from ERP and consolidation systems, then benchmarks pricing against comparable company and transaction databases to test arm's-length ranges. It drafts jurisdiction-specific local files and a group master file using the functional analysis, industry data, and economic analysis it assembles, flagging any intercompany flows that fall outside benchmarked ranges. Documentation is refreshed on a rolling basis so filings reflect current-year data rather than a year-end reconstruction.
