Alvarez & Marsal hires PwC veteran Abhijit Ghosh to lead Tax arm in Southeast Asia

Global consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal has appointed Abhijit Ghosh as a Managing Director and Head of Tax for Southeast Asia.

Based in Singapore, Ghosh brings more than three and a half decades of experience in international tax structuring, transfer pricing, and intellectual property management to Alvarez & Marsal.

Prior to joining the consulting firm, Ghosh served for 28-years at PwC in Singapore, most recently as Senior Partner and Tax Market Leader. In that role, he assisted multinational corporations, small and medium enterprises, family offices, and non-profits in expanding their operations across Asia.

Ghosh is recognized for his expertise guiding organizations on tax structures, including the establishment of their regional operations. Leveraging his in-depth knowledge of Singapore as an inbound/outbound hub, he helps companies in several sectors through the complexities of government regulations. Additionally, Ghosh manages transfer pricing issues and implements intellectual property strategies to protect and maximize client investments.

A recognized thought leader, Ghosh has also served on numerous boards, including the World Wildlife Fund in Singapore, the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore and the editorial board of the Asia-Pacific Journal of Taxation.

“Abhijit’s leadership comes at the perfect time given our growing presence in Southeast Asia,” said Ernesto Perez, Managing Director and Global Tax Practice Leader at Alvarez & Marsal. “We are delighted to welcome him to the team. His experience coupled with deep relationships across the region will certainly bolster our ability to serve large corporate clients as they navigate business and tax challenges.”

The hiring follows the recent appointment of James Badenach as the Head of Tax for Asia Pacific, as Alvarez & Marsal continue its growth trajectory in the tax advisory landscape under the A&M Tax brand.

“Abhijit’s extensive experience in supporting multinational corporations’ inbound and outbound transactions, particularly in using Singapore as a hub for regional investments, will be instrumental in supporting our clients with their tax strategies and operations throughout Asia,” noted Badenach.
