Thinking Beyond the Boundaries: International Tax Accounting
At Piascik & Associates, our growing international tax accounting practice has earned
us a global reputation. Just take a look at our client list: it now
spans seven countries and four continents. This level of expansion is possible
because of the breadth of expertise our associates gained while working
for the international divisions of Fortune 500 companies.
Our core competencies in the international arena include accounting and tax planning, assisting companies with
maximizing tax benefits related to export transactions, designing global tax structures to minimize U.S. and
foreign taxes and developing repatriation strategies centered on the use of foreign tax credits.

- Corporate Organization and Restructuring for U.S. Operation
- Transfer Pricing Studies
- Advanced Pricing Agreements
- International Tax Compliance

Also, when we say we speak the language of international taxes, we truly mean it. Our firm has personnel fluent in a
wide range of foreign languages including German, Russian, Spanish and Japanese. That advantage can mean a world of
difference for your company.

A leading New York City firm called Piascik & Associates with an international opportunity that required an
immediate response. A business venture had become apparent, and they needed a business representative from Piascik
to meet them in Italy in only five days.
Piascik not only sent one of the firm's local Italian business representatives to meet with the company, but also
structured the business venture more efficiently than the New York firm had proposed. What's more, the New York firm
had no idea that their original structure would not allow many of current tax privileges currently granted under that
county's tax treaties.
The result? Our efforts yielded hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax savings and penalties. And a very appreciative client.
