Overview
High Street Partner’s mission is to help management teams build successful strategies for international expansion and to manage them efficiently. Our significant, real-world knowledge of the challenges and frustrations companies face as they expand overseas or as they manage existing international operations makes us a true partner to the HQ team, and our experience gives them a place to turn to help avoid potential problems.We have developed a proven methodology for addressing client needs, whether they have operations in multiple countries or a single overseas employee. In every case, we act as an extension of the internal finance and HR teams, freeing them to focus their time and energy on core competencies and value-adding tasks. HSP’s involvement allows employees overseas to concentrate on business development, strategic planning, R&D, marketing and sales while we take care of international support and management functions quickly, accurately and cost-effectively.
Improved Business Focus
Our cross-border solutions enable the HQ finance and HR teams to quickly and efficiently implement expansion plans, establish appropriate entities, get overseas employees paid, and navigate unfamiliar overseas tax codes and compliance regulations. Outsourcing these functions to High Street Partners delivers tangible ROI and better value than adding infrastructure internally. Companies keep the permanent headcount at headquarters low while they improve process and gain access to best practice consultants around the world with up-to-the minute industry knowledge and training.

"I long sought a solution provider like High Street Partners that allowed a single source for world wide support, as opposed to procuring individual firms in each individual location. High Street has experts on the ground - local supports – as well as a single, central administration point."
-Frank Hillery - Corporate Controller - Color Kinetics (now Philips) – Boston
"High Street Partners helped us smoothly establish a presence in Asia. In short order they coordinated three payrolls and now take care of the reporting and compliance requirements for a dozen employees not only in Shenzhen, but in Hong Kong and Taiwan as well. They have been the right partner for our HQ finance team and they’ve helped us get off on the right foot overseas by coordinating with local service providers in Asia."
