US Cross-Border Tax Compliance
The US tax system is one of the most complex in the world, and for foreign-owned entities and non-resident owners, the stakes are even higher. A single missed filing can trigger a $25,000 IRS penalty. We make sure that never happens.
Built for Cross-Border Businesses
Whether you are a non-resident founder with a US entity or a multi-jurisdiction business group, our Business Registration Services engagement is tailored to your specific structure and compliance position.
Non-Resident Founders
Foreign individuals who have set up US LLCs or corporations and need to stay compliant with IRS filing requirements.
Foreign-Owned US LLCs
Single-member and multi-member LLCs owned by non-US persons that must file Form 5472 and pro forma Form 1120.
Canadian Businesses with US Operations
Canadian companies conducting business, generating revenue, or maintaining a presence in the United States.
Individuals with US-Source Income
Non-resident aliens earning income from US sources who need to file Form 1040-NR and stay compliant.
$25,000
IRS Penalty
Form 5472 non-compliance triggers a mandatory $25,000 penalty per failure — with no reasonable cause exception. Multiple years of non-filing can compound into six-figure exposure.
Comprehensive Service Scope
Every engagement covers the full scope of your compliance and accounting needs. We do not just file forms — we assess your entire position, flag risks, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
Our team brings audit-level judgment to every deliverable. Each filing is reviewed by a CPA, cross-checked against regulatory requirements, and delivered with supporting documentation for your records.
CPA-Supervised Review
Every deliverable is reviewed by a CPA before submission — no junior-only engagements.
Multi-Jurisdiction Awareness
We consider cross-border implications across US, Canada, Australia, and Kenya.
Fixed-Fee — No Surprises
You know exactly what the engagement costs before we start. No hourly billing, no scope creep.

Fellie Martin Consultancy transformed our tax compliance. We were facing KRA penalties for missed filings, and they got us fully compliant within weeks. Their knowledge of the Kenyan tax system is exceptional.
James Mwangi
SME Owner, Nairobi
They handled our company registration from start to finish — BRS, KRA PIN, NSSF, NHIF, everything. What we thought would take months was done in weeks. Highly professional and responsive.
Grace Wanjiku

As a CPA myself, I was impressed by the depth of their audit work. They identified control weaknesses our previous auditors had missed and provided practical recommendations. Truly audit-level quality.

Their bookkeeping service has been a game-changer for our business. Our books are always up to date, our monthly reports are clear, and we are always ready for KRA audits. Worth every shilling.
