Stransact Chartered Accountants, a leading Nigerian firm renowned for its expertise in audit, tax, and advisory services, has been honored as a Tier-1 provider in the categories of General Corporate Tax, Transactional Tax, and Transfer Pricing, according to the most recent World Tax rankings.
As part of RSM International-one of the globe’s largest accounting networks boasting over 64,000 professionals across 120 countries-Stransact leverages a vast pool of global knowledge and resources to enhance its service delivery.
In the General Corporate Tax category, Stransact shares the prestigious Tier-1 ranking with distinguished firms such as AELEX, Andersen, Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PwC.
In the sphere of Transactional Tax, Stransact is recognized alongside other Tier-1 firms such as Banwo & Ighodalo and G Elias & Co, underscoring its expertise in this specialized domain.
When it comes to Transfer Pricing, Stransact stands among elite companies including Andersen, EY, KPMG, and PwC, reflecting its strong proficiency in this complex area of tax practice.
Moreover, World Tax’s evaluation highlights AELEX, Banwo & Ighodalo, G Elias & Co, and Templars as Tier-1 leaders in Tax Controversy services, showcasing the competitive landscape in this field.
World Tax’s rankings are the result of meticulous independent research by its analysts, who prioritize qualitative criteria over mere transaction volume. The assessment focuses on the intricacy of cases managed and the innovative legal strategies employed by firms, rather than the quantity of deals completed.
Unlike broader tax publications, World Tax dedicates its coverage exclusively to tax-related matters, enabling it to provide comprehensive and nuanced insights tailored specifically to this sector.
Reflecting on the recognition, Eben Joels, Managing Partner at Stransact, remarked, “This accolade from World Tax validates our unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and integrity in tax advisory services. It highlights the trust our clients place in our ability to navigate complex regulatory environments and deliver practical, impactful solutions. Our affiliation with RSM International empowers us to blend global best practices with a deep understanding of the Nigerian market.”
Victor Athe, Partner and Head of Tax at Stransact, added, “Achieving Tier-1 status across multiple tax disciplines demonstrates the versatility and depth of our tax team. We are dedicated to addressing complex tax challenges-from transactional structuring and advisory to transfer pricing and compliance. This recognition not only affirms our quality but also inspires us to continuously raise the bar within Nigeria’s tax profession.”
Joels further emphasized Stransact’s mission to empower businesses through expert counsel, fostering growth and resolving intricate financial issues. “By prioritizing a client-focused approach, we enable seamless cross-border partnerships and innovative solutions for RSM’s clients. Our objective is to support enterprises with a growth mindset and promote sustainable development within Nigeria,” he explained.
He also highlighted the firm’s ongoing efforts to expand its service offerings by integrating RSM’s international expertise with profound local insights to better serve its clientele.
