Mistakes can be costly!!
I have assisted a large number of individuals in both preparation and review of tax returns and have received high ratings from clients. In most instances, I can save real tax dollars by considering special filing positions, elections, treaties and properly completing tax forms.

US tax can be complex for all filers, but can be particularly complicated for those living and working away from their home country. I have worked with such individuals and their employers for over a decade to ensure appropriate tax planning, consideration of elections and treaty positions, and proper completion of tax forms.

US Expatriates:
The foreign earned income exclusion and foreign tax credits can drastically reduce the amount of tax paid by US citizens and residents living abroad. However, the tax rules governing the use of these forms can be very difficult to understand. I have over ten years of experience in assisting individuals with tax planning and preparation to minimize their tax liabilities by properly calculating taxable income including the foreign earned income exclusion and foreign tax credit.

Foreign Nationals in the US:
There are a myriad of elections and treaty positions available to foreign nationals living in the US, particularly in the year of arrival. In many instances, properly making these elections may drastically reduce an individual's tax liability. I have worked with these rules for over a decade and will help individuals apply these rules to their specific circumstances.

I have nearly ten years experience in the "Big Five" with tax planning, preparation and consulting for individuals and their employers. During this time I worked extensively on tax issues for both US citizens living abroad and foreign nationals living in the US.

I am a Certified Public Accountant, a member of the Virginia Society of CPA's and the American Institute of CPA's. I graduated from the University of MS School of Accountancy.

I look forward to working with you.
