Jake has been assisting clients to identify, understand and manage various international tax issues for over 15 years, including holding senior management roles in the Australian network firms of PwC, BDO and Baker Tilly International. After repatriating from Australia back to the US in 2016, Jake started his own firm, Optima Geo Business Advisors, where he advises clients on cross-border business tax issues, with a particular emphasis on transfer pricing matters. Jake commenced his professional accounting career in 2005 after obtaining his bachelor’s degree in accounting from Western Australia’s Curtin University. Jake went on to earn his master’s degree in international trade from Curtin University and qualify as an Australian Certified Practicing Accountant (‘CPA’ in Australia) in 2008, and later received his US CPA (AICPA) license from the State of Montana in 2017. Jake previously represented the State of Western Australia on CPA Australia’s Tax Center of Excellence committee from 2010 to 2014 and has had his work published in Thomson Reuters’ Asia Tax and Trade Bulletin. When he is not immersed in contemplating international tax and transfer pricing issues or the global political economy, Jake enjoys camping, fishing, rafting and watching football in his spare time
