FAQs

Who needs cross-border accounting services?

U.S. citizens living in Canada, Canadians earning income in the U.S., dual residents, cross-border investors, and businesses with operations on both sides.

Can you file both my Canadian and US returns?

Yes. We handle both CRA and IRS filings in-house, ensuring they’re coordinated properly and in compliance with the Canada–U.S. tax authorities.

Will I be taxed twice on the same income?

Not if it’s filed correctly. We use tax provisions and foreign tax credits to eliminate or reduce double taxation whenever possible.

What if I own property or a business in both countries?

We can help. Whether it’s rental income, capital gains, or business revenue, we align your reporting and structure to minimize taxes and ensure you’re compliant in both jurisdictions.

Do you offer ongoing support after the site is live?

Capital gains may be taxed differently in Canada and the U.S., especially for real estate or investments. We help you coordinate the reporting across both systems to avoid double taxation.
