The cross-border tax firm for foreign-owned U.S. business.
Form 5472. CFCs and 5471. FIRPTA. Offshore catch-up. The filings where a single miss costs five or six figures — handled by a CPA who does this all day, for one fixed fee. Based in Houston; serving foreign-owned companies and their owners in all 50 states.
What makes a file safe with us
- The penalty forms are the whole job — 5472, 5471, 1120-F, FBAR — not an afterthought bolted onto a 1040.
- Bookkeeping is produced in-house, so the numbers feeding your international filings are ones we stand behind.
- Fixed fees, quoted in writing before work starts. No surprise hourly bills.
- Spanish and Portuguese spoken — your foreign parent or family can follow along.

Foreign-Owned U.S. Companies
A foreign parent with a U.S. C-corp or LLC: 5472, treaty PE, transfer-pricing method, bookkeeping, state filings.
How it works →U.S. Owners of Foreign Companies
You own a CFC: Form 5471, NCTI/GILTI, Subpart F, §962, FBAR — fixed annual fee, no five-figure surprises.
How it works →FIRPTA for Foreign Sellers
Cut the 15% withholding to your real tax with Form 8288-B — ITIN in-house via our CAA status.
How it works →Foreign Landlords
Own a U.S. rental as a nonresident: the §871(d) election, W-8ECI, and 1040-NR so you’re taxed on net profit — not 30% of gross rent.
How it works →IRS Offshore Disclosure
Unfiled FBARs, foreign income, or 5471s? The streamlined programs are open — most pay little or no penalty.
Find your path →International E-commerce
Cross-border sellers: multi-state sales-tax nexus, inventory, and the books your platform won't give you.
How it works →Global SaaS & Startups
Foreign subs, IP, §174 R&E, NCTI/FDDEI — investor-grade structure before your priced round.
How it works →Fractional CFO
Once compliance is handled: parent-ready reporting, cash-flow forecasting, and a financial leader on call — at the level you need.
