File Your FBAR Today

Every client is assigned a dedicated accountant you can reach by phone or email. We never outsource any part of your return.

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, we tailor our services to meet your specific needs. Your dedicated accountant learns your situation and handles your return from start to finish.

Our commitment to you doesn’t end once your tax return is filed. As tax accountants, we are here to assist you throughout the year whenever you have questions or need guidance related to your US taxes.

For your local filings, we work with partner tax firms in the UK, Australia, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy and other countries , so we can refer you to a trusted local firm. We also work with financial advisors and lawyers when your situation needs them.

We don’t just react to your tax needs; we will help you identify tax optimization opportunities. Our tax accountants will work with you to develop strategies that align with your goals while ensuring compliance with tax laws.

We believe in transparent communication with our clients. We provide you with our pricing list upfront, ensuring clear costs from the beginning. Our policy is to wait to invoice until we have sent you a draft copy of your completed tax return. Clients get CPA-level service at a lower cost than Big 4 firms.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would give them 6 stars if it was possible. Josh and Pamela professionally handled each and every question I had, over and over! I had a lot of doubts about my SFOP procedure, due to the added complexity of it involving three countries, but the team at UniversalTaxProfessionals really made it. I am looking forward to working with you again next year, but this time I will be on time!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had to search extensively to find a reliable tax service, and I am incredibly glad I finally found Universal Tax Professionals.

What mainly differentiates them is their direct approach. Many other companies out there act merely as middlemen—they don't actually have accountants on their own team, yet they mark up their prices massively. With Universal, you get a dedicated professional as your direct point of contact. This makes a huge difference, as you can work closely with a real person and get any issues fixed quickly and efficiently.

Their prices are very fair for the level of personalized, expert service you receive. I am highly satisfied with the experience and will definitely be using their services going forward.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A special thank you to Sofia Mosca! She was very helpful with filing my taxes while I'm overseas, as well as efficient, and friendly! She always replied to me within one to two days, even with our time difference, and I really appreciated that. I highly recommend UTP for reliable and helpful service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've utilized Asher's help for my US personal tax preparation services for 3 or 4 years now, especially for the use case of US Ex-Pat earning foreign income in Europe and still needing to file in the US. He's very responsive and efficient in his work. Josh and Asher also helped me get through an IRS follow-up this year, which was greatly appreciated. Recommend for US expats.
