What U.S. Readiness Board Is
The ATA U.S. Readiness Board gives you three senior principals — a former 3-term U.S. Attorney General, a 28-year legal veteran who served as special advisor to the Governor of Utah, and a CPA who has been a CFO specialist for technology companies since 1987 — under one contract, meeting quarterly as a unified council.
Quarterly council sessions — all three principals
Regulatory strategy and compliance roadmap
Legal structure review and tax optimization
Financial compliance and investor-ready documentation
Government procurement readiness (SAM.gov, CAGE, federal pathways)
Credibility positioning and U.S. advisory board development

Banking and Finance
Bank account, payments, bookkeeping, tax, and payroll setup.
Talent and Operations
U.S. executive hiring, HR infrastructure, and PEO/EOR setup.
02
Pillar 02
Regulatory frameworks and compliance programs your sector requires.
Regulatory
FedRAMP, SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST, ITAR, and state compliance programs.
Immigration
O-1, L-1, and E-2 visas and work permits for founders and key personnel.

04

Fundraising Strategy
U.S. investor targeting, warm introductions, and pitch positioning.
The Challenge
Most international companies either have no U.S. advisory, or have three separate advisors with no shared context and no unified output. Neither approach moves the company forward at the pace the U.S. market requires.
Hiring three separate advisors — legal, regulatory, financial — means three separate retainers, three separate onboarding processes, and no shared context. You spend your time coordinating advisors instead of building your business.
International companies operating in the U.S. without a properly constituted advisory board — with real principals and documented governance — signal immaturity to investors, agencies, and enterprise buyers.
Market entry strategy from advisors without government or institutional credibility is easy to dismiss. Advice lands differently when it comes from a former U.S. Attorney General and a 28-year legal veteran.
Most companies check in with advisors too infrequently to make real progress. A structured quarterly council — with a prepared agenda, shared context, and unified output — moves the needle every session.
