Accelerate Cross-Border Growth
Cross-border business between APAC/China and the U.S. is full of real complexity — different tax systems, reporting expectations, business cultures, and stakeholders pulling in different directions. For founders, investors, or high-net-worth individuals, navigating this complexity without losing sight of their goals depends on the right people clearly understanding the parameters involved.
Our APAC/China Practice brings together bilingual and multicultural professionals across Baker Tilly’s tax, audit, and advisory teams — people who understand both the technical requirements and the relationship dynamics that shape cross-border decision-making. We work closely with headquarters and U.S. teams, keeping both sides informed, culturally aligned, and moving in the same direction.
Move forward with clarity, alignment, and confidence across APAC/China and the U.S. — whether expanding into new markets or managing cross-border wealth — with support from Baker Tilly professionals who know both worlds.
Growth with Clarity
You’re operating across borders, managing competing priorities, and looking for a partner who understands both where you’re coming from and where you want to go.
We support a range of businesses and individuals pursuing their business and financial goals, including:
- U.S. subsidiaries of APAC and China-headquartered companies navigating expansion, reporting, and regulatory requirements
- Asian American-owned and operated businesses building and scaling within the U.S. market
- Founders, investors, and high-net-worth individuals managing cross-border financial and tax considerations
