Both Jim Brenner and Christine Elsea-Mandojana have hands-on experience in the U.S. expatriate life and understand the resulting tax complexities.

Brenner & Elsea-Mandojana, LLC offers financial planning services tailored to the needs of U.S. individuals located in the U.S. and overseas.
Business Valuations
Determining the value of a business, asset or ownership right, requires a great deal of experience, financial knowledge and judgment. Valuation has evolved into three basic approaches, each with many methods or techniques. Because of the many subjective factors involved with applying the many methods and techniques, persons performing the valuation process often arrive at significantly different conclusions. As CPA’s accredited in business valuations, we meet these requirements.

Acquisitions & Divestitures, Accounting & Attestation, General Advisory, Quick Books, SEC Compliance & Reporting
General Advisory
With numerous, constantly changing rules and regulations to follow, projects to complete and deadlines to meet, persons responsible for the finance, tax and accounting functions need resources. Further, many growing small- and mid-sized business do not need and cannot afford in-house, full-time, senior level finance executives. That’s where we fit in. Our experiences, resources (knowledge, qualified people, tools and systems) and commitment, will get the project done right. Our practice is dedicated to outstanding and timely service.
Accounting & Attestation
We specialize in finance and accounting operations, and transformation of those operations as companies grow. Streamlining the numbers gathering and the closing process, then creating financial pictures that help articulate the story behind the numbers, is what we do. Whether you are a business owner, financial officer or professional service provider, we can assist you with controllership functions and other finance projects.

One series of products, the QuickBooks series, is ideal for buisnesses ranging from start-up to approximately 500 employees. We have many years experience helping businesses in several industries.

We are experienced with acquisition accounting rules and U.S. tax law for buy, sell, re-organize and other M&A activities. When a transaction makes sense, we know what to do to get a deal closed.
