FAQ
Questions from United States clients
Is client consent needed to use an offshore preparer?
Under IRS Section 7216 rules, US firms generally need taxpayer consent before disclosing tax return information to a preparer outside the US. We'll walk you through how firms we work with handle this during onboarding.
Which US time zones do you cover?
All of them. Most clients are on Eastern or Pacific time, and we schedule calls in your morning.
