Winston Yen is a partner in Bernstein & Pinchuk, LLP’s Los Angeles office, where he specializes in cross-border tax and pre- and post-immigration financial planning and tax consulting. With decades of experience working closely with Chinese clients, Mr. Yen is an expert in inbound investment into the U.S. by investors from the Greater China region and the U.S. tax implications of outbound investment in China. Mr. Yen’s clientele includes hundreds of international investors who have received their Green Card via the EB-5 immigration program as a result of his support (the EB-5 visa is available for individuals who invest $500K in U.S.-based projects, which provides stimulation to the local economy).

Before joining Bernstein & Pinchuk, LLP, Mr. Yen was the founder of ACCellence, LLP, where he provided accounting and tax services to small- to-mid-sized local and international businesses and their owners. In operation from 2006, ACCellence, LLP worked with Los Angeles-area clients with close ties to Greater China. He has served as the Chief Financial Officer for a NYSE-listed company and held the position of director at a NASDAQ-listed organization; as a result of the expertise gained at these positions, Mr. Yen presently serves as an ‘external CFO’ for a number of long-term clients who look to him for business or financial advice. Additionally, he provides financial consulting services to various U.S. public companies. Early in his career, he worked as a senior tax manager at several large regional and national public accounting firms.
