In today’s borderless economy, entrepreneurial ambition knows no bounds. According to a 2023 report from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), nearly one in five new businesses in the U.S. were launched by immigrants last year—highlighting a powerful trend: international founders are reshaping the American business landscape.
But ambition often collides with bureaucracy. Foreign entrepreneurs face a complex maze of legal, tax, and financial requirements before they can even begin operations—from securing essential tax IDs like ITINs and EINs to navigating the IRS, U.S. banking laws, and payroll systems.
That’s where Filing Express steps in.
A One-Stop Shop for Global Entrepreneurs
Filing Express isn’t just another document processing service. It’s a fully integrated platform designed to streamline U.S. market entry for non-resident founders. Whether it’s a solopreneur launching a Shopify store from Brazil or a small team in Nigeria seeking to sell services to U.S. clients, Filing Express offers a clear path forward.
Co-founded by Sina Bonabi and Brian Cunningham, both veterans of the tax and accounting world, the company began by helping thousands of international clients obtain ITINs. Today, it has grown into a full-service tax advisory and accounting firm, positioning itself as a key player in a niche that’s only growing.
“After serving over 10,000 clients, we knew the need was bigger than IDs,” says CEO Brian Cunningham. “So we built a true end-to-end solution for international founders.”
The Problem with Going It Alone
For a foreign entrepreneur, obtaining an EIN or ITIN is non-negotiable—it’s required to open a business bank account, pay employees, and remain compliant with the IRS. But many existing services focus on forms, not strategy. That gap has created confusion, delays, and even penalties for global founders trying to build in good faith.
Filing Express offers a white-glove experience—combining form filing with real advisory. Clients can come for a tax ID and stay for monthly bookkeeping, proactive tax planning, compliance audits, and strategic CFO-level insight.
And unlike faceless competitors, their services don’t stop at the software. “We don’t just send clients PDFs. We give them clarity,” Cunningham says.
Built for the Modern Digital Founder
With a strong focus on online businesses, Filing Express tailors its solutions for e-commerce entrepreneurs, service providers, and content creators operating from abroad. Their clients often ask:
- How do I manage taxes across countries?
- Which deductions apply to non-resident owners?
- Can I pay myself from my U.S. LLC if I live overseas?
The company’s CPAs and advisors—many from Big Four accounting backgrounds—respond not with guesswork, but with clear, actionable guidance.
And behind the scenes, a custom-built IT system—developed by a team ranked among the top 25 CRM developers in the U.S.—powers secure communication and seamless file-sharing across time zones.
Results That Speak for Themselves
In an industry rife with generic, transactional vendors, Filing Express emphasizes trust, transparency, and consistency. That approach is paying off.
- Over 1,000 five-star reviews across platforms
- Top Google ranking for “ITIN services”
- Member of the ClickFunnels Two Comma Club, a designation for companies generating $1M+ from a single funnel
And the firm’s upfront pricing model—with no hidden fees or upsells—has become a signature element of its brand promise.
From Service Provider to Strategic Partner
What sets Filing Express apart is its client-first mentality. The company isn’t just a compliance vendor—it’s a long-term partner.
“We see ourselves as advocates for the entrepreneur, not the IRS,” says Cunningham. “It’s our job to simplify the hard parts so founders can focus on product, sales, and growth.”
That clarity is resonating. As competitors like Legalinc, CorpNet, and Bizee race to automate, Filing Express is betting on service, substance, and strategic depth.
“We’re not the cheapest, and we’re not trying to be,” Cunningham notes. “We’re building the best.”
Positioned for the Future
As immigration policy evolves and global founders continue pouring into the U.S. digital economy, the need for high-touch, high-trust platforms like Filing Express is only set to grow.
With an elite team, proven results, and a mission-driven culture, the company is becoming more than a service—it’s a launchpad for global entrepreneurship in America.
And for thousands of non-resident founders, that launchpad is the difference between “someday” and day one.
