Who We Are

Built for the Complexity
of Cross-Border Law

Finteck LLC is a U.S.-based legal and financial advisory firm founded to serve foreign companies and financial institutions that need sophisticated, affordable U.S. legal guidance.

Where Finance Meets the Law

Finteck LLC was founded to bridge a genuine gap in the market: bringing U.S.-quality legal analysis to foreign companies — especially African financial institutions — at accessible, transparent pricing.

We specialize in the intersection of U.S. tax law, international finance, and regulatory compliance — combining the analytical depth of a former capital markets attorney with practical experience across hundreds of complex cross-border transactions.

Our clients range from African banks seeking U.S. correspondent relationships to foreign holding companies recovering wrongfully withheld U.S. taxes. What they share is a need for a trusted U.S. legal partner who understands both sides of the transaction.

01

Flat-Fee Transparency

Most services are offered at flat fees — no billing surprises, no hourly uncertainty. You know the cost before we begin.

02

African Market Expertise

With roots in Mauritius and professional relationships across sub-Saharan Africa, we understand the unique regulatory challenges African companies face in the U.S. market.

03

Finance + Law Combined

Our Managing Partner holds both legal and financial credentials — J.D. with International Trade & Finance specialization, a Master's in Financial Management, and actuarial training.

04

Accessible to All Clients

We serve clients that BigLaw won't take — and deliver the same quality of analysis at a fraction of the cost.

What We Stand For

Precision

Every analysis we deliver is grounded in rigorous legal and financial research — no shortcuts, no boilerplate.

Transparency

Clear pricing, clear scope, clear communication. You always know what you're getting and what it costs.

Access

U.S. legal quality should not be reserved for Fortune 500 companies. We work with growing global businesses at every stage.

Integrity

We only take matters where we can genuinely help — and we tell you honestly when something is outside our scope.

Global Perspective

We understand the regulatory environments on both sides of the transaction — not just U.S. law, but how it intersects with African and international frameworks.

Partnership

We don't just deliver documents. We build ongoing relationships with clients as their U.S. presence grows and evolves.

What We Do

Our Practice Areas

Each service is designed to be document-driven, efficient, and priced transparently — so foreign companies can access U.S.-quality legal work without inflated overhead.

💰Tax Recovery

Portfolio Interest Exemption Claims

Foreign companies that had U.S. interest income wrongfully withheld at 30% may qualify for a full refund. We analyze eligibility, gather documentation, and file refund claims before the statute of limitations expires.

Flat Fee: $1,500–$4,000
📄Compliance Filing

W-8BEN-E Preparation & Review

Incorrect W-8BEN-E forms lead to over-withholding and IRS scrutiny. We prepare and review these forms for accuracy, ensuring your entity's treaty benefits and exemptions are correctly claimed.

Flat Fee: $750–$1,500
🏦FinCEN / BOI

BOI Reporting & FinCEN Compliance

The Corporate Transparency Act requires most U.S. entities to file Beneficial Ownership Information reports with FinCEN. We handle initial filings, updates, and advise on exemptions for foreign-owned entities.

Flat Fee: $500–$1,200
🌐Tax Treaty

U.S. Tax Treaty Analysis

We analyze applicable U.S. tax treaties to identify reduced withholding rates, exemptions, and treaty benefits available to your entity — with a written opinion memo documenting the analysis.

Flat Fee: $1,000–$2,500
🏢Entity Formation

U.S. Entity Formation Advisory

We advise on optimal U.S. entity structure for foreign companies (LLC, C-Corp, branch), coordinate with registered agents, and assist with EIN acquisition and banking setup.

Flat Fee: $1,500–$3,500
🔐Regulatory

FATCA & OFAC Advisory

FATCA compliance is non-negotiable for foreign financial institutions with U.S. account holders. We advise on registration requirements, IGAs, and OFAC sanctions screening obligations.

Flat Fee: $2,000–$5,000
🤝Banking

Correspondent Banking Documentation

We prepare the legal documentation packages required by U.S. correspondent banks, including KYC/AML questionnaires, legal opinions, and regulatory compliance certifications.

Flat Fee: $2,000–$4,500
💱Market Entry

U.S. Market Entry Bundle

A comprehensive package for foreign companies entering the U.S. market: entity formation, EIN, W-8BEN-E, BOI filing, initial tax treaty analysis, and a compliance roadmap — all at a bundled rate.

Bundle Fee: $4,500–$8,000
📊Trade

AGOA Trade Benefit Advisory

African companies eligible under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) can access duty-free U.S. market entry. We advise on eligibility, documentation, and compliance requirements.

Flat Fee: $1,500–$3,000

Simple. Transparent. Efficient.

Step 01

Initial Consultation

We discuss your situation, identify applicable services, and provide a clear scope and flat-fee quote — no billing surprises.

Step 02

Document Review

We collect and analyze your corporate records, financial documents, and tax filings to assess eligibility and build the analysis.

Step 03

Written Analysis

We deliver a clear written analysis and recommendation — or file the applicable forms, claims, or reports on your behalf.

Step 04

Ongoing Support

We remain available for follow-up questions, IRS correspondence, and ongoing compliance needs as your U.S. presence grows.

Africa Practice

Bridging African Capital
with U.S. Markets

Dedicated legal and compliance advisory for African banks, investors, and companies navigating U.S. regulatory, tax, and banking requirements.

A Market We Know

African financial institutions and companies face unique barriers when entering U.S. markets — from correspondent banking de-risking to complex withholding tax structures that penalize foreign investors unfamiliar with U.S. treaty networks.

With roots in Mauritius and professional relationships across sub-Saharan African financial markets, Finteck LLC was founded specifically to serve this underserved community — bringing the same analytical rigor applied at major U.S. broker-dealers to clients who have historically lacked access to it.

We understand both the U.S. regulatory environment and the commercial realities facing African institutions — the AML scrutiny, the correspondent banking challenges, and the compliance documentation required just to open a U.S. account.

Finteck LLC is supported by a network of qualified, experienced financial and legal professionals with deep expertise in global business and investments — including U.S. tax treaties, international tax regulations, cross-border structuring, and the regulatory frameworks governing African participation in U.S. capital markets.

Our Team

Finteck LLC is supported by a network of qualified, experienced financial and legal professionals with deep expertise in global business and investments — including U.S. tax treaties, international tax regulations, cross-border structuring, and the regulatory frameworks governing foreign participation in U.S. capital markets.

Over a Decade of Legal & Financial Experience Across Two Continents

Our Managing Partner brings an uncommon combination of credentials to U.S. cross-border legal work: a Juris Doctor with a specialization in International Trade and Finance from the University of Kansas School of Law, a Master's in Financial Management, and an actuarial science background — all grounded in over a decade of hands-on experience in U.S. capital markets and financial regulation.

Before founding Finteck LLC, our Managing Partner served as Associate General Counsel at Edward D. Jones & Co., where she led legal review of complex AML escalations, advised on high-risk securities activity, responded to FINRA and SEC examinations, and developed compliance policies for one of the largest broker-dealers in the United States.

Prior to that, she served as Law Clerk to two Iowa appellate judges, drafting opinions in complex civil and criminal matters — and earlier gained financial analysis experience at Wells Fargo Bank, where she underwrote equipment leases, restructured delinquent portfolios, and analyzed borrower creditworthiness across a multi-billion dollar portfolio.

With roots in Mauritius and professional relationships across African financial markets, she founded Finteck LLC to bridge a genuine gap: bringing U.S.-quality legal analysis to foreign companies — especially African financial institutions — at accessible, transparent pricing.
