About David

David Kim is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensed in New York State and a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CGA) in British Columbia, Canada. He holds a Master of Science in Taxation from Fordham University and has spent sixteen years focusing exclusively on cross-border tax matters for internationally mobile individuals. David's practice serves three distinct client groups: US citizens and Green Card holders living abroad who must file US tax returns regardless of where they reside (and navigate FBAR and FATCA reporting for foreign accounts); newcomers to Canada who need to establish their Canadian tax residency, claim the appropriate foreign tax credits, and understand the interaction between Canadian tax rules and any tax treaty with their home country; and individuals arriving in or departing from the UK who face the complexities of the UK statutory residence test. He is a member of the American Institute of CPAs, the Tax Executives Institute, and holds a Diploma in International Taxation from the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) in the UK. David is Korean-American and also advises Korean and Japanese nationals on the specific treaty provisions that affect their common income types, including employment income, rental income, and pension distributions.
