The AI platform for transfer pricing benchmarking and documentation.
Go from a database export to an audit-ready benchmark in minutes — with consistent decision logic, linked evidence, and full reviewer control. You review. You decide.
Transfer pricing teams have been promised automation for thirty years.
The tools that unlock automation and AI — now, not someday.
Benchmarking and documentation you can start using today, built on best practice for data handling, transfer pricing, and responsible AI. Efficiency that respects the craft.
AI Benchmarks — the new benchmark for benchmarking.
Move from a database longlist to a defensible conclusion with one consistent decision logic. Every company is profiled, every accept or reject is motivated, and every screenshot is captured with its URL and timestamp — so the study holds up when the tax authority asks how you got there.
TP/OS — documentation that fits your data, not the other way around.
Keep your methodology and templates. Add structure and AI support to accelerate data collection, drafting, localization, and review — with human sign-off on every material position. Your story, told well, with the audit trail a proper review process demands.
Don’t just document transfer pricing — monitor it.
TP Monitor tracks every entity’s margin against its arm’s length range all year and alerts you the moment one drifts — so you adjust before year-end, not under audit.
Built on millions of real transfer pricing analyses.
Developed by practitioners, tested against real client work, and explainable at every step. The AI proposes; a human always disposes.
Benchmarking-first validation begins on 100k+ analyses.
1M+ analyses validated across live delivery teams.

Meet the new benchmark for transfer pricing.
From database export to audit-ready benchmark reports in minutes — with consistent decision logic, complete evidence capture, and full reviewer control.
Benchmarking is a low-margin, high-risk business.
Senior people should not spend hours reading company profiles, taking screenshots, and drafting summaries. AI should do that work so your team can focus on comparability judgment and defensible positions.
Manual review of hundreds of companies
Teams read comparable profiles one by one instead of applying senior technical judgment.
Weak audit trail drives errors
Missing screenshots and unstructured evidence make decisions hard to defend and raise review risk.
Copy-paste reporting slows delivery
Moving data into templates by hand adds non-value work and extends turnaround for clients.
From database export to consistent decisions in minutes.
Import & auto-fill websites
Drop in your database export. Companies load immediately and missing websites are resolved before review.
AI analyses hundreds in minutes
It scans company websites and public sources, captures evidence, and writes TP-ready summaries.
Consistent accept / reject
The same decision logic runs row by row and explains why each company is accepted, rejected, or flagged.
You stay in full control
Open any flagged company, inspect the highlighted evidence, and override the decision.
Branded reports, saved once
Set your logo, palette, and fonts a single time and reuse them across every study.
Deliver in seconds
Generate the final Excel and PDF report ready for the file and the client.

The operating system for your transfer pricing documentation.
Keep your methodology and templates, then add structure and AI support to accelerate data collection, drafting, localization, and review — with full human control.
Documentation is a pain.
It should not depend on copy-paste marathons and formatting workarounds. TP/OS moves teams to a structured workflow without giving up their methodology.
Still drafting in Word?
Teams lose hours to copy-paste, formatting clean-up, and version-control churn that adds no transfer pricing value.
Trapped by rigid software?
Many systems force a fixed process that breaks your methodology, review flow, and client-specific requirements.
Roll-forwards and reviews hurt?
Local reviewers change what should stay consistent and miss what actually needs review — creating rework and clean-up.
Localization chaos?
Country-specific requirements, languages, and recurring updates are hard to manage consistently across jurisdictions.
From unstructured data to documentation that fits your business.

We built the tool we always wanted.
The promise of automation in transfer pricing has been around for years. We built Tessera to make it real.
Getting transfer pricing done.
TP teams spend too much time on compliance mechanics and not enough on whether prices are actually arm's length. The case for automation is clear — but getting there under daily delivery pressure is hard. We fix that balance: automate what should be automated, and keep the TP professional in charge at every step.
Automate what can be automated
Screening, data processing, report generation — these should not consume senior TP time. We build reliable automation around every step that can be systematized.
The professional stays in control
Automation without oversight is a liability. Every AI decision comes with its supporting evidence, an audit trail, and an override. You make the final call — always.
Make it as easy as possible
Onboarding should take days, not months, and the tools should feel intuitive from day one. If it's hard to use, it's not good enough.

