Questions We Hear Most Often
Clear answers to common client concerns
Do I need to file a U.S. tax return if I’m not a citizen?
Yes, in many cases, non-U.S. citizens are still required to file a U.S. tax return. If you earned income from a U.S. source, worked under a visa, or own property or investments in the U.S., you may need to file Form 1040-NR or a dual-status return. MABE can help you determine your filing requirements and make sure everything is submitted accurately. We specialize in international tax consulting for non-residents, new immigrants, and foreign investors.
Can you help me with bookkeeping if my business is outside the U.S.?
Yes. We work with business owners and entrepreneurs in many countries who are operating—or planning to operate—in the United States. Whether you’re based in Latin America, Europe, or elsewhere, we provide bookkeeping services that align with U.S. standards and support your global operations. We’ll also help ensure your business complies with any U.S. financial reporting requirements.
What makes your CPA firm different from others?
We focus on more than just numbers—we help clients understand the “why” behind every financial decision. Our team offers bilingual tax consulting in English and Spanish (with Italian support coming soon) and has decades of experience serving international clients with cross-border needs. Clients choose MABE because we listen first, explain clearly, and build relationships that last. We’re not here to sell—we’re here to help you make informed, confident decisions.
What kind of tax planning do you offer?
We offer both personal and business tax consulting designed to minimize risk and optimize your financial outcomes. This includes pre-immigration tax strategy, entity structuring for new businesses, and year-round guidance to help reduce liabilities. Our team helps clients avoid common mistakes that lead to penalties or missed opportunities. Whether you’re an individual or an international investor, we’ll build a strategy around your goals.
Do I have to use QuickBooks to work with you?
Not at all. While we do offer QuickBooks consulting for clients who already use it or want to get started, we also work with a variety of accounting tools and systems. Our priority is to meet you where you are and make your financial processes more efficient. If you’re not sure what platform is right for you, we can help you choose and set it up correctly from the start.
