Testimonials

What expats say about our experts

Your advisor answered all my questions, clearly and to my satisfaction.

Nicholas C.

Tax introduction in Thailand

Great service that connects you to people who can help to cut through complicated issues.

Sandy D.

Pensions introduction in United States

I'm very wary of website operations (particularly when it comes to government liaisons). But after a check-up on 'Experts for Expats' I decided to take the plunge. Since then I've been very pleased with the professional connection I was offered and the straight forward way it was presented.

Although I've not a lot of experience with this specialized type of service, I can say that if there's a better one on offer they had better be pretty f*cking good.

Michael C.

US Tax Matters introduction in United Kingdom

I highly recommend The service provided by Experts for Expats. They were quick, efficient and extremely helpful. I got all the answers I needed.

Jacinta G.

UK tax return introduction in Greece

The referral by Experts for Expats led me to a couple of advisers that provided exactly what I required. The adviser clarified what would be best for me as an individual with limited understanding of pension transfer implications and confirmed that I was correct in stepping away from what had been put in front of me by previous cold-callers.

Mark S.

Pensions introduction in North America

Very pleased with the introduction, whom I have now retained. I interviewed several prospects and they came out on top due to the crisp, concise answers they provide and the reasonableness of their fees.

Sylvia B.

Remittance Advice introduction in United States

What is so good about the advisor you pointed to is that he has extensive knowledge of both France and the UK, so he understands the financial set-up in both countries. I also liked him immediately when we met on Zoom for the first time. He grasped my situation and my priorities very quickly. If I have any reservation it is that he didn't always acknowledge and respond to my emails, but I do know that this is a crazy time for advisors with the Brexit deadline.

Alison D.

Assurance Vie introduction in United Kingdom

I appreciated the whole Introductory process. It was fast, efficient (lots of feedback) and professional. My query was answered by the recommended company within the 15 minute time frame. I have kept the accountant's name and contact details on record for future reference. This was a great way to locate a professional from a long way away. I am sure I will use the company again in the future.
