Liam O'Brien

Director - Tax

I’ve recently returned to New Zealand after spending more than 14 years overseas, working for Deloitte in both Melbourne and London, where it’s been exciting to witness first-hand the impact that Kiwi companies are making on the global stage.

As a transfer pricing specialist with a role split across New Zealand and Australia, I enjoy helping multinational companies solve complex issues regarding cross border transactions within their global groups. My experience extends from helping SME’s with their first expansion offshore, to assisting large listed corporates with managing their global transfer pricing obligations. I have a particular passion for the transfer pricing aspects associated with intangible assets, having led projects for large listed corporates in Australia and the UK, focusing on issues relating to their brands, trademarks, patents, software and know-how.

I’m happy to be back in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, serving clients throughout Australasia. When I’m not working or running around after my two pre-school aged daughters, you’ll find me at the pool or beach attempting to re-live the competitive swimming days of my youth.
