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.
