Your side of the table
in Argentina.

Arriving in a new market means relying on people you have only just met. Prices, contract terms and local practices can be hard to read from the outside, and newcomers rarely have the context to tell a fair quote from an inflated one, or a standard practice from an unusual one.

Alamera Partners closes that information gap. You get a senior point of contact who sits on your side of the table, works to North American professional and ethical standards, and knows how things are actually done locally.

Much of the guidance newcomers receive comes from people without a professional designation or senior executive experience. Alamera Partners offers something different: a credentialed, senior professional who holds the work to the standards expected of a Chartered Professional Accountant, backed by real executive experience.

• An independent second opinion on every quote, contract and counterparty
• A clear view of whether a price, practice or proposal is in line with the market
• Introductions to professionals and suppliers we would trust with our own projects
• One accountable contact who answers to you, not to the other side

Alamera Partners is led by a Canadian CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant) with 20 years in tax, including Big Four experience in U.S. and cross border tax.

Most of that career was spent in senior leadership roles directing reviews of complex corporate and individual tax files, transfer pricing and large international businesses. That meant leading teams of tax and international specialists, setting audit and compliance programs, managing multimillion dollar budgets and working directly with companies and their advisers to resolve difficult technical issues.

The principal also brings more than a decade of board and governance experience at the national and provincial levels of a large charitable organization, including serving as provincial board chair and on national CEO search and finance committees, with further committee service spanning business strategy, audit, investment and human resources. That service has been recognized with a national honour. Alongside this, the principal has 15 years of service in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserve, including roles requiring a high level security clearance.

The principal has also lived and operated in Argentina for the past two years. That includes hands on experience with the country's multiple dollar markets, such as the official and MEP rates, moving capital in and out of Argentina through formal channels, and working directly with contractors, architects, engineers and developers on real estate development and natural resources projects.

Few professionals combine Canadian and U.S. tax and business background with that kind of on the ground experience in Argentina. The combination is rare to find in one person, and it shapes how we look at structure, cash flows and risk when a business or investor enters Argentina. You deal directly with the principal throughout. Specialist and regulated work is brought in from independent licensed professionals as needed.
