I guess related to all tax/business questions "talk to a professional" means "talk to an accountant". An Estonian accountant sounds like a good choice.

As in most (all?) EU countries, all tax/business related work passes through an accountant. Am I right to believe this is different in the US? At least for one-man/small businesses?

Not sure what you mean by "passes through an accountant." In the US, a small business is typically not required to hire an accountant but it's probably a good idea--especially once you have employees and are dealing with payroll taxes, etc. Personally I've always used one even for personal taxes.
