Abstract
This study investigates the pivotal role of niche accounting firms in facilitating the economic integration and upward mobility of Brazilian immigrants in the United States. Through a qualitative case study approach, the article explores how culturally aligned accounting professionals bridge regulatory, linguistic, and informational gaps faced by immigrant entrepreneurs. Drawing on theories of ethnic entrepreneurship, service differentiation, and digital transformation, the research identifies how bilingual and bicultural accounting services enhance business formalization and financial inclusion. The findings demonstrate that these firms serve not only as technical advisors but also as socio-cultural mediators, contributing to inclusive economic growth in immigrant communities. Policy recommendations include formal recognition of bilingual competencies and enhanced support for immigrant-serving professional firms.
