We’re delighted to welcome John Monds to CP as Associate Partner and leader of our national Transfer Pricing team.
Hot on the heels of our ground-breaking investment partnership with New York-based Lee Equity and our 13th acquisition in two years, John’s arrival significantly expands the scope of our national tax offering.
Based out of our newly refurbished Manchester superhub, John brings over 20 years of Big 4 and in-house Transfer Pricing experience to deliver practical and effective solutions for clients.
Before joining CP, John was Group Head of Transfer Pricing at JD Sports. The sportswear retailer operated in 38 different countries which, when paired with John’s Big 4 background at EY and KPMG, means he has significant experience in both creating and implementing Transfer Pricing policies in most major global jurisdictions.
John said:
“CP feels so different to other advisory environments I’ve been in and the collaborative approach across the firm is going to help me grow our Transfer Pricing business much faster. I’m looking forward to bringing my experience on both sides of the in-house and advisory fence to help other businesses manage their Transfer Pricing policies in a sensible way – one that allows them to still be commercial and operate effectively, while staying on top of the ever-increasing tax risks. There’s a lot going on in the Transfer Pricing world right now, and this move back into an advisory role at a firm with sky-high ambitions feels like it’s come at an opportune moment.”
Simon Baines, our Head of Tax added:
“John’s arrival is another big step forward for our national tax team and the Transfer Pricing support we can offer to our clients. It’s rare to find someone with John’s depth of experience and commercial mindset, and he’s a perfect fit for the bold, joined-up advice our clients expect. With John now on board, our Transfer Pricing capability and growth plans are in the best possible hands, and I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds.”