Policy
This is placeholder policy text. Replace it with your own legally reviewed content before launch. It should describe how you collect, use, store, and protect data; the legal bases for processing; retention periods; subprocessors; international-transfer safeguards; and how to exercise data-subject rights.
Do not copy another company's policy — have your own drafted and reviewed by counsel.
Operational transfer pricing, monitored year-round.
Stop discovering that a tested party fell out of its arm’s length range eleven months too late. TP Monitor tracks intercompany margins continuously against your benchmarks and flags drift while you can still act on it.
Transfer pricing is set once and forgotten — until it isn’t.
Policies are documented at year-end, but prices are lived every day. By the time the numbers are reviewed, the year is closed and the only fix left is a painful true-up or a defence under audit.
Found out too late
Margin drift surfaces at year-end close, when adjustments are large, disruptive, and hard to explain.
No single view
Entity margins live in scattered spreadsheets, so no one sees the whole group’s TP position at once.
Year-end true-up risk
Big catch-up adjustments draw questions, strain cash, and can trigger withholding and customs issues.
Set the policy once, then let it watch itself.
Load your policy
Enter each tested party’s target margin or arm’s length range — or pull it straight from a Tessera benchmark.
Connect the actuals
Feed monthly or quarterly figures from your ERP or a simple upload; TP Monitor computes the live PLI per entity.
Watch & get alerted
A dashboard shows every entity against its range, and alerts fire the moment one drifts toward the edge.
Act & log it
Model a corrective adjustment, record the rationale, and keep an audit trail of every decision through the year.
One live view of the group’s transfer pricing.
Range & target tracking
Every tested party monitored against its interquartile range or target margin, updated as actuals arrive.
Drift alerts
Threshold-based alerts by email or dashboard when an entity approaches or breaches its range.
True-up modelling
Estimate the adjustment needed to land inside the range — before the year closes, not after.
Group dashboard
A single heat-map of on-target, drifting and out-of-range entities across every jurisdiction.
Audit trail
Every threshold, alert, and corrective decision is logged — the year-round evidence an authority expects.
Benchmark-linked
Ranges flow straight from your Tessera AI Benchmarks, so monitoring always reflects the latest study.

Transfer pricing calculators.
Ten practitioner calculators for the numbers you run every day — arm's length ranges, profit level indicators, method pricing, working-capital and interest adjustments, profit splits, and documentation thresholds.
Global transfer pricing news, in one place.
OECD developments, Pillar Two and Amount B, country rule changes, landmark cases, and consultation deadlines — aggregated so your team tracks what matters without ten open tabs.
How to turn on the live feed
The News Center UI is ready. To populate it with real, continuously updated headlines, wire one of these behind it:
Collect RSS/Atom feeds from OECD, tax authorities, and firm blogs. A scheduled serverless job (e.g. daily cron) parses them and writes titles, links, dates, and a one-line summary to your database.
Use a licensed news API (NewsAPI, GDELT, Bing News) filtered to "transfer pricing / OECD / Pillar Two". Cache results server-side; the page reads your cache, not the API directly.
Have an analyst post 3–5 items a week with original summaries. Highest quality and zero copyright risk, since you write the words and link out for the source.
Respect each source's terms and robots.txt, store only headline + link + your own summary (not full article text), and always attribute and link to the original.
Why we exist.
Transfer pricing is one of the largest, most contested areas of global tax — and still one of the most manual. We think the arm's length principle deserves better tools.
Our mission
To help transfer pricing teams get the work done — benchmarking and documentation that is faster to produce, consistent across engagements, and defensible in front of any tax authority. We automate the mechanical work so professionals can spend their judgment where it counts: on whether prices are actually arm's length.
Our vision
A world where every intercompany price has a clear, evidence-backed rationale on file the moment it's set — not reconstructed years later under audit. One consistent source of truth for global transfer pricing, where AI does the heavy lifting and the practitioner always makes the final call.
The principles behind the product.
Automation without oversight is a liability in tax. Every AI decision ships with its supporting evidence, an audit trail, and an override. The tool proposes; a human disposes.
Fast is only useful if it survives review. We optimize for consistent decision logic and complete evidence capture, so speed never costs you the audit.
We don't force a rigid workflow onto experienced teams. Keep your methods, templates, and review standards — we add structure and AI around them.
Transfer pricing is inherently cross-border. We build for multiple jurisdictions, languages, and documentation standards from the start — not as an afterthought.
EU hosting, encryption, no training on client data, and same-day support. In a field built on confidentiality, security is a feature, not a footnote.
Build global transfer pricing on a single source of truth.

About
Pankaj Shah is a global transfer pricing professional and a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), UK. A member of the ACCA (UK) with an MBA in Finance and training in Harvard Business Analytics, he founded Tessera to close the gap between how transfer pricing should be done and how the pressure of day-to-day delivery forces it to be done — bringing automation and structure to benchmarking and documentation while keeping the practitioner in control of every conclusion.
[Add 2–3 sentences on career background: firms worked at, in-house vs advisory, industries served, and what drew you to transfer pricing specifically.]
Expertise
His work spans the core of cross-border transfer pricing: designing and defending intercompany pricing policies, preparing benchmarking studies and OECD-standard documentation (Master File, Local File, and Country-by-Country Reporting), and advising groups on the arm's length treatment of goods, services, intangibles, and intra-group financing across multiple jurisdictions.
[List the specific areas, sectors, and jurisdictions you want to lead with — e.g. UAE corporate tax TP, UK/HMRC, India, GCC, manufacturing, tech/IP.]
Why he built Tessera
Having seen the same problems repeat across engagements — benchmarks rebuilt from scratch every year, documentation trapped in copy-paste marathons, and audit stories reconstructed long after the fact — Pankaj set out to build the platform he wished he'd had: consistent decision logic, complete evidence capture, and one defensible source of truth for global transfer pricing. The conviction behind Tessera is simple: automate what should be automated, and never take the final judgment away from the professional.
