Step 1: Assess financial positions and cross-border needs
Before you can build a coherent wealth management strategy across borders, you need a complete picture of where you stand financially. This isn’t just about adding up your bank accounts and investment portfolios—it’s about understanding how your assets interact across different countries, tax systems, and regulatory environments. As an American expatriate relocating to France, Portugal, or Spain, your financial situation is now more complex than it was back home. You have assets in the United States, potential income streams across multiple jurisdictions, and exposure to currency fluctuations that directly affect your purchasing power. The first step is to inventory everything.
Start by gathering all your financial documents in one place. This includes bank statements from accounts in the United States and Europe, investment statements covering stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or pension accounts like your 401(k), real estate holdings in both countries, insurance policies, business interests if you own a company, and any outstanding debts or mortgages. Don’t skip the smaller accounts—that dormant savings account from five years ago matters because it has tax implications. Once you’ve documented what you own, identify which accounts are held where and in which currency. This matters enormously because cross-border financial planning requires understanding how currency exposure affects your net worth and retirement projections.
Next, assess your income sources across borders. Are you receiving a pension from a United States employer? Do you earn consulting income in dollars but pay living expenses in euros? Are you selling a property and expecting a one-time gain in dollars? Your income situation directly determines your tax obligations in each country and influences whether you’ll need to file returns in multiple jurisdictions. Document the source, timing, and currency of each income stream. Then, evaluate your tax residency and obligations—a question that’s surprisingly complicated for expats. You may be a tax resident in your new country whilst maintaining certain United States tax obligations, particularly regarding worldwide income or foreign financial accounts. Understanding financial due diligence practices and cross-border reporting requirements prevents costly mistakes later.
Here’s what your financial assessment should cover:
All bank accounts with balances and account types (checking, savings, investment)
Investment accounts including retirement funds, brokerage accounts, and pension schemes
Property ownership with estimated current values in local currency
Outstanding mortgages, loans, or other liabilities across jurisdictions
Annual income sources in each country or currency
Insurance policies including life, health, and property coverage
Retirement account details including 401(k)s, IRAs, or equivalent European pension schemes
Current tax filings in each country where you hold residency or citizenship
Your cross-border needs assessment is equally important. Beyond your current financial position, identify what you’re trying to achieve. Are you planning to retire in Europe in fifteen years? Do you want to buy property in Portugal and eventually pass it to your children? Will you return to the United States at some point, or is Europe now home permanently? Are you concerned about currency risk affecting your purchasing power? Each goal shapes your wealth management strategy differently. Someone retiring in Spain needs different planning than someone maintaining flexibility to relocate. Your timeline matters too—short-term goals like purchasing a home require a different approach than long-term retirement planning.
Documenting your complete financial picture across borders takes time, but this foundation makes every decision that follows easier and more confident. Without it, you’re essentially planning in the dark.
Once you understand your full financial position and your cross-border goals, you’ll know whether you need specialised advice on tax optimisation, currency hedging, investment management, or estate planning. You might discover that you need help with all of these areas. That’s normal for expats in your situation. The clarity you gain in this assessment step prevents you from overpaying for services you don’t actually need while ensuring you get expert guidance where it genuinely matters.
Pro tip: Use a spreadsheet or dedicated financial tracking tool to organise your cross-border assets by country, currency, and account type—this document becomes invaluable when consulting with financial advisers and ensures nothing gets overlooked during planning discussions.
Step 2: Identify regulated cross-border financial advisers
Now that you understand your financial position and cross-border goals, you need to find advisers who can actually help you execute your strategy. This is where many expats stumble. You cannot simply hire the financial adviser you trusted back in the United States—they likely lack the expertise, licensure, and regulatory approval to advise you on European tax matters, cross-border investment strategies, or retirement planning under two different systems. You need advisers who are regulated in the jurisdictions where you hold assets and understand the specific challenges of American expatriates living in France, Portugal, or Spain.
Start by identifying what types of advisers you actually need. Your assessment from Step 1 revealed your gaps. Do you need a tax specialist who understands United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requirements and European tax treaties? A wealth manager who can optimise your investment portfolio across currencies? An estate planning attorney familiar with inheritance law in multiple countries? A mortgage specialist if you’re buying property in Europe? Most expats need multiple advisers working together, not a single generalist. The key is finding regulated professionals in each area rather than settling for someone with partial knowledge.
When searching for advisers, verify their regulatory status first. Every country has a financial supervisory authority that maintains a register of licensed professionals. The United States has the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). France has the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF). Spain has the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV). Portugal has the Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários (CMVM). These bodies maintain public registries where you can confirm that an adviser holds an active license. Don’t skip this step. Anyone claiming to offer financial advice without displaying their regulatory credentials is a red flag. Financial supervisory authorities worldwide maintain these databases for exactly this reason—transparency protects you.
