Testimonials

What expats say about our experts

I had the most comprehensive advice when compared to other potential providers. The session was the length required for my enquiry - not limited to 15 minutes. The advice included elements I could do myself, ie at no fee. Various options I wasn't aware of were raised and explored.

Caroline T.

Common Reporting Standard introduction in United Kingdom

I found the initial response from both Experts for Expats and the Consultant to be excellent. Since I am already abroad the consultant arranged the consultation via Zoom. It proved possible to resolve my issue within the initial consultation. It was however apparent that the consultant has the necessary knowledge to assist further if this becomes necessary. In that case I will not hesitate to contact the same consultant again.
