Advisory Services

As international entities grow, develop and change, High Street Partners keeps them on track by providing advisory services at various strategic points. These non-recurring projects arise at often predictable intervals during project assessment and development, implementation, and ongoing operation.

They may include the following: expatriate tax and HR-related matters, incentive compensation planning in the form of employee stock option and stock purchase plans, employee benefits advice and provision, international cash-management strategies, audit preparation and support, import/export regulatory advice, physical relocation assistance for individuals or companies, employee recruitment, transfer pricing matters, country specific GST/VAT/Consumption tax advice, and other areas of guidance.

"We operate all over the world, and as a result we have people working for us in different employment status – permanent employees, expats, independent contractors, you name it. The employment rules are complicated, and one can easily make an expensive mistake if you don’t know the ins and outs of these rules in each country. But when you’re growing as quickly as we are domestically, how can you stay on top of the rest of the world too? We started working with High Street Partners in 2004 when we asked them initially to help us with our new employees in the U.K. and Japan. Now, they help support our operations in 12 different countries. I like that I can just pick up the phone and know that they will give us knowledgeable advice and make sound recommendations."
