Client Wins & Success Stories

Real-world results for founders, small businesses, and NRI/expat clients navigating IRS compliance, entity formation, and international reporting.

Tech Startup

Wyoming LLC Formation for an International Founder

The Challenge

An international founder needed a US entity for Stripe access and VC fundraising, but was overwhelmed by tax-treaty analysis and Effectively Connected Income (ECI) risk.

Our Solution

Structured a Wyoming single-member LLC with a focused tax-treaty analysis, full EIN registration, operating agreement, and a non-resident compliance roadmap.

The Result

100% Tax Compliant

US entity active in 7 days, zero US tax liability on non-US-source income.

Foreign Assets

NRI Audit Resolution — $850K in Foreign Accounts

The Challenge

An NRI client received an IRS notice regarding undisclosed inherited property and foreign bank accounts totaling ~$850K, facing significant potential penalties.

Our Solution

Initiated a Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedure, documented the non-willful nature of the omission, and reconciled several years of back-filings.

The Result

$0 Penalties Paid

FBAR/FATCA penalty exposure fully resolved through proper representation.

Main Street Business

S-Corp Tax Optimization for a Consulting Firm

The Challenge

A consulting business operating as a sole proprietorship was losing significant income to self-employment tax with no long-term tax plan in place.

Our Solution

Executed a late S-Corp election, implemented a reasonable-compensation strategy, and optimized QBI deductions across a multi-year plan.

The Result

Meaningful Annual Savings

Immediate reduction in payroll taxes with a clear multi-year tax plan in place.
