Our accountants are happy to speak to you directly to answer any questions you may have or advise on tax planning strategies. We are based in the US so while we will do everything we can to accommodate time zones, there may be some situations where it’s more practical to do an email based consultation. Allow at least one week advance notice (and more when close to tax deadlines) to speak with an accountant.
Any topic you choose, the most common ones are:
- Reviewing employment contracts. Usually 60 mins
- Late Filer Situation Assessments. Usually 60 mins
- Tax Planning. Usually 30 mins

Comparing our expatriate tax services pricing to other providers?
Make sure you check the details. Most expatriate tax services companies have a standard “starting” rate for their expatriate tax services that increases with each form and schedule you need to do. That will just leave you open to hidden fees and a huge bill at the end of the process.
We’re really proud of the quality of the expatriate tax services we provide to our customers and promise you won’t be disappointed! If for any reason our services does not meet your expectations, we offer a full 30-day money-back guarantee. Head on over to our Customer Reviews section to learn about what our current customers love about our expatriate tax services.
If there are any expat tax services you require assistance with that aren’t listed above, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
