Joanne Lesley Padilla

Nicole Frances Marie Dela Cruz
Senior Manager, International Tax

Jo is a licensed CPA with over 10 years of experience in transfer pricing, including foundational years as a Senior Associate at EY. She assists domestic corporations and multinational enterprises (MNEs) in complying with both OECD requirements and Philippine transfer pricing regulations. Her day-to-day work focuses on helping clients document their intercompany transactions properly to satisfy local transfer pricing requirements. 

Beyond transfer pricing, she supports clients with BIR assessments and audits, helping them gather documentation to meet tax compliance requirements. She also assists with global mobility services, helping expatriates in the Philippines manage their local tax compliance obligations. Throughout her career, she has worked with clients across the BPO/IT sector, real estate, conglomerates, and Japanese subsidiaries.

Outside of work, she enjoys a quiet routine to unwind. She is a certified cat mama and an aspiring "plantita," balancing these hobbies with a fondness for watching zombie movies. She also has an interest in art and prefers spending her days off relaxing at home.
