Business Flows, Supply Chain & Business Tax

Interim Director & Advisor helping companies design efficient business flows, supply chains and operating models while understanding the tax implications.

As companies expand, redesign supply chains, enter new markets or transform their operating models, tax consequences often follow.

The challenge is rarely the tax itself.

More often, it is about how commercial flows, contracts, distribution models, legal structures and operational decisions interact. Small changes in business design can create significant impacts on VAT, transfer pricing, permanent establishment exposure, customs, withholding taxes and other business-related tax matters.

I help companies map their business flows, understand the tax implications and design solutions that work commercially, operationally and from a risk management perspective.

My specialist area is VAT, but my work extends far beyond indirect taxes. I operate at the intersection of business strategy, supply chain design, international expansion and tax, helping organizations understand how business decisions create tax consequences across multiple disciplines.

With more than 25 years of experience in international business environments, I help companies develop scalable, efficient and sustainable operating models where tax supports business objectives rather than becoming an obstacle.

Business Flow Mapping

I analyze how goods, services, contracts and financial flows move throughout an organization, identifying risks, inefficiencies and tax implications across the value chain.

Business-Driven Tax Analysis

Commercial decisions often have broader tax consequences than expected. I help management teams understand the potential impact before changes are implemented.

VAT and Transactional Taxes

VAT remains my core specialist area, particularly in complex international environments involving cross-border transactions, supply chains and changing operating models.

Supply Chain & Operating Model Design

I help organizations understand how supply chain transformations, distribution structures and inventory strategies affect both business performance and tax outcomes.
