The Story Behind Stateside

Stateside founder Stephanie Stickler is a Canadian citizen who moved to Delaware to attend the University of Delaware for her accounting degree. While living in Delaware she met her now husband who is an American.  She obtained her CPA while working in a firm downtown Wilmington, Delaware. At Belfint, Lyons & Shuman is where she found a love for preparing US taxes. She was later employed at Dupont Teijin Films headquartered in Wilmington and obtained her MBA from Drexel University. It was in 2002 that her husband became a permanent resident to Canada and they moved back to Stephanie’s hometown of Belleville, Ontario. As they crossed the US border she stated “well what a waste of time it was for me to have obtain my CPA.”

In 2003, Stephanie started preparing US returns for Canadians that owned US rental properties. It was in 2009 that the phone started ringing non-stop as Americans living in Canada became aware that they were required to file a US return even though they had not earned any income in the US.
