  • These workshops are built to be highly effective sessions ensuring you walk away with a plan of action.

  • Kent H. | CFO & Director

    "I’ve worked with TaxStudio before on US matters, and in my experience these issues only really show up once a business starts gaining traction — which is exactly when you don’t want to be reworking your structure. The challenge isn’t just getting set up — it’s setting things up in a way that actually supports growth. If you’re heading into the US from NZ, it’s worth thinking this through earlier than you think."

  • Eldon T. | CEO of Inhibit Coatings

    “Unlike other events where people dance around some of the details of setting up in the US Jason and Michele jumped right in! We got a great high level overview of setup strategies, risks and considerations. Topped off with an indepth Q&A and an opportunity to meet the team. I highly recommend attending if you're considering US expansion or if you're someone who supports US expansion.”

End the day with Happy Hour
