Specialists in cross-border tax and estate planning

"Perfect" always provides big gains. You have more money. Not only do you pay less tax, but also the tax planning does not restrict your business plans.  Saving taxes and not restricting your business require something out of the ordinary; something provocative.

Our clients do not worry about the IRS.  All of our tax planning is pre-approved by the IRS (this is known as a "private letter ruling").  Provocative and legal tax planning helps you and the economy create wealth.

International Tax Counselors is not a conventional company, and we don’t intend to become one. While, we share attributes with the world’s most successful organizations – a focus on innovation and smart business practices, we provide our clients with individual attention.  America's complex tax code requires innovative and sophisticated strategies for the cross border families and international businesses. We are passionate about using the best technologies to create your tax plan.

Every family and every business has their unique needs. Tax planning must do more than reduce taxes. The tax plan must allow the family personal relations to function. Similarly for business, the tax plan must allow the business to continue to maximize profits.

We focus on helping other CPAs and attorneys provide sophisticated international tax guidance for their clients.  We are here to reduce your stress in paying the lowest legal tax.  

Only International Tax Counselors obtains IRS agreements for their client’s tax planning.   You never worry about a tax audit. Once the agreement is signed, the IRS cannot change their mind.

Our tax planning is aggressive, within the bounds of the law, providing the maximum amount of tax savings.
