HAVANA, Cuba – The United States is ending its 55-year trade embargo on Cuba. An embassy has been opened in Havana, and Cuba is opening its doors to American business.

The blockade isn’t down yet, but it is being dismantled as fast as Washington politics allows. It isn’t too soon to start looking for opportunities for international growth just 90 miles off the coast of the United States.

Among the opportunities for both American and Cuban accountants are:

  • American and Cuban CPA firms serving Cuban-American enterprises and ventures.
  • Americans wishing to learn more about business in Cuba.
  • Cubans wishing to learn more about American accountancy and business
  • American companies wishing to open branches, subsidiaries, and other entities in Cuba
  • Other non-accounting services that accountants often offer, from IT to payroll to valuation

Do not underestimate the professional capacity of Cuban accountants.
