Zara Ritchie leaves PwC to lead transfer pricing at BDO Melbourne

BDO Australia announced that two tax partners are joining the practice in Melbourne, including new transfer pricing lead Ritchie.

Ritchie has over 27 years of experience in tax, with over half of that time being solely dedicated to transfer pricing. She will step formally into the role on the first of March 2015.

Jason de Boer, previously with Deloitte, has joined BDO’s corporate tax team. De Boer worked in Deloitte’s corporate tax team for nearly fourteen years.

In a statement announcing the appointments, BDO Australia said that its tax practice has grown ten percent over the last year.
