Who We Are

US citizens and green card holders are required to file their tax returns annually. However, many individuals are unaware of this obligation and face hefty penalties for non-compliance. The IRS provides a program to help these taxpayers get back on track. A cross-border tax expert can guide them through the process and ensure compliance.
Both the IRS and CRA require individuals to report financial account information, including bank, brokerage, retirement accounts, and mutual funds. Corporations in both the US and Canada must file a Foreign Bank Account Reporting (FBAR) form. Our cross-border tax specialists will identify your specific needs and ensure full compliance with these reporting requirements.
US and non-US citizens who work, live, or own property in the United States may be subject to estate or gift tax regulations. The tax implications vary based on the individual's residency status or domicile choice, making it crucial to understand the potential tax consequences.
A cross-border tax specialist can assist with complex Canadian and US tax issues that, if mishandled, could lead to significant consequences. Whether it's corporate restructuring, estate planning, or cross-border compliance, our experts provide comprehensive support to navigate these challenges.
Citizens living in or outside Canada, the US, or non-US residents may face compliance challenges, including tax returns, personal or corporate trusts, estate filings, or objections with the CRA. These issues often require careful planning to ensure proper compliance.
