TP capability doesn't have to mean TP headcount.

Transfer Pricing work arrives in waves: a few assignments a year, a filing-season spike, an assessment that needs research depth. Building permanent capability around that rarely adds up, and referring the work elsewhere means handing over the client.

Occasional assignments, no dedicated team

TP work comes in irregularly, and it needs specialist method and database knowledge that general practice staff don't carry.

A permanent hire doesn't match the volume

The cost of a full-time TP professional is hard to justify against the number of assignments most practices actually see.

Peak periods need capacity, not commitments

Deadlines and assessment cycles create short, sharp workload spikes that fixed headcount can't flex around.

Specialist TP capability, available by assignment.

An extended Transfer Pricing capability for your practice. Engage us for a single assignment or across a season, with scope agreed up front.

Your client, your relationship

The client stays with your practice. We support you on the assignment.

Our TP work

Confidential handling

Confidentiality terms are agreed at the outset, and an NDA can be put in place on request.

No client logos. No public testimonials.

That’s deliberate. We don’t name the practices we work with, or their clients. Your client stays yours, and your identity stays confidential. Judge us on the work instead: see seven redacted sample reports.

An occasional TP assignment shouldn't become a reason to turn work away.

HLX TP gives professional practices specialist Transfer Pricing capability at the moment it's needed, without the cost and commitment of building a department for it.

Answers before you enquire

Anything else, ask us directly. A short message is enough.

Fees depend on the scope we agree with you, and everything is confirmed in writing before work starts. As a guide, fees start from ₹12,500 for a benchmarking analysis, ₹30,000 for complete TP documentation, and ₹40,000 for a royalty benchmarking using RoyaltyStat. We reply to every query within 24 hours. Once the scope is agreed, the first draft reaches you within 7 working days, or within 3 working days if it's urgent. Timelines can vary with the scope and volume of the assignment, and we'll confirm them before you commit.
