He is a chartered accountant with 20 years of experience in international tax and tax controversy. Prior to joining ENSafrica, Bernard was a senior partner and head of international tax in Johannesburg for an international accounting firm. He also serves as a non-executive director on a number of international and local boards of companies.

Bernard specialises in advising multinational enterprises on planning international transactions and investments, corporate structures, investment funds and the digital economy. He is also a leading specialist in tax controversy and leads defence teams on complex international tax and transfer pricing disputes. In addition, Bernard advises on transactions, corporate structuring and tax dispute matters in Africa. His extensive experience in planning and defending international transactions and corporate structures places him in an ideal position to provide advice on establishing a sustainable and resilient corporate tax strategy. Further, it is important to note that South Africa is a member of BRICS and a leading member of the African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF). As such, the country plays a central role in driving an increasingly aggressive approach to the taxation of multinationals, especially in Africa. Understanding the changing global dynamics and tax policies, the perspective of developing countries and the local realities of jurisdictions in which multinationals do business is key to managing global tax risk. Tax has been catapulted to centre stage in the global commercial world, and is a key consideration in managing corporate, reputational and commercial risk. It is essential for boards of directors and key executive decision makers to understand the dynamic change in the fiscal world and to incorporate the lessons learnt from the defence of structures into the planning of resilient future transactions and business models. Due to his thorough understanding of these critical issues and his significant experience, Bernard is able to assist clients with all of their international tax and tax controversy needs.
