What annoys us is that we've been given very little time to set anything up and having spoken to accountants here.. we won't be double taxed.

You only won't be double taxed if you don't have to pay taxes in your country.
Welcome to the world of doing business in the US.
Your company receives money from doing business in the US. It has to pay a tax on whatever money it receives.
Then that company either has to transfer what is left over to your company's bank in another country, or issue you a paycheck.
In either case, when the money falls into your hands, you are then required to pay income tax on that money.
Again, unless you have no income tax... you *will* be taxed twice... all US businesses have to pay taxes.
I suggest that you consult with US accountants on this, not accountants from your own country. If your business has a "presence" in the US that is receiving monies, and it doesn't file tax papers and pay the taxes due from that company, the IRS will shut you down and sue you for all taxes owed *plus* interest which accrues *daily*.
