Knoxville, Tenn.-based IPA 100 firm PYA (FY23 net revenue of $69.7 million) announced its new international tax service line. A key element of the firm’s growth strategy, the service line will be led by Joe Engel, who joins the firm 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,” said PYA president and CEO Marty Brown. “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 has more than 25 years of experience and technical expertise, with a focus on international tax strategies. 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.”
