American Expat CPA was born from the real-world experience of navigating the complexities of U.S. taxes while living abroad. We are dedicated to providing the specialized financial guidance that individuals and freelancers need to thrive internationally.
Our journey as a U.S. citizens abroad revealed the unique financial challenges our community faces—from confusing filing requirements to the constant worry of non-compliance. I established this firm with a simple mission: to make U.S. tax compliance straightforward and stress-free for every American living overseas.
We believe that expert tax advice should be accessible and personal. Our approach is built on a direct, one-on-one relationship with a CPA who intimately understands the expat experience. We leverage modern, secure technology to make collaboration seamless across any distance or time zone.
As U.S. Licensed CPAs, we specialize exclusively in taxation for American expatriates. This focus includes navigating Foreign Bank Account Reporting (FBAR), the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), foreign tax credits, and maximizing benefits like the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.
More than just tax preparers, we aim to be your trusted financial partners abroad. We are here to answer your questions in English and German, help you plan for the future, and provide the assurance you need to fully enjoy your global life, knowing your U.S. financial obligations are in expert hands.
