Build Your U.S. Business on a Stronger Financial Foundation
From entity setup and monthly accounting to payroll, sales tax and ongoing tax compliance — and fractional CFO, controller and tax director leadership on a fixed monthly basis — we help Chinese-owned businesses operate in the United States with clarity and confidence.
Need the leadership layer? → Fractional CFO · Controller · Tax Director
Get the U.S. books and taxes right first — then add the leader who owns them when you need one
B&G does two things at once. One line is ongoing execution: monthly bookkeeping, payroll, sales tax and income tax filings, done properly. The other is fractional leadership: a CFO, controller or tax director on a fixed monthly basis, led by a CPA with in-house experience who owns the outcome. Both lines run on one team, one set of books and one calendar.
Bookkeeping · Payroll · Sales tax · Income tax
A fixed monthly rhythm that closes the books and files the returns, with bilingual reports headquarters can read directly — one team from entity launch through annual filings.
- QuickBooks bookkeeping, monthly close and bilingual management reports
- U.S. payroll, payroll taxes and employer compliance
- Sales tax nexus reviews, multistate registration and filing
- Withholding on payments to the parent: W-8BEN-E, Forms 1042 / 1042-S
- U.S. company formation (as step one of the monthly engagement; not offered stand-alone)
- Federal and state income tax, Form 5472 and related-party reporting
- Historical cleanup and IRS / state notice responses
Fractional CFO · Controller · Tax Director
When the subsidiary needs an owner, not another vendor: someone who knows U.S. rules and headquarters' requirements and is accountable for the result — on a fixed monthly basis, without a full-time executive's cost.
- Fractional CFO: budget and 13-week cash forecast, headquarters and board reporting, funding and bank financing
- Fractional Controller: close calendar, full reconciliations, consolidation package, controls and audit PBC
- Fractional Tax Director: full-year tax calendar, quarterly provision, transfer-pricing register, multistate nexus, notice representation
- One teamleader and execution team under one roof
- One set of booksbookkeeping, reporting and filings on one basis
- One calendarclose, filings and tax deadlines interlocked
Go straight to the solution for your situation
U.S. subsidiaries of Chinese companies
Consolidation-ready monthly reporting, payroll, multistate tax, Forms 1120 and 5472, withholding on payments to the parent — one accountable team.
Cross-border e-commerce sellers
Marketplace collection is not the end of compliance; selling direct through your own site and a U.S. warehouse means company, importer and sales tax sorted in one pass. Amazon / Shopify / TikTok Shop reconciliation, inventory and landed cost, nexus and VDA.
Form 5472 filing
Required for 25%+ foreign-owned U.S. corporations and foreign-owned single-member LLCs in any year with related-party transactions — no revenue is not an exemption; $25,000 per missed form. Determination, filing and late-filing relief.
Sales tax nexus & VDA
Which states require registration, how thresholds are measured, what marketplace collection leaves to you, and how to cure missed years through voluntary disclosure. State by state.
Withholding on payments to the parent
Dividends, interest and royalties are withheld at 30% by default, 10% under the U.S.–China treaty with a W-8BEN-E; service fees follow where the work is done. Forms 1042 / 1042-S deposits, filing and catch-up.
How we work & fees
Fixed monthly fee, clear scope. How the fee is set, what it includes, how onboarding works. First conversation free.
U.S. company formation (with ongoing bookkeeping and tax)
Formation is step one — entity, state, EIN, bank, sales-tax registration on one calendar. Not offered as a stand-alone service.
U.S. compliance shouldn't be something you piece together yourself.
Many companies end up with one bookkeeper, one payroll provider, one sales-tax service and a tax preparer who appears once a year — and no one who owns the complete process. That's where gaps, inconsistencies and penalties come from.
The fragmented approach
- Bookkeeping, payroll, sales tax and income tax split across providers
- No one sees the complete compliance picture
- Headquarters and the U.S. team work from different numbers
- QuickBooks is incomplete and the monthly close slips
- When an IRS or state notice arrives, no one takes the lead
The B&G approach
- One team owns bookkeeping, payroll, sales tax and income tax
- One compliance calendar, proactively managed
- Bilingual communication keeps everyone on the same page
- Books close monthly; leadership sees real numbers
- Notices are analyzed, answered and followed through to resolution

Enterprise-Level Experience. Founder-Led Service.
B&G was founded by Jenny Gao, CPA, EA — an accounting and tax professional with more than 13 years of experience spanning Big Four public accounting and in-house global tax leadership. Since 2016, the founder has maintained a dedicated focus on helping Chinese companies establish, operate and remain compliant in the United States.
That experience covers the full U.S. business lifecycle — from entity launch, accounting-system setup, bookkeeping, payroll, sales tax and income tax to multi-state operations, cross-border matters and ongoing compliance — across manufacturing, energy and storage, technology and software, e-commerce, consumer brands, restaurants and franchises, and trading and wholesale. B&G operates as a boutique, founder-led team: the founder stays closely involved in each engagement, connecting China headquarters with U.S. teams, banks, payroll providers, attorneys and government agencies.
