International Business Solutions

Doing business globally is no longer the exception, but the rule, as an increasing number of companies are expanding their operations around the world.  Whether you have locations or operations abroad or are doing business internationally, we have the resources to meet your needs.

Global Resources
We have access to a network of international public accounting firms through our affiliation with PKF International.  This affiliation gives us the ability to service companies with transnational needs, develop personal relationships with peers around the world and stay attuned to the international business climate.  PKF International currently has 230 firms in more than 440 locations in 120 countries.  PKFI's network is equivalent to the 10th largest firm in the world.

IFRS
Many SEC-registered companies and larger, privately held companies are starting to educate themselves on the inevitable conversion to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). We are collaborating closely with our affiliates in assisting our clients with IFRS education, training and conversion services. Auditors of SEC-registered clients will be conflicted out of these types of services since they will be required to audit the information in the future.  We can assist you with the conversion process, while coordinating with your independent auditors at every step of the way.

International Tax Solutions
Complex tax legislation and strict control by taxing authorities make it necessary for you to align yourself with an advisor that can provide international tax planning and compliance services.  Our tax team provides advanced tax planning and minimization strategies for businesses operating around the world including specific services such as transfer pricing, IC Disc and the foreign tax credit computations.
