Summary

Currently, I work as a Tax Consultant at PwC Uzbekistan, advising international and domestic clients on complex tax issues, including corporate restructurings, property and land taxation, and high-value tax litigation. My experience includes drafting full-scope tax memoranda, assisting in legal due diligence for M&A transactions, and representing clients during audits and disputes involving major taxpayers.

I led projects involving branding, trademark adaptation, and packaging design for major food industry clients such as Evos, Oqtepa Lavash,Fish and Bread and etc. I also held a role in corporate lending, gaining experience in financial analysis and credit risk assessment.
