A note from The Wandering Investor

After graduating from Bishop’s University, I completed a postgraduate program in international business and law at The University of Sydney in Australia. I then joined Nestlé, which led to an expatriate career that took me to Switzerland and several West African countries. This eventually resulted in me joining the executive board of Nestlé Ghana, where I oversaw operations across West Africa.

After 7 years of climbing the corporate ladder, I left and have since then been traveling with my family actively managing my money by doing real estate deals all over the world. Over my lifetime, I’ve traveled to over 100 countries, lived in over a dozen, and conducted business in dozens.

I now have multiple citizenships, residencies, as well as bank accounts and real estate all over the world. Importantly, I am structured in a way that I legally pay very little taxes.

I know many Americans want to leave the U.S. for a host of reasons, but it can be confusing. The process can be a bit scary, and there are so many options out there that it is overwhelming at times.

  • Where should I move?
  • What are the tax implications?
  • Do I need multiple residencies and citizenships or should I keep things simple?
  • Where should I bank?

These are just some of the questions and we work with a dedicated consulting service for Americans to live a better lifestyle and lower your taxes. 

From navigating the US tax laws to establishing a global presence with strategic investments. Whether you’re aiming for an early retirement, seeking financial efficiency, or longing for a life in a more fulfilling culture, our partners can help facilitate your process.

Should you renounce US citizenship or keep you US citizenship? These are the type of crucial discussions that must take place in a calm and rational setting.

Our partners will help you find the right place(s) for your financial and lifestyle objectives.
