Another Newbie needs Directions

[mgrond]

I am poking around the Mentor Group, which I just joined, but am still feeling like I need some guide about "what "to look for and "where" to find it. I am trying to structure a company and bank account (likely offshore). Is there any place that I can get an hour of someone's time to orient me and at least point me in the right direction if not tell me what I should be looking for and where I can find this info?

Here is what I am needing:
1)I want the offshore company to hold ownership that I may receive in a USA LLC so that I don't get stuck with taxes on the value of my ownership distribution at this point as this won't generate any revenue until the company is sold. If I take ownership directly, then I would owe taxes immediately even though I receive no cash. This way the company owns the LLC, and only earns a payout if there is a liquidity event, in which case there is money to pay taxes. I could take that money out of the offshore company at that point and then pay taxes as needed.
2) I want to use the company for consulting revenue that I will earn when I move abroad In next year to minimize US taxes ( I am a US citizen but plan to move to E.U. country at least part time starting next year and full time in the future) Ideally I want a company that hold revenue and pays me a percentage of the revenue now, and the rest later when I have a lower tax burden
3)I don't want the company's assets tied to me in tax documentation or any other easily traceable way so that my ex wife's lawyers can not go after them to get her more money

Fundamentally, I am not looking to totally avoid taxes (e.g. abandon US Citizenship), but rather 1)shelter assets, and 2)optimize tax by shifting income timing

What is the best way to talk to someone to get the base information down? I would be willing to pay for an hour of consulting, or review threads in this forum if someone can direct me to the right areas for this.

Hello,

Before you go and pay anyone then wait and see if someone around here can't help you. I know there are people here like @Martin Everson @Gediminas and more that have great knowledge about exactly what it is you want to do.

Regardless who you will be speaking to I would consult a local tax adviser too, because one think is your corporate structure but another thing is your personal tax liabilities which may apply in such setups.

Thank you @Admin! Is the post above the best way to get access to that knowledge? I am talking to a local CPA about my taxes, but he can't advise me on a structure. I would like to have a structure, then bring it to him to confirm tax liabilities based on that structure.
