Doing business on a global scale brings added complications when it comes to taxes, financial reporting, compliance, business services and much more. We provide a full suite of international tax services to clients from all around the world, allowing them to focus on running their growing business while we establish their business in the United States.
We understand that navigating the United States tax code can be a daunting task, especially if you are not a native English speaker.

These services include accounting services, assist in legal compliance services through International Tax Attorneys, business structuring & formation, due diligence and much more.
When planning to expand to the United States, the first two things that an international company needs to do are set up are a business address and create an entity structure.
Finding a location for your business can be difficult, especially if you’re not physically in America. However, an official business address is a must if you plan to do business in the States. Depending on our client’s needs, we can help to secure a registered business address, whether it be a basic registered mailbox or a 4000 square foot office space.
We also assist our clients with incorporating businesses in the United States. We first identify the most optimal entity structure for their business, for example, an LLC or Corporation or Branch Office. Once we’ve identified the best entity structure for our client’s business, we then assist all of the paperwork to ensure the business is properly incorporated.

We also work as an international tax consultant to international clients once they’ve already made their investments. In these scenarios, we perform a full audit of the current business setup, and then restructure and resolve any compliance issues.
We also counsel our clients on compliance with foreign bank account reporting on FinCEN Form 114a and disclosing foreign assets on IRS Form 8938. These forms are required to be in compliance with the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA).
