Transfer Pricing Segmented Financials Director

The mandate

This project will create controlled segmented financials for selected transfer-pricing analyses. The defined problem is that tested results rely on allocations or management views that cannot be reproduced consistently from accounting records. The assignment must deliver transaction-relevant profit-and-loss views, allocation governance and a reconciled pilot without becoming a redesign of enterprise management reporting.

Milestone one, due in week five, is an accepted map of tested transactions, entities, accounts, data sources and current segmentation breaks. Milestone two, at month three, is the approved segmentation methodology, direct-attribution rules, allocation hierarchy, materiality and control design. Each rule must state its economic rationale and data limitation.

Milestone three, in month five, is a production-representative pilot reconciling segment totals to the ledger and transfer-pricing calculations. The final milestone is the accepted data dictionary, calculation files, evidence index, operator assessment and recurring calendar. Transfer Pricing accepts transaction relevance; controllership accepts ledger reconciliation and allocation control.

The client provides chart of accounts, ledgers, cost-centre and product records, management views, transaction definitions and owner access. Acceptance requires complete reconciliation, supported direct attribution, reasoned allocation, reproducible transformations and closure of critical defects. Pricing-policy redesign, ERP change, broad cost-accounting transformation and documentation filing are excluded.

What you will own

• Map selected controlled transactions to entities, ledger accounts, management dimensions, direct records and required tested-party outcomes.
• Define direct attribution before allocation and document why each residual allocation key reflects economic consumption or contribution.
• Establish treatment for shared costs, pass-through items, exceptional entries, foreign exchange, eliminations and balance-sheet effects.
• Build reconciliation from segmented results to approved ledgers and from those results to transfer-pricing calculations and adjustments.
• Create change control for account mapping, transaction scope, allocation keys, data sources and material manual overrides.
• Run a pilot across contrasting transaction families and investigate unexplained margin or cost movement before acceptance.
• Test permanent operators through a new-account and changed-transaction scenario using the approved methodology.
• Deliver accepted models, dictionaries, controls, reconciliations, limitations and recurring ownership.

Candidate qualifications

• At least 15 years across transfer pricing, management accounting or tax data, including Director-level segmented-financial design.
• A tested-party result you changed after proving that source allocations or account mapping were economically unreliable.
• Strong command of transaction delineation, direct attribution, allocation logic, segmented P&L, ledger reconciliation and year-end adjustment.
• Experience distinguishing management reporting usefulness from the precise financial view required for transfer-pricing testing.
• Evidence of rejecting a convenient allocation key because it did not reflect economic consumption or contribution.
• Ability to coordinate tax, controllership and data owners through separate relevance and reconciliation approvals.
• Fixed-deliverable project completion using a live pilot, defect retesting and operator assessment.

Working terms and boundaries

• Four working days are reserved in each week of the six-month delivery window; payment follows acceptance of the four contracted outputs.
• Transfer Pricing accepts transaction relevance and method alignment; controllership separately accepts ledger and allocation-control integrity.
• Ledgers, chart of accounts, management dimensions, transaction definitions and owner access are dated client inputs.
• Pricing-policy redesign, ERP changes, enterprise cost-accounting transformation and filing work are excluded.
• Final acceptance requires a reconciled pilot, resolved critical defects, reproducible transformations and tested permanent operators.

Application

Applications for this mandate are received in one way only: through the India Board Terminal's application process. It is automated end to end. Your Executive Passport travels to the mandate holder in its confidential form, your answers to the three questions below are read before anything else in your file, and every stage that follows is recorded on your applications page.

There is no address to write to and no intermediary to call. The mandate holder reads what the Terminal delivers and nothing else, which is what keeps the process the same for every applicant and keeps your name out of it until you release it. Applications close on 12 October 2026. Mandate reference TAX-CON-2026-SIN-48.
