British expats living abroad often find the standard of financial advice available is very different to the UK, where financial advisors are required to operate under the watchful eye of the UK regulators, the Financial Conduct Authority.
We’ve spoken to hundreds of expats since 2012 who have received poor financial advice normally as a result of unsolicited sales approaches.
As a result, we created our report into The State of Financial Advice for British Expats to highlight the unique financial challenges faced by expats and provide insight into how you can seek trustworthy financial advice.
Read our summary of the report, which includes insight and essential tips for expats, and provides a general overview of the current state of financial advice as experienced by British expats around the world.
If you are seeking financial advice from independent financial advisors we have a range of resources and articles available including a free introduction service which will connect you to one of our trusted partners.

Terrhi H.
Inheritance tax and estate planning introduction in United Kingdom
The expert was very friendly, helpful and precise in answering my questions on the rules on residence and domicile, and their effects on tax status, for UK-US dual citizens like myself and my wife. I was stimulated to confirm the salient points on Gov.UK. This has allowed us to plan our future stays in the US and UK.
Donald T.
UK/US Tax matters introduction in United States
The consultant gave sound and relevant advice without trying to sell me services. His advice gave me the information and approach for my next step. He advised I try myself but made it clear he could help further if I needed it - and as precise and clear about the cost of using his services for the next step. Couldn't have been better.
Ivor M.
Double Tax Relief introduction in Portugal
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.

Yes, I would definitely recommend Experts for Expats, I was very impressed with the consultation, what really stood out was the consultant’s in-depth knowledge, his friendliness and the clarity of the information he provided (he scored 10 out of 10, in my book).
