About Michael

I help European companies with international exposure manage US tax obligations. As a US CPA with broad experience (PwC, EY, in-house at a UK tech company), I assist companies with corporate filings, multistate nexus exposure, ECI considerations, sales tax, and ongoing compliance for US entities. I also handle accounting for US entities, creating a chart of accounts and maintaining US GAAP books. The goal is to seamlessly integrate and be an extra set of eyes and hands supporting your tax and finance teams.

I also support founders, investors, and other US expats with individual filings and IRS matters, as well as foreign investors with US reporting obligations (Forms 1120, 5472, 1120-F, 8804, 8805, 8813, etc.) and tax treaty considerations.

I am a dual US/UK national and primarily work remotely as my time is divided between Madrid and Miami; occasionally available for on-site collaboration throughout Europe. If you're looking for experienced support on US tax compliance, I’d be happy to learn more about your company and how I can assist.
