Unified Global Puts Filipino Tax Pros on Track with Pioneer U.S. Tax Workshop
Published: July 10, 2025
The world is vast, and so are the tax opportunities waiting for the talented pool of Filipino practitioners!
Last December, Unified Global recently launched its newest tax education series, TAX TRACKS: The Premier U.S. Tax Learning Experience, empowering a new wave of Filipino accounting professionals to enter the global stage.
Designed as an intensive learning experience, TAX TRACKS sought to be a launchpad for local talent to break into the high-demand world of U.S. taxation by giving them a glimpse of the tax market and the dynamic federal tax landscape of the United States.
Held at the OPL Building in the bustling business district of Makati City, the workshop attracted an eager cohort of accountants, CPAs, and tax specialists looking to sharpen their edge in the international tax arena. Led by Phuc Ly, a 17-year U.S. tax veteran from Alpha B Group, the seminar explored real-world scenarios, and covered IRS compliance, cross-border reporting, and client advisory essentials — all aligned with U.S. tax law.
Day One: Breaking the Basics
On the first day, attendees tackled the foundational knowledge of US tax, covering topics on types of income, understanding tax brackets, income tax and withholdings, and the often-cryptic comparisons between deductions and cedits, as well as traditional versus Roth IRAs.
Later in the day, Phuc then moved to real-life scenarios that dealt with tax implications. Particularly, he touched on 401(k) plan strategies, W2 benefits, capital gains from selling stocks, tax implications of marriage, and the tax considerations for first homebuyers.
Day Two: More Potential Tax Traps
That tone sustained by the second day, as the crowd continued to tackle more scenarios in which complex tax implications may arise.
For example, what are the tax implications of having children? How does one compute taxes in charitable donations? What are the tax considerations of rental properties? Which tax documents should one fill out when selling their first home?
There were also discussions on Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA, Schedule C, and backdoor Roth IRA strategies.
Throughout the session, Unified Global's facilitators placed strong emphasis on global career development, showing attendees how mastering U.S. tax compliance can open doors to international roles and remote service opportunities with global firms like Unified Global.
A Gateway for Filipinos to Global Greatness
As a thriving talent hub for tax mavens, the Philippines is full of professionals ready to break through the global arena. By investing in the market through high-value, high-impact, IRS-aligned tax training led by certified experts such as those from Alpha B Group's roster, we reveal a promising path for Filipinos who are technically competent and globally fluent.
In an increasingly borderless business environment, tax knowledge becomes currency. And Unified Global is proud to be one of the few firms actively cultivating that value where it matters most: on the ground, among the people, and ahead of the curve.
