IC-DISC is highly specialized. Many CPA firms do not want to handle the technical work, filings, optimization analysis, and compliance requirements internally.
Export Tax Management was built to fill that gap.
Founded by Paul Ferreira, CPA, ETM was created to support CPA firms that need deep IC-DISC expertise for their clients without trying to turn a general tax team into IC-DISC specialists overnight.
Whether you want a strategic partner behind the scenes or a specialist your clients can trust directly, ETM helps CPA firms extend their IC-DISC capabilities with experienced support.
We help with:
Your clients expect technical accuracy, responsiveness, and a process that does not create disruption. ETM is built to help CPA firms meet that expectation.

When an exporter client has a real IC-DISC opportunity, you need more than a surface-level answer. You need a specialist who can help structure the opportunity correctly, support compliance, and maximize the value over time.
