What Big Cake Tax does
We handle the complicated end of US taxation. Our work falls into a few core areas, and most clients touch more than one of them.
US and international tax strategy. Clients work with us to legally reduce their US tax exposure, often down to zero or a very low effective rate, through careful use of exclusions, credits, entity structure, and cross-border coordination. This is the difference between filing a return and actually planning one.
Prior-year clean-up and corrections. We routinely step in after years of incorrect or incomplete filings, figure out exactly what went wrong, and fix it strategically. That includes amending returns, correcting state issues, and cleaning up foreign reporting mistakes such as missed FBAR or FATCA filings.
Catch-up filings and compliance rescue. Many clients arrive behind on filings or unsure of where they stand with the IRS. We build a clear, manageable path to bring everything current while minimizing penalties and unnecessary exposure.
IRS notices, penalties, and resolution. We help clients resolve IRS notices and reduce or eliminate penalties, including cases with significant dollar amounts, so no one is left navigating the IRS alone.
Ongoing advisory for entrepreneurs and investors. For business owners and real estate investors, we provide year-round guidance on structure, timing, and long-term planning so that today's decisions do not turn into expensive problems later.
Who Big Cake Tax is for
Digital nomads
If you earn income while moving between countries, the usual advice breaks down fast. We help location-independent workers and remote business owners handle the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, the physical presence and bona fide residence tests, state residency questions, self-employment tax, and multi-LLC setups, all in plain language. Our clients include full-time nomads running one or more US LLCs from the road.
American expats
US citizens and green card holders owe US tax no matter where they live, and the reporting rules abroad are unforgiving. We manage foreign earned income, the foreign tax credit, married-filing-separately situations with a non-resident spouse, FBAR and FATCA reporting, and streamlined catch-up filings for people who fell behind while overseas. As an expat-owned firm, we file these returns from firsthand experience, and we coordinate with foreign tax advisors and attorneys when a client's situation spans two systems.
Real estate investors
Property is one of the most powerful and most misunderstood areas of the tax code. We advise investors on rental income treatment, depreciation, entity structure for holding property, and the long-term planning that protects returns over time, so investors keep more of what their properties earn.
What makes Big Cake Tax different
We are a US-licensed CPA firm, not a seasonal preparer or a software subscription. We are expat-owned and operated, which means the international and cross-border rules our clients live under are rules we live under too. We do not sell one-size-fits-all packages; every client gets a plan built around their goals, lifestyle, and complexity. And we are a year-round partner, so the strategy keeps working long after the return is filed.
Where Big Cake Tax works
