I rebuilt the transfer pricing workflow into a canvas a tax team can actually think in.
How it was built, and why
Arkk covers the intercompany cost allocation cycle for corporate tax and finance teams, from entity hierarchy to benchmarking to posted journals. I rebuilt the workflow canvas as a real pan-and-zoom workspace and reorganised the cost matrix and hierarchy around how the work actually flows.
The flow
A close run moves through a fixed spine: pull feeds, check data quality, map entities, run the calculation, then post journals.
A template gallery seeds the whole graph in one click, so a user starts from a working quarter-close instead of a blank canvas.
What it is
A transfer pricing platform: workflow canvas, region-grouped cost matrix, drag-to-reparent entity hierarchy, live benchmarking, data sources, reports and runs.
Workflow canvas with a six-template gallery and 50-step undo and redo
Cost matrix in region-grouped tabs with click-to-edit rules
Entity hierarchy with drag reparenting and a keyboard fallback
How it works
I treated the canvas as the product's centre of gravity. Nodes carry a unified icon-tile treatment with integrated port nubs, and every add, move, connect and delete lands on one undo history capped at fifty entries and bound to the usual shortcuts.
The cost matrix shares a single entity-group treatment across tabs so the same mental model holds from European allocations to Asia Pacific, with option-drag to copy a rule across cells.
Why it matters
Tax teams were living in brittle spreadsheets and disconnected tools. Making the flow visible and reversible lets someone model an arm's-length adjustment against a margin slider and see the effect before it commits, which is the difference between guessing and deciding.
