A practice built for one specific problem
Most accountants handle one country well. This practice exists because handling both, together, is a different skill.
Cross-border tax problems do not show up in a single country's tax code. A nurse commuting to a US hospital, a remote employee kept on US payroll after moving to Toronto, a relocation mid-year on a TN visa: each of these situations sits at the intersection of two filing systems, two sets of deadlines, and a treaty that only works if both returns are prepared with the other one in mind.
The practice prepares Canadian returns, US returns, and the cross-border files where both countries are involved. When they are, the foreign tax credit, the residency determination, and the treaty position are not an afterthought bolted onto a domestic return. They are the starting point. Quebec provincial returns are not offered.

Who you work with
Serge Gautron
I've been helping clients solve tax problems and meet their filing obligations since 1992. My career began in Canadian taxation, where I served self-employed individuals and income property owners.
In 2010, I expanded into U.S. taxation. Today, I focus on expatriate, nonresident, and cross-border tax matters, helping individuals and families navigate U.S. tax obligations while living, working, and investing across borders.
My experience includes cross-border and multi-jurisdictional tax matters involving U.S. citizens, expatriates, and internationally mobile taxpayers.
Along the way, I've taught continuing education courses for U.S. tax practitioners and volunteered my time in board service to the National Society of Tax Professionals.
My goal is simple: solve the tax problem, remove the stress, and help clients move forward with confidence.

Expatriate, nonresident, and cross-border US returns for US citizens, expatriates, and internationally mobile taxpayers, with continuing education courses taught to other US tax practitioners and board service to the National Society of Tax Professionals.
