Accountants for foreign clients in the US

Foreign clients in the United States raise questions that a domestic practice may not see often: an owner without an SSN, a company whose parent sits abroad, filings such as Form 5472, an EIN applied for from overseas and a home-country tax position that has to be coordinated. The FinCEN page on beneficial ownership states that US companies are exempt from BOI reporting, while companies formed under foreign law and registered to do business in a US state remain in scope, so structure matters here too.

A firm appears on this page when its profile names foreign clients as a client group. Look beyond the label. Ask which nationalities it has served, which states it files in, whether it handles Form 5472 and the EIN process for non-residents, how it communicates across time zones and whether it publishes prices. The US country guide explains the structures.

145 firms qualify, a large group for this country: 121 accounting firms and 21 corporate services providers and 3 law firms. By size, 111 are small practices, 23 medium and 11 large networks. After English (107 firms), Spanish is the most common language (40), then Portuguese (10) and French (9). Real estate, e-commerce, construction and non-profits are the sectors named most. High-net-worth individuals and foreign investors appear among the client groups. The firms are spread across Miami, New York, Houston, Dallas and Las Vegas, and one free quote request covers them all.

Frequently asked questions

What should a firm know about foreign owners?

How to obtain an EIN without an SSN, how Form 5472 works for foreign-owned entities, how state filings apply, and how to coordinate with your home tax position. Ask a firm for examples of similar clients without names.

Do I need a firm in the same state as my company?

Not necessarily. Many firms serve several states, but they must file in yours and in any state where you operate. Ask for the list of states in writing.

How do I start the search?

Weigh up profiles by language, entity types, services and published prices, then submit a single request via Accountanty. Accountanty reviews the request and passes it to firms that fit, which saves you writing to each in turn.
