First-hand experience
We have lived in the destinations we advise on. We know which neighborhoods, schools, and attorneys really work, and which surprises only show up after the visa is approved.

By then they had compared Portugal to Italy three times and had were not sure which fit. Fifty hours of YouTube videos hadn’t solved it either. Our experts are uniquely qualified to end that loop. After a single conversation, you get your three best-fit countries and programs, costs and timelines, and a candid read on whether each makes sense for your family.
Candid recommendations
About a third of inquiries end with our recommendation against engagement. We tell you when a different program, a different country, or simply waiting six months is the better answer.
Pro counsel from the start
Every engagement moves forward with US-licensed counsel from the first call. The IRS-side implications are planned before the application is filed, not after.
Choose your own path abroad
Thirty-five programs across four continents. Each one a live client engagement we have advised, not a brochure pulled from a brochure.

Most families we take on have 3 or 4 goals across 3 or 4 countries. Private Client puts all of it under one case director for 12 months. One goal only? Book that single service.
The expensive mistakes happen in the gaps between experts. Your Lisbon attorney has never met your US CPA, and when a banker in Zurich proposes a structure, the attorney throws it out 3 weeks later. A tax election filed a month late costs 5 figures. Filing a residency before your state exit? More.

Independent licensed professionals do the regulated work in each jurisdiction. Your case director sequences every one of them, so a tax election never arrives after the residency that depended on it.
Private Client earns its fee when you have several goals across several countries. One goal in one country? Overkill, and we will say so on the call.
“The Private Client Engagement has been perfect for our unique situation. James is the total quarterback of our whole Plan B strategy.”
One clear goal? Book the service on its own. You get the same partner network, scoped to one outcome, with a fixed quote in writing before any work begins.

“Most of our clients wrestled with this idea for years before they finally took action. It’s almost never one singular event that triggers it. It’s a slow realization that everything they’ve built is exposed to just one country, one tax system, and one set of political winds.”
From our clients
“You come across as very genuine, authentic, and easy to deal with. Most experiences I've had with others are like, 'Send me money and I'll tell you what to do.'”
