The Real Business #RCGT – Getting the right US tax advice

Published on April 28, 2025

Michael Tsertsivadze is a Senior International Taxation Manager who specializes in U.S. taxation for both Canadian corporations doing business in the United States and their U.S. subsidiaries.

Each U.S. state has its own tax rules, which can be a real challenge for clients. Michael works closely with sales tax experts within the firm and the Grant Thornton group to ensure that clients are supported by the right people, are legally compliant and have a good understanding of all the characteristics of the state where they do business.

Furthermore, a tax audit can be a stressful process. Michael knows that his support reassures the client during this process in particular.

Frank Ortega, Michael’s client at the Bayard Inc publishing Group, called on Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton to help meet both the organization’s audit and taxation needs. He built both a personal and professional relationship with Michael. Frank can count on Michael’s expertise and his diligent approach when answering questions regarding presenting his company’s accounting information or a timeline, for example.

When clients are supported by competent professionals, they can avoid unpleasant surprises and the potential resulting costs. They can also enjoy peace of mind and focus on other important management tasks.
