The US CPA for Americans Abroad Who Actually Knows Expat Tax
Most CPAs back home have never filed an expat tax return. Mark Anderson has spent his career doing exactly that — helping US citizens living overseas stay fully compliant with the IRS, claim every exclusion they're entitled to, and never miss a critical FBAR deadline.

Americans Living Overseas Have Unique Tax Obligations — And Most Preparers Get Them Wrong
The US is one of only two countries in the world that taxes its citizens on worldwide income, no matter where they live. That means whether you're in Bangkok, Berlin, or Brisbane, you still owe the IRS an annual report. The difference is how you file — and a US expat tax specialist can save you thousands while keeping you fully compliant.
- US citizens living overseas who need an accurate, compliant expat tax return filed every year
- Americans behind on taxes who want to use the IRS Streamlined Filing Procedure to catch up penalty-free
- Freelancers & self-employed expats managing self-employment tax, FEIE, and foreign tax credit together
- Business owners abroad needing an expat small business accountant for bookkeeping and US tax compliance
- Americans with foreign bank accounts who must file FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) and FATCA disclosures to avoid heavy fines
- Green card holders living outside the US who still have a filing obligation with the IRS
Complete US Expat Tax Services for Americans Abroad
Everything under one roof — from your annual 1040 to FBAR filings, FATCA compliance, and bookkeeping for your overseas business. No juggling multiple firms.
US Expat Tax Return (Form 1040)
Full federal tax return preparation for US citizens living outside America. We handle worldwide income reporting, determine your FEIE eligibility under the physical presence or bona fide residence test, and file with the IRS on your behalf — securely, online, from anywhere in the world.
FBAR Filing & FATCA Compliance
If the combined balance of your foreign bank accounts ever exceeded $10,000 at any point during the year, you're legally required to file an FBAR (FinCEN Form 114). Miss it, and the IRS can fine you up to $10,000 per violation — or more for willful non-disclosure. We handle all FBAR reporting and Form 8938 FATCA filings precisely and on time.
Streamlined Filing Procedure
Behind on your US tax returns? The IRS Streamlined Filing Procedure is a legitimate amnesty program that lets qualifying Americans abroad catch up on years of unfiled returns with significantly reduced or zero penalties. Many expats don't know this exists. We guide you through every step and make the process straightforward.
Self-Employed & Freelancer Expat Tax
Running a business or freelancing from overseas comes with extra complexity. Self-employment tax still applies to foreign-earned income even when the FEIE eliminates income tax — a nuance that catches many expat entrepreneurs off guard. We structure your filings to minimize total US tax liability while staying fully compliant, and check whether a totalization agreement with your host country offers any relief.
Expat Tax Planning & Strategy
Filing is the minimum — planning is where you actually save money. We help Americans abroad evaluate their options between the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and Foreign Tax Credit, identify the right tax year structure, assess state domicile exposure (California is notoriously aggressive), and plan for renouncement or repatriation when the time comes.
American Bookkeeping for Expats & Businesses
Proper US-standard bookkeeping is essential if you run a business abroad and report to the IRS. We provide monthly and annual bookkeeping services built around American accounting standards — keeping your records clean for both your expat tax return and any potential IRS inquiries.
What Makes a US CPA for Americans Abroad Different
Expat tax is a narrow, demanding specialty. The IRS forms, deadlines, and eligibility rules for Americans living overseas differ fundamentally from a standard domestic return. Experience matters enormously.
US-Licensed CPA, Not a Generalist
Mark holds a full US CPA license and has built his entire practice around expat taxation. When your return lands on his desk, it's not one of a thousand random domestic filings — it's the work his entire career specializes in.
Deep IRS Expat Filing Knowledge
From the physical presence test to the bona fide residence test, from Form 5471 for foreign corporation owners to Form 3520 for foreign trust recipients — we know the full landscape of US expatriate taxation, including the forms most CPAs have never seen.
FBAR & FATCA Specialists
Foreign bank account reporting has its own compliance track separate from your tax return, with its own deadlines and its own penalty regime. We treat FBAR filing and FATCA compliance as a core practice area — not an afterthought checkbox.
Fully Online, Fully Secure
Our entire client process is built for remote engagement. Secure document portal, encrypted communications, and a workflow that works whether you're in Tokyo, Dubai, or rural Portugal. No in-person meeting required — ever.
Transparent Flat-Fee Pricing
Expat tax work should not come with surprise invoices. We quote you a flat fee upfront based on the complexity of your situation. Starting from $325, with no hidden charges for standard expat forms. You'll know exactly what you're paying before any work begins.
Year-Round Availability
Tax questions don't pause until April. Whether it's an IRS notice in August, an FBAR question in October, or a mid-year move that changes your filing status, we're reachable throughout the year — not just during tax season.
Why a Dedicated Expat CPA Beats TurboTax, H&R Block, or Any DIY Software
Tax software is engineered for domestic US filers. The moment foreign income, foreign accounts, or life abroad enter the picture, generic software becomes a liability — not a solution.
American Bookkeeping & Tax Services for Expat Business Owners
Running a business overseas while keeping your US obligations in order requires more than a one-time annual filing. Expat entrepreneurs, consultants, and small business owners need ongoing financial records that are clean, compliant, and ready for the IRS when needed.
We work with US-standard accounting systems and maintain books that align with both your host country reporting needs and your American tax return — so nothing falls through the cracks at year end.
Talk to an Expat AccountantMonthly Bookkeeping for Expat Businesses
Regular reconciliation, categorization, and reporting — built around US accounting standards and your specific business structure abroad.
Annual Bookkeeping & Year-End Close
Full-year financial review with organized records that feed directly into your expat tax return, minimizing back-and-forth during filing season.
Freelancer & Consultant Support
Self-employed Americans abroad have unique IRS reporting requirements. We track income, allowable deductions, and foreign currency conversions so your Schedule C is always accurate.
Small Business Expat Tax Compliance
For Americans who own or co-own a foreign business entity, we handle the related US reporting requirements — including Form 5471 for controlled foreign corporations.
