? Doesn't rhyme
Expertise as a noun is pronounced (ti:iz) but as the verb to expertise is pronounced (tAIZ) which rhymes with twice pronounced (twAIS) according to the Collins English Dictionary.

By the way the word "expertise" doesn't exist in my American Webster's New International Dictionary neither as a noun nor as a verb.

PS. As a matter of interest I found this in Google:

"Painfulenglish
From pain comes knowledge
How to pronounce expertise


During a recent talk I heard someone (a nonnative speaker) pronounce the noun expertise in a way I had not heard before, namely as [ˌekspɜːˈtaiz], similar perhaps to exercise (listen here). While at first I thought this was simply a pronunciation mistake, it turns out that the verb to expertise (yes, there is a verb, and it means “to study or investigate as an expert”, see here) is in fact pronounced [ˌekspɜːˈtaiz]."
