How our US pricing works
You will know the number before we start. Every engagement is scoped first, priced as a fixed fee, and agreed in writing before any work begins.
Two kinds of US engagement, each priced on what the work involves
US fees are annual rather than monthly, because inbound compliance is driven by annual filings rather than a monthly retainer. What each one comes to depends on the position in front of us.
Your personal US filings
Non-residents with US income, foreign owners of a US business, Americans abroad, and anyone bringing missed years current.
- Your residency and treaty position
- How many tax years are open
- Whether an ITIN is needed first
- Foreign account and asset reporting
- Any state return that is triggered
Your figure comes from a free scoping call, and it is agreed in writing before any work starts.
Your entity’s annual filings
Foreign-owned LLCs, foreign parents with a US subsidiary or branch, marketplace sellers, and domestic corporations.
- Entity type and who owns it
- How many related parties report
- Which states you have triggered
- Transaction volume and bookkeeping condition
- Payroll, if you have US employees
Your figure comes from a free scoping call, and it is agreed in writing before any work starts.
Some US positions need a conversation first
None of these cost more by default. They just cannot be priced honestly from a web page, so we scope them on a call.
US and UK filings that need to run together are handled by the corridor practice.
Each reportable relationship carries its own filing, so the count changes the scope.
The scope depends on how many years are open and what was filed, if anything.
Nexus, registrations and returns vary state by state, so the number does too.
We will tell you what it is and what it needs before we quote for it.
Advisory work is scoped to the question in front of us, not to a return.
