Non-US person wants to set up company in US

[Kea]

I'm totally out of my element on this one.  Just looking to find out where to look for info.

I was talking to a tax accountant in Mexico.  He expressed an interest in opening an office in Arizona.  He lives and works in Mexico, but is only 60 miles away from the US border.  He helps a lot of Americans with their Mexican tax issues (typically for rental properties).  Since many of these folks live in Arizona, he would like to open an office there so that it will be more convenient for his US clients.  He is not a US citizen nor permanent resident.

Who does he need to talk to in order to pursue this venture?  US immigration specialist?  Business tax expert (I only work with individuals)?  Anyone else?

 

Thanks so much.

Lawyer...Lawyer...Lawyer.... Preferably one with cross boarder law experience.

Anything less Kea, only asks for problems further down the road.
