Worldwide Resources + Expertise


Globalization. It's a word that gets thrown around a lot these days. U.S. businesses conduct operations in foreign countries. Foreign-owned businesses operate here. Our citizens live and work abroad, while foreign nationals reside in the U.S.

Many of the implications are obvious―language and cultural barriers, for example. Others, like the financial and tax consequences of operating outside of your home country, are less obvious. That's where we can help.

The professionals in our international practice are experienced advisors to U.S. and foreign individuals and businesses that live and conduct business around the world.

And to support our international clients, our multilingual professionals give great advice in a number of languages besides English—including Mandarin, Cantonese, Russian, Vietnamese, and Spanish.

Where appropriate, we can also draw upon the expertise and resources of professionals in our DFK-affiliate firms. with offices across the country and in more than 80 countries across the globe.
