Bates Baker provides strategic US and UK cross-border tax advice to individuals, founders, families and businesses navigating the complexities of operating, investing and living across borders.
From international relocation and equity compensation to business expansion and cross-border structuring, we help clients understand how the US and UK tax systems interact — and plan before problems arise.
Bates Baker was founded by Sally Hawkins, a US Certified Public Accountant with more than 15 years of Big Four experience advising multinational businesses, founders and internationally mobile individuals — across international tax, financial services, fintech and digital assets.
Cross-border tax planning for people moving, investing, building businesses or managing wealth between the US and UK.
Tax advice for businesses expanding between the US and UK, including cross-border corporate structuring, establishing operations, hiring and relocating employees, and navigating the tax implications of international growth.
A structure that works well in the US may create unexpected consequences in the UK — and vice versa. Income can be taxed at different times, investments can be characterized differently, and equity compensation — from founder shares to RSUs and stock options — can create very different tax outcomes across the two countries. An international move or business expansion can also create tax obligations long before they are obvious.
Bates Baker focuses on identifying these interactions early and helping clients develop a practical strategy across both systems.
