Transfer Pricing Solutions named finalist in two categories at the Australian Accounting Awards 2026.
Recognition of growth, leadership and technical impact.

Transfer Pricing Solutions (TPS) has been named a finalist in two major categories at the Australian Accounting Awards 2026, recognising the firm’s continued growth, technical leadership and impact in the Australian and Asia‑Pacific transfer pricing market. TPS has been shortlisted for:

  • Boutique Firm of the Year
  • Fastest Growing Firm of the Year

The Australian Accounting Awards celebrate excellence across the profession, recognising firms that are shaping the future of accounting through innovation, technical capability and sustained business performance. Being named a finalist places TPS among a select group of high‑performing professional services firms nationally.

The dual finalist recognition reflects TPS’s strong trajectory as a specialist, non‑Big 4 transfer pricing firm delivering complex, high‑stakes advisory work for multinational groups operating across Australia, Asia and the Middle East. Over recent years, TPS has expanded while maintaining a director‑led delivery model, supporting clients through:

  • Complex transfer pricing documentation and audit defence
  • Multi‑jurisdictional restructures and intercompany financing arrangements
  • High‑risk and time‑critical engagements involving tax authorities across multiple countries

This growth has been underpinned by consistent investment in senior talent, technical training and scalable processes, allowing the firm to grow without compromising quality or client access to decision‑makers.

Boutique Firm of the Year - Specialist depth at scale

The Boutique Firm of the Year finalist position recognises TPS’s ability to combine deep technical expertise with the agility of a specialist firm. Led by Shannon Smit, founding director and long‑standing transfer pricing lecturer at the University of Melbourne, TPS has built a reputation for tackling technically complex and commercially sensitive transfer pricing matters typically handled by much larger firms. Shannon’s leadership has shaped a culture of rigorous analysis, practical risk management and direct partner involvement on every engagement.
This is complemented by the work of Hong Chuan Tan, whose cross‑border experience spans Australia, Asia and emerging markets. Hong Chuan has led numerous engagements involving complex related‑party transactions, regulatory negotiations and bespoke transfer pricing frameworks, helping multinational clients achieve audit certainty and defensible outcomes under intense scrutiny.  

Fastest Growing Firm of the Year - Sustainable, specialist expansion

Being named a finalist for Fastest Growing Firm of the Year reflects TPS’s sustained and disciplined expansion as demand for specialist transfer pricing expertise continues to increase. The firm’s growth has been driven by:

  • Increasing regulatory scrutiny and audit activity across Australia and Asia
  • Clients seeking alternatives to Big 4 firms without sacrificing technical quality
  • TPS’s proven ability to scale complex work across jurisdictions while remaining partner‑led

TPS has focused on building long‑term client relationships, investing in senior technical capability and expanding its regional footprint to support multinational clients operating across Asia‑Pacific and beyond.

Looking ahead

The finalist recognition reinforces TPS’s position as one of Australia’s leading specialist transfer pricing firms and a trusted adviser to multinational groups navigating an increasingly complex global tax environment.

“This recognition reinforces that there is strong demand for specialist, non‑Big 4 transfer pricing firms that can handle genuinely complex work at scale. Our growth has been driven by clients looking for deep technical expertise, direct partner involvement and practical outcomes under real regulatory pressure. Being shortlisted in both categories is a credit to the calibre of our people and the quality of work they deliver.”
