Dean Madsen

I am a

tax partner at EY, based in Auckland New Zealand. I lead EY's International and Transaction Tax Services team in Oceania. This is an outstanding team of market leading professionals across all of Australia and New Zealand. We help our clients solve their most complex problems - with a broad team covering areas including international taxation, transfer pricing, transactions and tax governance and controversy. Personally, I cannot do all of that! I specialise in international corporate taxation and have more than 20 years' experience in the area. This time has been spent between New Zealand, the UK and the US. During this time I have acquired significant experience in international tax structuring, design of business operating models and all aspects around the taxation of cross-border commerce. I've also had the pleasure of working with some of the largest multinational groups in the world. I strongly believe my role and indeed that of my team is to add value to the business of our clients through provision of advice that is commercially applicable. We'll achieve that by being passionate about our clients' business and by communicating in a way that is easily digestible, resonant and bespoke. Key skills:• Mergers and acquisitions • International tax structuring • Cross border financing • Operating model design
