Firm overview

Quantera Global is a leading independent advisory firm exclusively dedicated to transfer pricing. As one of the world’s largest specialized boutiques in this niche, the firm combines deep technical expertise with a clear philosophy rooted in independence, collaboration, and client-centric customisation. Quantera focuses solely on providing end-to-end transfer pricing support — from strategic design and economic analysis to documentation, implementation, dispute resolution, and APA/MAP negotiations- free from external shareholders and uninfluenced by audit or general tax services.

A key differentiator is Coperitas, Quantera’s proprietary transfer pricing software platform. Cloud-based and purpose-built, Coperitas automates and streamlines the entire TP process, from data analysis to compliance reporting. This unique integration of technical advice with in-house technology gives Quantera a distinct competitive edge.

Internally, Quantera fosters a culture devoid of billable hour targets, operating with a single firm-wide P&L. This structure promotes genuine collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and collective ownership of client success. Under the motto “Formed in Freedom,” Quantera has developed a global network of offices and alliance partners, offering multinational clients a true one-stop-shop for cross-border TP matters.

In a rapidly evolving landscape shaped by OECD reforms, EU harmonisation efforts, and rising compliance demands, Quantera offers clarity, agility, and tailored solutions. Compared to the Big Four, whose services may be standardised and bound by internal constraints, Quantera positions itself as a focused, accessible alternative, with the international reach and technological capabilities to rival larger firms. Through initiatives like the QG Network and Academy, Quantera also serves as a thought leader, advancing education and best practices in the Transfer Pricing field.

In essence, Quantera Global is not merely a consultancy but a strategic partner, redefining transfer pricing through expert knowledge, digital innovation, and a strong commitment to delivering pragmatic, value-driven solutions.
