Though many opportunities exist for students interested in a career in tax law, there has been no clear environment for cultivating talent in the area of transfer pricing. Now, an ABA program offers up-and-coming professionals the opportunity to learn directly from leaders in this niche field.  

Launched in the midst of the pandemic in 2020, “Transfer Pricing: From Classroom to Boardroom” (TP C2B) seeks to provide students interested in pursuing transfer pricing careers with a multi-disciplinary “insider” look into how transfer pricing policies are designed and administered. With the help of mentors and enthusiastic volunteers, the program culminates in a capstone project at the end of each year-long session. 

Co-founders Elizabeth Stevens and Niraja Srinivasan joined the “GILTI Conscience” podcast to discuss why they started the program, how it has evolved and potential opportunities for expansion. 

Interested in volunteering? TP C2B is seeking mentors from all backgrounds who can help organize the capstone and take on other duties to help mentor the next generation of transfer pricing professionals. Send an email to [email protected] to see how you can get involved.
