Tax Preparation for Travelers
Travel Nurses, Allied Health, Locums, Engineers and other traveling professionals have unique situations. We consult, and prepare your taxes, via phone and internet. Go to our Traveler page for Workbooks, FAQs and helpful links.
Canadian-US Cross-Border
We prepare both, US and Canadian returns. Whether emigrating, working temporarily, or just thinking about it, we can guide you through the maze without tears.
Ex-Pats and International Tax
US citizens must file regardless of residence and report financial assets. Assigned temporarily, permanently, a missionary, or working with a charity? We can help.
Small Business and "normal" You don't need to be a traveler or an ex-pat. Have a business, small corporation, rental, non-profit, or just a regular Joe? It is not out of our expertise. We still welcome you.
Audit Representation
We defend any return we prepare for free. Under audit and not a client? Need to resolve a tax problem? Give us a call to discuss your situation.
Staffing Agencies
Per Diem Reimbursement Policy compliance is important. We strengthen your documentation, work-flow, and train your staff. We work with you via internet, video-conference, or in person.
