The MRO Americas 2025 conference at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, once again delivered on its promise of fostering high-impact conversations across the aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) industry. Among the standout interactions was a meeting between Greg Szatko, Sales Director US/Canada (A-I Accounts) at Aviation Maintenance Magazine, and Jim Fyrie of WTP Advisors.
Elevating Financial Strategy in Aviation Media
Aviation Maintenance Magazine, a trusted industry publication accessible at avm-mag.com, plays a critical role in delivering timely insights to MRO professionals worldwide. In a candid exchange at the event, Jim Fyrie shared how WTP Advisors’ Transfer Pricing and IC-DISC services can be game changers for media companies with international reach—especially those like Aviation Maintenance Magazine that export digital content and subscriptions.
The Power of Transfer Pricing for Global Media Brands
Jim explained how Transfer Pricing is essential for international firms to ensure tax compliance and profit allocation across borders. By establishing arm’s-length pricing for intercompany transactions, WTP Advisors helps companies reduce audit risk, optimize cash flow, and maintain regulatory compliance.
Greg Szatko was particularly engaged by the idea of using Transfer Pricing to support the magazine’s expanding print and digital footprint. As their audience and advertiser base continue to grow globally, structuring these transactions correctly becomes increasingly critical. Jim emphasized how this strategy could free up resources for investment in marketing, editorial development, and distribution channels—an idea that aligned perfectly with the magazine’s goals.
Unleashing IC-DISC Benefits for Exported Content
The conversation also turned to the Interest Charge-Domestic International Sales Corporation (IC-DISC)—a tax incentive designed for U.S. exporters. Though typically associated with tangible goods, IC-DISC is also applicable to digital content and subscription-based exports, making it a perfect fit for Aviation Maintenance Magazine.
Jim outlined how WTP Advisors could set up an IC-DISC structure to defer federal income tax on export income, significantly improving cash flow. This resonated with Greg, who saw a direct connection between increased liquidity and the ability to fund strategic initiatives—like expanded industry coverage, enhanced digital tools, or reader engagement programs.
A Shared Commitment to Industry Excellence
Throughout the discussion, both Greg and Jim emphasized the importance of supporting the MRO ecosystem—whether through authoritative content or financial optimization tools. Aviation Maintenance Magazine remains committed to informing and educating the MRO sector, while WTP Advisors brings cutting-edge tax strategy to the table to empower that mission.
The meeting served as a reminder that even in a technical, regulation-heavy industry like aviation, collaboration and innovation can flourish when expertise meets opportunity.
