Stephen Alleway joins new Transfer Pricing firm Questro International to lead Swiss operation
Questro International, a new transfer pricing advisory firm, has announced the opening of their first office in Zurich and the recruitment of Stephen Alleway as their new head of Transfer Pricing in Switzerland.
Questro International was founded in October 2013 by experienced and internationally operating transfer pricing professionals. Stephen joins the firm after 15 years of Big 4 transfer pricing experience at both PricewaterhouseCoppers (PwC) and Deloitte, covering the UK, Australia, and Switzerland.
Stephen was most recently the founder of Deloitte’s transfer pricing group in Switzerland and assumed a variety of transfer pricing leadership roles during his time as a Partner with the firm. He has more than 15 years’ tax experience in the field of transfer pricing and has acquired broad experience in leading large global projects for Swiss and foreign headquartered multinationals.
Stephen has been named as a leading transfer pricing adviser in various publications since 2007 and has been listed in recent Euromoney/Legal Media Expert guides. He was cited in the 2012 publication of World Tax, the International Tax Review’s directory of leading tax advisory firms around the world, as an adviser recommended for his transfer pricing work by contemporaries in the Swiss market. He is a contributor to publications on transfer pricing and speaks widely on the subject in Switzerland and Internationally.
Before joining Questro, Stephen was recruited in 2006 by Deloitte AG in Switzerland to establish and build up a transfer pricing group in Switzerland. Under his leadership, he established a well regarded team of professionals and helped raise Deloitte’s profile locally. This was recognised in the market with various client wins and awards, including International Tax Review’s Transfer Pricing Firm of the Year Award in May 2008.
Stephen comments: “I am delighted to be joining a group of senior professionals in launching a new and truly innovative transfer pricing advisory firm. Transfer pricing has never been higher as an issue on the global tax agenda. For me, it makes perfect sense that our first office should open in Switzerland, which finds itself at the heart of so many client’s TP structures and is under great international scrutiny within the current G20 debate about tax base erosion and profit shifting”
