  We launched Global Tax Network with the clear vision of delivering high quality expertise and value to each of our clients. GTN has grown rapidly over the last decade by focusing on the tax needs of expatriate and foreign national employees and their employers, providing extraordinary accessible service and value. We are 100% committed to mobility tax; we are not encumbered by being a subset of a larger, more traditional, audit and corporate tax division. Our client’s needs are not just a piece of what we do, they represent who we are and everything we do. When they call, we answer and deliver the solutions needed! This means we can deliver our services more quickly and efficiently, which saves time and ultimately money for your organization.As a former employee of a Big 4 CPA firm I gained an expertise in mobility tax compliance, consulting, and strategy. This knowledge is now part of GTN along with personalized service that meets emerging and growing organizations’ needs. I am a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Minnesota Society of Certified Public Accountants. I received my undergraduate degree from Mankato State University, and hold a Master of Business Taxation from the University of Minnesota.We never forget that it is the human element of client service that differentiates GTN.GTN Tax Service Advantages:✔ Providing a full range of global mobility tax services, from pre-assignment planning through repatriation✔ Preparing home and host country individual income tax returns✔ Supporting and guiding Human Resource, Payroll and Tax departments✔ Delivering proactive and responsive support through technology, tools, and advisors ✔ Offering updated knowledge, news, and events related to mobility taxClient Benefits:✔ Dedication to Mobility Tax✔ Accessibility ✔ Proven Value
