Across borders

The same job has a different name in each country.

Useful if your business spans more than one of these systems, or you know the term in one and need its counterpart in another.

How work is structured

Four ways an engagement usually looks.

Most clients combine more than one. Whatever the mix, you receive a written scope and fee before work begins.

  1. 01

    One-off registrations

    Forming a company, obtaining an EIN, ITIN, NTN or TRN, registering for VAT or sales tax. A defined piece of work with a clear finish.

    e.g. US LLC formation, UAE VAT registration

  2. 02

    Annual compliance

    The returns and statements that come round every year, prepared from your records and filed on time with your approval.

    e.g. Form 1120 and 5472, CT600, UAE Corporate Tax

  3. 03

    Monthly and quarterly work

    Bookkeeping, reconciliations and periodic returns such as VAT or sales tax, on a fixed schedule so nothing builds up.

    e.g. VAT returns, Pakistan sales tax

  4. 04

    Clean-up and advice

    Catch-up bookkeeping, late filings put right, and structured advice on entity choice or cross-border questions.

    e.g. catch-up books, structure reviews

Our approach

Obligations first. Optimisation second.

Every engagement starts with a list of what your business is actually required to register and file, in each country it touches. Planning comes after the basics are secure.

How it works

What happens after you get in touch.

Five steps, the same for a single EIN application as for a year of bookkeeping across four countries.

Start with a conversation

  1. A first conversation

    By video or phone. We ask where the business is registered, where it trades, what’s already been filed and what’s worrying you. You don’t need to prepare anything formal.

    Usually 30 minutes

  2. A written scope and quote

    We set out exactly what we’ll handle, what we’ll need from you, the timeline and the fee, in an engagement letter. Nothing starts until you’ve agreed it.

    Engagement letter

  3. Secure document collection

    You get a checklist specific to your filings, not a generic list, and upload documents through a secure portal rather than email or messaging apps.

    Checklist + secure upload

  4. Preparation and review

    One person prepares the work and a second reviews it before anything reaches you. Questions come to you in one batch, not a drip of emails.

    Prepared, then reviewed

  5. Your approval, then filing

    You see what will be submitted and approve it. We file, send you the confirmation, and add your next obligations to the calendar we keep for you.

    Filed with your sign-off

By country

Start from the system you answer to.

Each country page explains how that system works, the authorities you’ll deal with, key dates and common situations.

Fees

How pricing works.

We don’t publish a price list, because two EIN applications or two sets of accounts can involve very different amounts of work. You get a written quote after a short scoping conversation.

Request a quote

How do your fees work?

Most registrations and annual returns are quoted as a fixed fee once we know the scope; recurring work such as bookkeeping is usually a monthly fee. You’ll always have the quote in writing before anything starts. [Firm to confirm pricing model.]

Is the first conversation charged?

[Firm to confirm whether the initial consultation is free, and its usual length.] Either way, you’ll know before the call.

What’s included in a quote, and what isn’t?

The engagement letter lists the specific registrations, returns or periods we’re handling, the information we need from you, and anything expressly excluded. Government fees, registered agent fees and similar third-party costs are shown separately.

What if my situation turns out to be more complicated than expected?

We tell you as soon as we find it, explain why, and quote for the additional work before doing it. You’re never billed for scope you didn’t agree to.

Speak with a consultant

Not sure which of these you need? That’s what the first conversation is for.

Pick the closest match and we’ll take it from there. You’ll get a written scope and fee before any work begins.
