I provide turnkey, A-to-Z guidance for founders, families, and organizations that need more than basic form filing. My work focuses on building compliant structures that actually work together long-term. Founder Logistics & U.S. Administrative Support
Many international founders require ongoing logistical support after forming a U.S. entity. In addition to formation and compliance consulting, I can assist with coordination of:
• U.S. business address and mail handling
• digital mail scanning and compliance notifications
• IRS and state correspondence monitoring
• registered agent coordination
• international document forwarding
• U.S. courier and document logistics
• coordination with CPAs, attorneys, and banking institutions
My services are often bundled alongside entity formation and cross-border compliance consulting.
I’m James Rose, an IRS PTIN-certified tax preparer and strategist with over 20 years of experience helping U.S. and international clients design, form, file, and reorganize for-profits, nonprofits, trusts, and multi-entity structures. This includes forward-looking tax planning, compliance, and required federal and state filings.
I’m semi-retired from traditional practice, which means my focus is not volume or speed, but thoughtful structure, clarity, and long-term sustainability for each client.
As part of my strategic approach, I also prioritize direct conversation, by video or call, so you know exactly who you’re working with and how I approach your project.
Why Work With Me
• I prepare a clear executive summary in advance outlining your specific structure
• 20+ years of hands-on experience, not a side service
• U.S. and foreign founder structures (for-profit, nonprofit, trust)
• Plain-English explanations of the what-if's, when’s, and how’s
• Strategy driven work, not assembly-line filings
What I Deliver (ALL Filing Fee's Included In My Quotes)
• Entity formation and restructuring (LLCs, C-Corps, S-Corps, 501 nonprofits)
• Revocable and irrevocable trusts, including IP and family structures
• Articles, bylaws, resolutions, minutes, and governance documents
• EIN's, IRS and state filings, and ongoing compliance
• IRS Forms 1040 / 1120 / 1065 / 1023 / 1023-EZ / 990 / 941, etc. and required tax returns
• Strategic consultations focused on compliance and forward looking strategic planning
Your End Result
Clients receive startegic & well-structured entities positioned for approval, sustainability, and long-term success, not just this year, but moving forward.
I’m happy to answer questions and help you determine the right structure for your goals in an Upwork chat, audio, or video call.

Anabel Evora – Professional Introduction
With over 15 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, grant development, and philanthropic strategy, I bring a proven record of writing and securing high-impact grants, cultivating transformational gifts, and leading campaigns that surpass goals. My career has been defined by aligning mission with generosity—whether guiding clients as a consultant, writing successful proposals, or stewarding multimillion-dollar portfolios within organizations.
As a fundraising consultant and philanthropy advisor, I have supported organizations such as Harlem Wellness Center, Harlem Jets, and Spike’s K9 Fund, Mil Mujeres, and World History Encyclopedia developing comprehensive fundraising plans and strategies that integrate grant writing, major gifts, and donor stewardship. My work includes creating fundraising plans, prospect research, grant proposal writing, digital campaigns, and coaching boards and staff. These efforts have delivered measurable results—boosting revenue and retention, diversifying income streams, and expanding visibility for causes spanning human rights, wellness, the arts, and animal welfare.
My grant writing success includes securing a $300,000 grant from the Center for Disaster Philanthropy for Habitat for Humanity of Florida, supporting post-disaster rebuilding efforts across the state. At Harlem Wellness Center, I have written and secured grants that expanded holistic health and racial healing programs in underserved New York communities. Currently, I oversee the grant-seeking and proposal development efforts for the Harlem Jets, helping fund programs that empower youth through sports, mentorship, and education.
Equally, my work in major gifts and donor development has produced transformative results. As Director of Philanthropy at the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, I built an individual giving program from the ground up, surpassing a $2.225M goal by $225K—the strongest fundraising year in the organization’s history. As Chief Philanthropy Officer at Remote Area Medical, I implemented a major gifts strategy that increased revenue from $2.6M to $4.1M in just 18 months, including a record $500K gift from a first-time supporter.
At the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, I secured major corporate gifts of $25K, $100K, and $250K, while launching Café con SHPE, an innovative engagement model that built relationships with corporate partners and employee resource groups. At The Everglades Foundation, I managed a $12M donor portfolio and led a team of seven fundraisers to expand donor engagement and acquisition. Earlier, as Campaign Director with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, I coached community leaders through a record-breaking campaign that raised $600K in 10 weeks—an 18% year-over-year increase that earned a top national ranking for the chapter.
I bring deep expertise in Raiser’s Edge, Sumac, Bloomerang, and wealth-screening tools, along with strong writing, coaching, and public speaking skills. My approach blends empathy with data-informed strategy, ensuring every proposal, campaign, or donor interaction reflects authenticity, clarity, and measurable impact.
I would be honored to bring this breadth of grant writing expertise and major gifts leadership to your organization. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can help secure the resources needed to advance your mission.

I use the skills I developed in a 40-year academic career in two ways. First, I work with masters and doctoral students who need help with organizing, editing, proofing and formatting their projects. Second, I also assist nonprofits that need help with grant writing, program planning, and program evaluation.
My background prepared me for this type of work. I had careers as a journalist, special events director for a national retail chain, nonprofit administrator, university professor (all three ranks), academic dean, and nonprofit consultant.
Currently, I am on the faculty of an online university in Germany and coach masters and doctoral student though their research projects and teach a class in academic writing. I love working with students and I give them the confidence they need to get to the finish line.

I help nonprofits and NGOs turn grant ideas into fundable proposals, especially when previous applications were rejected or felt unclear.
My focus is on aligning your project with funder priorities, strengthening the problem statement, and making budgets defensible.
If you’re applying to foundation, federal, or international grants, I can either write the proposal or review and strengthen what you already have.
