Hi, I’m looking for a reputable Tax Accountant who works with international investors to set up and maintain LLC, read some horror stories about the DIY off the internet LLC’s which cost investors big time.I contacted Corporate Direct and they are rather costly which I can understand being one of Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Advisors, so I’m hoping to find someone who can offer the same at a more affordable rate considering I’ll be starting our with 1 property a year and that would preferably be a Turnkey option.
