Steve Handler Email & Phone Number

I enjoy friendships and working relationships with entrepreneurs, executives and other international professionals throughout the globe. My clients from over 25 countries turn to me for advice on avoiding the many pitfalls of conducting business in the US. As the “US business tour guide”, I share my vast resources of other international professionals, as well as information on living and enjoying life in America. Helping foreign companies succeed in their US endeavors provides me a great sense of accomplishment.I have a BBA from the University of Iowa, an MBA from DePaul, various certifications (Certified Public Accountant, Certified Management Consultant and Certified Global Management Accountant), and vast business experience, which uniquely qualifies me to assist global companies on their US inbound and outbound expansions. My experience at a Fortune 500 company, as an industry executive, at a multi-national CPA firm and as a partner at Michael Silver and Company, CPAs allows me to share a broad business perspective.My expertise in International Tax Planning, International Accounting, Strategic Planning and Mergers are key services that helps my clients meet challenges and capitalize on opportunities in the US. My clients are not only diverse in country of origin, but also in the industry sectors: technology, manufacturing/distribution and service. My communication skills have taught me to know when to listen and when to voice an opinion. Helping companies start with the right structure, understand and address "Transfer Pricing" issues, use bilateral international tax treaties to their advantage, and know their obligations and opportunities under US and state income tax laws is just a part of my international services. Making the transition as easy and seamless as possible for the company, its owners and key personnel is an important part of my responsibilities. A good meal or round of golf together can be as important as a meeting at the office.
