Since 2016, I have been the manager of the international services division at Grant Thornton Taiwan. I have coordinated customer communications for over 200 multinational clients across payroll, bookkeeping, and tax divisions. In addition, I help to provided advice relating to company structure, legal, and financial problems in Taiwan for hundreds of clients, help to review transfer pricing report
s and other tax documentation for numerous clients, and represent the firm at local and international meetings and events. I wanted to create a helpful resource for multinational corporations and individuals wanting to do business in Taiwan. I’m an American and have been living in Taiwan since 2011; the language, culture, and laws are different here. Most of the clients I work with run across the same problems in these areas, and I want to share my experience and insight to make doing business in Taiwan easier and more effective. The reason why this blog is separate from the Grant Thornton Taiwan website (www.grantthornton.tw/en/) is because it is easier for me to edit and share from this blog, as the GT website is updated by a third party contractor. Also, some of these posts contain my own personal opinions. What is Grant Thornton Taiwan?
