  How we can help:

• We provide U.S. tax advice on a wide variety of cross-border transactions.
   
• Our advice is often sought when clients are in the process of creating, acquiring, or reorganizing U.S. and foreign entities, or when individuals are moving into or out of the U.S.
   
• We have extensive experience in restructuring U.S. and foreign legal entities. It is often possible to restructure in a manner that qualifies the transactions as non-taxable under the U.S. tax code.
   
• Businesses and individuals can minimize their worldwide effective tax rate using a variety of techniques. Some of these techniques include maximizing foreign tax credits, excluding certain foreign income, and deferring U.S. taxation to a future year.
   
• Cross-border tax rules are like a minefield with many traps for the unwary. Tax savings are maximized by contacting us well in advance of any contemplated transactions. 

Testimonials:

“I found myself needing expert international tax advice and I am very happy I found Andrew Mitchel. Andrew has a wealth of knowledge in international tax laws on issues that my accounting firm was not intimately familiar with. Having my CPA work with Andrew has saved me and my business thousands of dollars in potential IRS penalties. I would highly recommend you get on the phone with Andrew for a consultation and avoid yourself having to deal with IRS penalties and headaches for not properly filing the appropriate tax forms.”

“I feel fortunate to have been introduced to Andrew. My international and domestic tax structuring needs are/were very complex given my long-term expatriate living arrangements, my multi-jurisdictional investment structures and numerous state and federal issues that I needed to address. Andrew has become a valued and trusted advisor on whom I rely without reservation. I certainly intend to collaborate with him for the coming decades, and would be happy to (continue to) refer friends, family and colleagues to him.”

As a sole practitioner CPA, it is often difficult to find answers to complicated tax issues, especially in the area of foreign taxation. When one of my clients introduced me to Andrew Mitchel, I knew he would be a key resource for foreign tax issues arising in my practice. Since then, Andrew has provided excellent technical assistance when helping me analyze my client's foreign tax issues and has been a pleasure to deal with - I highly recommend him.
