International Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping that accounts for multiple currencies, foreign accounts, and cross-border transactions, so year-end international reporting starts from organized records. We keep the records a foreign-owned business or an expat needs to file accurately.
Sending a request is free and carries no commitment. Scope and fee are confirmed in writing.
In short: We provide monthly bookkeeping built for cross-border finances: multi-currency transactions, foreign bank accounts, and records kept ready for FBAR and FATCA reporting. It is designed for expats, international founders, and global businesses whose books must support U.S. tax filings as well as day-to-day decisions.

Bookkeeping Built for Cross-Border Financial Complexity
Bookkeeping gets harder when your financial life crosses borders. Foreign bank accounts, multi-currency transactions, transfer pricing, and international reporting requirements like FBAR and FATCA call for records kept with those reports in mind.
At Arc & Ledger, we maintain your books with full awareness of your international obligations. Every transaction is recorded, categorized, and documented in a way that supports both your domestic tax filings and any required international disclosures. When tax season arrives, your books are already organized for FBAR and FATCA reporting.
Arc & Ledger is led by an Enrolled Agent with a Master of Science in Taxation and experience in cross-border compliance, so the books are kept with the tax treatment of each international transaction in view.

Who Needs International Bookkeeping?
U.S. Expats Living Abroad
You live overseas but file U.S. taxes. Your foreign income, bank accounts, and investments need to be tracked in a way that supports Form 2555, FBAR, and FATCA filings.
Foreign Nationals in the U.S.
You moved to the U.S. on a visa (E-2, L-1, H-1B) and still have financial ties abroad. Your bookkeeping needs to bridge both countries.
Cross-Border Business Owners
You own businesses or entities in multiple countries. Each entity needs separate books, and transactions between them need transfer pricing documentation.
International E-Commerce Sellers
You sell across borders, receive payments in multiple currencies, and need to track VAT, customs duties, and multi-jurisdiction sales tax obligations.
