Review Aaron Richter

Knowledgeable, experienced tax attorney

Posted by

Aaron is a dedicated, experienced tax attorney. He sets out a well-defined strategy for the case and thoroughly research and analyzes every stage of the case. His knowledge of the rights and responsibilities that attach to foreign account holders in the U.S. is superb. I wholeheartedly recommend Aaron for federal, state, loca, and international tax issues.

FATCA-FBAR

Posted by

On finding out I was not compliant with my FBAR filing requirements, I hired Aaron to help me go through the FBAR filing and better understand which steps were necessary to become compliant based on FACTA-FBAR regulations. As painful as the experience was, Aaron led me calmly through the process, ensuring all the details were collected and putting himself between myself and the IRS on communications and within the expected length of time my case was completed and I regained compliancy and peace of mind. I continue to use Aaron as my accountant and advisor regarding international investment requirements. In comparison to many companies I contacted, his consulting fees are extremely competitive. One of the biggest positives for me, is his personal approach and interaction, which many corporate accountants office do not offer.
