Harnessing flexibility and technology in tax

Meet Gaurav, a director in the Transfer Pricing team based in London. Gaurav shares how he’s harnessing flexibility and technology in this role, as well as his passion for drumming.

About me

My career journey so far has spanned multiple jurisdictions, including India, the Middle East (Dubai), and now the UK where I work in the Transfer Pricing team at EY.

Here, I have carved out a niche as a transfer pricing specialist within the mergers and acquisitions market, where I leverage my expertise to help multinational corporations maximise value in their deal-making process.

Beyond my technical role, I am dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace. As an 'Inclusion Champion' for the tax service line, I actively contribute to enhancing the performance evaluation process, ensuring that it is fair and equitable for all team members.

Harnessing flexibility

In my role at EY, I harness flexibility to support my personal well-being and professional success by balancing my responsibilities as a parent to a young family.

This flexibility enables me to be present for my family while still making meaningful contributions to our projects.

Knowing that my team appreciates and accommodates my needs, while fostering a positive work environment, enhances both my productivity and overall well-being.

Cutting-edge technology

As a transfer pricing professional, technology is essential for driving efficiency in my daily tasks.

EY has developed several tech tools that enable sophisticated data analysis. Not only am I empowered to interpret complex financial information quickly and efficiently, but these innovative tools also ensure I’m working to evolving regulations and compliance processes.

These automation tools reduce the time and manual effort I dedicate to routine tasks, allowing me focus more on strategic insights and client engagements.

Finding fulfilment

The most fulfilling aspect of my role is mentoring junior team members and contributing to their career development.

After benefitting from great mentorship throughout my career, I am passionate about giving back and providing the same experience for others. I really enjoy supporting other people’s growth and contributing to their career development.

Something interesting

Something interesting about me is that I’m quite passionate about drumming.

Music has always been a significant part of my life, and playing the drums allows me to unwind. Whether jamming with friends or teaching my one-year-old son (never too early to start), drumming helps me maintain a balanced perspective amidst my busy career.
