Testimonials

What expats say about our experts

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.

Uk Tax Return introduction in Netherlands

I have actually already recommended the site to someone else in a similar situation to me. I did quite a bit of searching, and Experts for Expats was one of the many sites I engaged with. However after the responses from everyone, there was absolutely no doubt in my mind that this was the best service.
