A group of tax professionals, mainly from US transfer pricing firm Economics Partners, have formed a new firm, Valentiam Group.

The managing partner of the new firm will be Dan Peters, who has previously worked in comparable roles for Duff & Phelps and KPMG.

Other founding partners are Carl Hoemke, who has experience at EY and Duff & Phelps and will lead Valentiam’s valuation services practice, as well as Clark Chandler, Sean Faulkner, David Talakoub and Jared Walls.

Valentiam, which is also a US member firm of WTS Global, will have six offices, situated in: New York, Philadelphia, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle and South Florida. Walls, who also co-leads the WTS Global transfer pricing service line, told International Tax Review that the firm will be the sixth-largest provider of transfer pricing services in the US.
