The MRO Americas conference, held April 8-10, 2025, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, was a key event for the aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul industry. At WTP Advisors, we Brian Schwam and Jim Fyrie were excited to attend this premier gathering, connecting with industry leaders and sharing our expertise in Transfer Pricing and IC-DISC. One of our most engaging interactions was with Christian Dery, President of DCA Global Aviation, whose business card we collected during the conference.
DCA Global Aviation, based in Deerfield Beach, FL, specializes in aviation parts distribution and global logistics, serving the aviation community with innovative solutions. Meeting Christian Dery at MRO Americas offered a valuable opportunity to explore how WTP Advisors could support their international operations. Jim Fyrie initiated our conversation, introducing our Transfer Pricing services, which help companies like DCA Global Aviation manage their intercompany transactions across global markets with precision and compliance.
Christian shared that DCA Global Aviation frequently engages in global distribution, supplying parts to clients worldwide, which makes financial compliance a critical focus. Brian Schwam explained how our Transfer Pricing strategies ensure that cross-border transactions are priced appropriately, aligning with global tax regulations while optimizing profitability. For a company like DCA Global Aviation, which likely deals with international suppliers and clients, Transfer Pricing can streamline operations and reduce risks. Christian appreciated the relevance of Transfer Pricing to their business, noting that their global operations had increased the complexity of their financial strategies.
Our discussion then shifted to tax optimization, where WTP Advisors’ IC-DISC services proved highly relevant. Jim Fyrie highlighted how an IC-DISC (Interest Charge-Domestic International Sales Corporation) can help DCA Global Aviation lower their tax liability on export income. With their business model centered on exporting aviation parts globally, an IC-DISC could provide significant tax savings, enabling them to reinvest in their operations or expand their market reach. Christian was intrigued, recognizing the potential of IC-DISC to support their export-focused strategy.
At MRO Americas, we also explored the aviation industry’s logistics challenges, a topic Christian was passionate about. DCA Global Aviation’s role in providing reliable parts distribution underscored the importance of financial efficiency. Brian Schwam emphasized how Transfer Pricing could support their supply chain by ensuring compliance and aligning pricing strategies with business goals. Christian noted that maintaining cost efficiency while scaling globally was a priority, and our insights offered a clear path forward.
The Atlanta conference provided the perfect platform for this exchange, fostering connections that could lead to impactful collaborations. We discussed DCA Global Aviation’s vision for future growth, including their focus on expanding their global presence in the aviation sector. Christian’s goals aligned well with WTP Advisors’ mission to empower aviation businesses through financial clarity, and we left the conversation excited about the potential to collaborate.
