How Helen is building a better working world

“Increasing scrutiny of transactions by tax authorities aided by digitalization has made tax compliance more challenging for companies. This is further complicated by global tax reforms that could greatly change how they are taxed.

I work closely with companies to address the impact of changes in tax regulations in a timely manner locally and overseas, which helps them achieve tax efficiency and avoid penalties from noncompliance. By liaising with government agencies to address sector-specific tax issues on behalf of companies, I also help them free up in-house tax teams to focus on creating business value.”
