Taking an ambitious Kiwi business onto the global stage—or bringing international operations to New Zealand shores—is an exciting milestone. While stepping into new markets brings incredible growth potential, setting up the right commercial and tax structure early on is what ensures long-term success.
In this double-feature spotlight, RSM New Zealand leadership—Group Chair Lyle Irwin and Managing Partner & Head of Tax Lisa Murphy—share practical perspectives on how growing businesses can navigate cross-border strategy with complete peace of mind.
1. Expanding across borders with the right support
Establishing the correct strategic structure early on is essential when expanding outward from New Zealand or setting up local operations. From managing cross-border tax considerations to key corporate decisions like due diligence and restructuring, having an experienced advisory team behind you makes all the difference.
When your international tax strategy aligns with your daily business operations, navigating global complexities becomes straightforward—giving you the freedom to scale smoothly across borders.
In this video message, Group Chair Lyle Irwin discusses how a personal, partner-led approach helps ambitious SMEs feel right at home in the global market.

2. Unlocking opportunities across borders
As business operations span multiple countries, aligning your intercompany strategy becomes one of the most effective ways to put in place practical tax strategies and structures that support the business for the long term. Transparent and robust transfer pricing frameworks give leadership clarity across every stage of growth.
Tailored transfer pricing is about creating clear, practical structures that support your commercial goals. Whether managing intercompany services, licensing intellectual property, or funding overseas subsidiaries, having a clear framework ensures your international tax strategy reflects how your business actually operates day to day.
In this video message, Lisa Murphy shares how tailored transfer pricing frameworks give growing organisations complete operational confidence.
