Andrew Lattimore
I have been working with Stephanie Stickler and Stateside Solutions since I moved to Canada in 2011. One downside of being a dual citizen living in Canada is the requirement to file U.S. taxes each year. Stephanie and her team have a streamlined process for this, and they send timely reminders each year. She is available if/when I have any questions in completing the filing, or for any other tax questions I may have. I have found her to be professional, responsive, knowledgeable and thorough in all that she does for me.
Monica Klingenberg
As a Canadian tax practitioner who also assists individuals with personal tax returns, working with Stephanie and her team to assist our clients in situations where U.S. tax compliance is required has been smooth and efficient. Stephanie and her team’s knowledge of U.S. tax reporting has been beneficial to many of our clients who must navigate both U.S. and Canadian tax reporting systems.

I’ve coordinated with Stephanie and her team for many years, and their work on US tax filings has always been accurate and professional. Our firm has had great success integrating the US tax returns prepared by Stateside Tax Solutions with the Canadian tax returns of our mutual clients (and vice versa). It’s great to have an experienced US tax team that are also members of our local community! Keep up the great work!
