How To Find The Best Expat Tax Service For Your Needs (opens in new tab)
What to look for in a US tax accountant when you live abroad.
For Americans living abroad: Your US tax accountant, wherever you live
- US CPAs and Enrolled Agents for Americans abroad
- No office to visit: we work online
- Across time zones, by call or email
We file US tax returns for Americans living outside the US, and that's all we do. Our team lives on 5 continents, so you can book a call at a time that suits you, or simply send us your question by email.
Two countries, two sets of tax rules
Keeping up with two tax systems is a lot. We take care of the US side:
“I have bank accounts outside the US”
We report them on the FBAR (the yearly report of foreign bank accounts) and on Form 8938 when it applies, together with your return.
“I own a business abroad”
We file the US forms for foreign companies, such as Form 5471, and show your company's income correctly on your US return.
“I own a US partnership or S corporation”
We prepare the business return (Form 1065 or 1120-S) and your personal return together, so the numbers match.
One team, many time zones
Our accountants live in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

Cesar, Ludmila, and the entire team have been incredibly helpful, thoroughly explaining the tax preparation process and tailoring their service to my specific needs as an expat. Their expertise has been invaluable in navigating complicated filings, giving me full confidence in the accuracy of my tax returns. The personalized attention and professional guidance I've received have made the often stressful task of managing taxes while living abroad much more manageable.

“My experience with Paula and Florencia was fantastic. I still can't believe I hesitated so long before finally going with them. I wondered if the money would be worth it, could they really actually help me save money in the long run? If you're having those same type of questions/doubts, I genuinely can't recommend them enough. They saved me so much money on my taxes, it was incredible. They are so knowledgeable about what they do and took the time to explain things to me every time I had a question. Thank you again for what you do!”

Our team of US tax accountants, which includes CPAs (Certified Public Accountants) and Enrolled Agents, tax professionals licensed by the IRS. US returns for people living abroad are all we do.

No, and you don't need one. We're an online firm: calls, email and sending your documents all happen online, so it doesn't matter which country you live in.
