PYA, a national CPA, tax services and consulting firm, launched its new international tax service line. The service line will be led by Joe Engel, who joins PYA as tax principal. Engel was previously with The Coca-Cola Company, where he was senior tax counsel.
“PYA is known for its ability to nimbly respond to our clients’ needs — and in today’s fast-paced global economy, clients are increasingly in search of experienced and reliable consultants who can help them manage complex cross-border business operations,” Marty Brown, president and CEO of PYA, said. “That’s why we’re excited to announce our new service line, which will provide future and existing clients the expert guidance they need to successfully navigate their most pressing international tax matters.”
Engel, who leads the new service line, has more than 25 years of experience and technical expertise, with a focus on international tax strategies. Engel has guided major multinational companies in planning, designing and executing effective tax strategies, complying with international laws and managing controversies. His experience includes cross-border tax planning, mergers and acquisitions structuring, incentive negotiations, tax audit defense, legislative tax monitoring and tax rate management.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Joe to PYA,” Brown said. “His extensive knowledge of the international tax landscape — alongside his decades of experience in strategy, tax planning, compliance and law — lays a strong foundation for our International Tax service line. Joe is a productive leader and communicator with a proven record in helping clients achieve their business goals.”
