About Shawn Burman

Thank you for stopping by my profile. As a Certified Public Accountant, I believe in a new way to build relationships with clients by not just being a trusted advisor, but a key partner in the growth and success of an individual or business. Over my time in this profession, I have learned that a client doesn\'t just need a CPA, they need a tax professional to assist with financial advising and planning, obtaining business financing, designing new business processes, and every other aspect of obtaining success. I am that partner for my clients.I am an enthusiastic tax professional at Faragalla and Associates serving the Mid-Atlantic marketplace. With over 16 years of experience in public accounting, I provide remarkable client service spanning a number of domestic and international industries including, manufacturing and distribution, construction and real estate, legal and professional service, and software development. As past Treasurer for Baltimore Sister Cities, Inc. my passion among these industries has grown to advising on international expansion for foreign Corporations looking to establish a business in the United States. I specialize in entity selection and formation, Federal and State registrations, and all compliance with the strict foreign reporting rules in the US. My connection with international service providers, The Port of Baltimore, embassy liaisons, and government officials give me the ability to make establishing a business in the United States a seamless process.For all of my clients, I ensure proactive tax planning by staying abreast of current legislation that will impact your life and business along with quarterly client meetings to advise on personal and business financial strategy, all to ensure peace of mind.I am a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Maryland Association of Certified Public Accountants (MACPA).
