Human Expertise    x    AI Power     for    better TNMM Benchmarks

Our AI-powered tools streamline the benchmarking process, making it faster, more consistent, and more reliable than traditional approaches.
We replace manual, error-prone tasks with AI-enhanced workflows that ensure precision at every step. Our technology allows us to tap into more trustworthy data sources, improve the consistency of peer selection, and automatically validate results through built-in cross-checks. This expanded search capacity leads to better-quality comparables and defensible outcomes.

Every benchmark is performed by senior transfer pricing economists, and tailored to the functional profile of the tested party.
Our process ensures that each deliverable meets the highest standards of accuracy and audit-readiness. All benchmarks comply with OECD and UN guidelines and can be adapted to local tax authority requirements. Our senior TP economists have more than 10 years of experience each.

How we work

Step 1

Kickoff & Functional Analysis

Clarify structure & scope

Step 2

Data Gathering & Peer Screening

Select & reject comparables

Step 3

Arm’s Length Computation

IQR range and ratio outputs

Step 4

Final Report

Delivery & tax authority ready

Fast Turnaround Time

We follow a straightforward process allowing us and our clients to waste no time.

We usually provide an interquartile range for selected comparable companies in 10 working days (from initial call to first results).

We guarantee on-time delivery in a pre-agreed timeframe.

Tailored Benchmarks

Complete, defensible documentation

At the start of your project, we define the most appropriate set of benchmarks based on your specific structure, transaction profile, and jurisdictional context.

We never recycle old searches. All peer company data is retrieved live at the time of engagement, ensuring accuracy and contemporaneity. 

Each study includes:

  • A clear rejection matrix and full profiles for selected and excluded comparables

  • The arm’s length profitability range (interquartile) with methodology notes

  • Screenshots of source websites for full traceability, even years later

In short: we deliver customized and transparent documentation — ready for both internal use and tax authority review.

Q&A

I’m not a transfer pricing practitioner – what are we talking about?

You want to know all the basics, check our guide to comparable company searches!

For which Transfer Pricing methods are these benchmarks needed?
  • Comparable company searches (also called benchmarks) are a specific transfer pricing analysis, aiming at identifying a set of independent companies comparable to the tested party.
  • Transactional methods such as the TNMM (almost) always require to perform a comparable company search. The comparable company search will serve as an external reference point for the net margin of the testing party (usually performing routine functions).
  • For traditional methods, comparable company searches are sometimes required, but less frequently.
What are the differences with benchmarks proposed elsewhere?

  • All benchmarks are prepared by highly experienced transfer pricing economists with over 10 years of expertise in producing audit-ready analyses.

  • Better and faster processes thanks to our algorithms trained to help the realization of comparable company searches. As a result, we propose benchmarks that meet the highest industry standards.

  • We also offer detailed documentation on our search processes and comparable selection, including screenshots for all accepted and rejected companies.
Where are the benchmarks performed? By whom?

Our comparable company searches are performed in France by our transfer pricing experts, assisted by our proprietary software.

How do our algorithms work?
  • Our algorithms extract the relevant information from companies’ websites, analyze it and synthesize it to help our teams during the manual review process. 
  • Our algorithms have been developed by artificial intelligence expert and are, according to our knowledge, unrivalled for transfer pricing analysis. They notably allow us to:
    • Deeply examine websites and ensure no information has been overlooked.
    • Ensure a focus on contemporary information sourced from reliable sources.
    • Examine a broader and better-selected range of potentially comparable companies.
    • Establish connections between websites that humans tend to miss.
    • Ensure more consistent rejection criteria.
    • Prevent human errors.
    • Maintain a more robust audit trail.
    • Challenge the selection of top companies.
    • Save time for more value-added tasks, such as the final selection of comparable companies.
Which database are you using?
  • We are using databases most commonly used by tax authorities such as Bureau Van Dijk databases (Orbis, Diane, etc.) in Europe.
  • For the US CPM, we rely on the SEC data. Please refer to our dedicated page for more information.
