Founded to address a market need. We provide non-leveraged, partner-driven, finance and economics services to large corporate tax departments.

We handle all of the applied finance and economics needs of our corporate tax and law firm clients.

These include restructuring-related valuation and economic analyses, in both controversy and planning settings. We act as expert witnesses. We negotiate audit settlements and advance pricing agreements between governments and taxpayers. We price, document, and defend our clients’ most sensitive intercompany transactions. We provide economic analysis in support of our clients’ negotiations with governments regarding tax incentives.

In contrast to most of our competitors, we are committed to maintaining a Senior:Junior staff ratio of 1:1. This is critical to our partner-driven service model, our staff apprenticeship model, and our quality control procedures.

We are thought leaders in the areas of intangible asset valuation, transfer pricing, and general valuation theory. Our white papers and publications have gained notoriety around the world, and are recognized by corporate clients, lawyers, and tax authorities as offering real advances. Our valuation models are transparently available to our clients, allowing us to work jointly with them on many of their most important valuation and transfer pricing matters.


What IS an
Edgeworth Box?

The Edgeworth Box

Named after the famous economist Francis Ysidro Edgeworth (1845-1926), the Edgeworth Box is a simple, graphical, way to show gains from trade. The box consists of the indifference curves of two parties - one set beginning at the bottom left corner of the box, and the other at the top right.

The Edgeworth Box is simply a way to show that from any initial starting point, two parties to a bargain will eventually arrive at a point on the "offer curve," where neither can be made any better off. However, in the process of arriving at the offer curve, both parties experience gains from trade.

Our logo is based upon a stylized version of Edgeworth's box - showing the offer curve and two indifference curves. In addition to being (we think) an attractive logo, it represents "arm's length bargaining," which is fitting given our work in the transfer pricing field.
