A practical overview of Brown & Bayram’s current service scope, process and professional boundaries.

Questions and answers

What prospective clients commonly ask.

Your individual filing and reporting needs depend on your facts. A short inquiry is the first step toward confirming fit and scope.

Who does Brown & Bayram primarily serve?

Our primary focus is Americans living in Switzerland. Suitable U.S. tax and bookkeeping engagements from elsewhere may also be considered without weakening that Switzerland focus.

What services are currently available?

Current services include suitable U.S. individual returns, freelancer and Schedule C returns, straightforward small-business returns and monthly bookkeeping. FBAR, Form 8938 and cleanup work may be added when applicable and accepted within the engagement.

How does the introductory process work?

Send a short inquiry describing where you live, the service needed and the filing years involved. We review suitability, define the expected work and limitations, and confirm the fee before asking you to proceed.

Should I send tax documents through the contact form?

No. Please do not send tax returns, identification numbers, account details or other sensitive records through the inquiry form. After engagement, documents are exchanged through the approved secure process.

Can every international tax matter be accepted?

No. Complexity and current service boundaries are reviewed before acceptance. PFICs, trusts, foreign corporations, complicated pensions, treaty interpretation and other higher-risk matters may require specialist review or referral.

What professional credentials are represented?

Richard holds a current PTIN and an Annual Filing Season Program Record of Completion. He is not currently a CPA, enrolled agent or attorney, and AFSP participation does not provide unrestricted representation rights before the IRS.

Do the website articles provide personal tax advice?

No. Website articles and tools are general educational information. Filing requirements and appropriate choices depend on individual facts and current law.

When will I know the price?

The expected fee is confirmed after an initial review of the service needed, filing years, forms, complexity and condition of the records. Final scope and exclusions are stated before work begins.

General website information is educational and is not personalized tax, legal or financial advice.

Still have a question?

Send a short inquiry and we will first confirm whether your situation fits the practice’s current scope.