Beyond basic regulatory status, investigate the adviser’s specific experience with cross-border clients. Ask directly: “How many American expatriates have you advised in the past three years?” Someone who has guided ten expats through similar situations brings practical knowledge that pure theoretical training cannot. Ask about their approach to harmonised regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions—advisers familiar with how different countries coordinate financial oversight can help you navigate overlapping requirements more efficiently. Find out whether they work with other specialists. A tax adviser who collaborates with investment managers and estate planners signals a coordinated approach rather than siloed advice.
Here’s how to vet potential advisers:
Verify their regulatory licence through the official authority in their country
Check their professional qualifications and certifications relevant to your needs
Ask for references from current or past expatriate clients in your situation
Confirm whether they hold errors and omissions insurance protecting clients
Understand their fee structure—fixed fees, percentage of assets under management, hourly rates, or commissions
Clarify how they handle conflicts of interest and whether they operate on a fiduciary basis
Confirm they provide written engagement letters defining the scope of their work
One crucial consideration is whether you need local advisers in each country or a coordinating adviser based in one location. Many expats use a primary adviser in their new country (handling local tax and property matters) plus specialists back in the United States (managing 401(k) rollovers, FATCA compliance, and investment accounts). The primary adviser acts as coordinator, ensuring nothing falls through cracks between jurisdictions. This approach costs more but prevents costly mistakes arising from incomplete communication.
A regulated adviser with experience serving American expatriates is not an expense—they’re an investment that prevents far costlier errors in tax planning, currency management, and cross-border compliance.
Once you’ve identified several candidates, schedule free initial consultations. Most regulated advisers offer this without obligation. Use these conversations to assess whether they truly understand your situation, whether you feel comfortable working with them, and whether their approach aligns with your goals. Pay attention to how they explain complex matters. If you leave the conversation more confused than when you arrived, that adviser is not right for you. Look for professionals who translate complexity into clarity and ask thoughtful questions about your priorities rather than immediately pitching solutions.
Professional tip: Request a written proposal from each adviser outlining their services, fees, timeline, and expected outcomes—comparing these documents side by side reveals which adviser best understands your cross-border situation and whether their pricing aligns with your budget.
Step 3: Integrate tax and investment strategies effectively
Tax and investment decisions cannot exist in separate silos. When you move to Europe as an American expatriate, every investment choice carries tax consequences, and every tax decision influences where your money should be deployed. This integration is where most expats leave money on the table or inadvertently create compliance problems. You need a coordinated strategy where your tax adviser and investment manager work from the same playbook, ensuring your portfolio reflects both growth objectives and tax efficiency across jurisdictions.
Start by understanding your tax position across both countries. As an American expatriate, you remain a United States tax resident and must report worldwide income to the IRS. Simultaneously, you’re likely a tax resident in your new country (France, Portugal, or Spain), triggering tax obligations there as well. The good news is that tax treaties between the United States and these countries prevent double taxation. The challenge is using those treaties correctly. You might have the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion available in the United States system, allowing you to exclude a portion of foreign earnings from United States taxation. Or you might benefit more from the Foreign Tax Credit, allowing you to credit taxes paid to your new country against United States taxes. Which approach works better depends entirely on your income level, source, and investment returns. Your tax adviser needs to model both scenarios annually because the right answer changes as your circumstances evolve.
Once you understand your baseline tax situation, your investment strategy must align with it. International tax frameworks determine how different types of investment income are taxed across jurisdictions. Dividend income, capital gains, interest, and rental income each face different tax treatments depending on where they’re earned and held. For example, interest earned in a European bank account is typically taxed as ordinary income in both the United States and your current country. But capital gains in a tax-advantaged account might receive preferential treatment in one country but not the other. Knowing this, your investment manager can structure your portfolio to capture gains in the most tax-efficient locations. A United States-focused portfolio held in a taxable brokerage account might generate different outcomes than a European investment account, even if the underlying investments are identical.
Here are the key integration points between tax and investment strategy:
Determine whether the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion or Foreign Tax Credit better reduces your United States tax liability
Analyse how capital gains from investments are taxed in each jurisdiction and time realisation accordingly
Structure investment accounts across countries to optimise tax treatment of different income types
Review whether retirement accounts (401(k)s, IRAs, European pension schemes) maintain tax advantages across borders
Evaluate whether holding investments through a business structure or personally creates tax benefits or complications
Consider currency hedging strategies that minimise tax complications whilst protecting against exchange rate losses
Review how charitable donations, business losses, or other tax deductions function across your dual tax residency
One common mistake is failing to coordinate investment timing with tax planning. Suppose you’re considering selling a concentrated position in United States company stock to diversify your portfolio. Your investment manager sees this as a portfolio improvement. But your tax adviser might identify that realising the gain triggers significant United States capital gains tax, and depending on your overall income, potentially subjects you to net investment income tax. Now compound that across two jurisdictions with different tax years. The real question becomes not “Should we sell?” but “When should we sell, in which account, and how do we structure it to minimise tax leakage?” These answers require collaboration between advisers.
Integrating tax and investment strategy means your advisers consult each other before major decisions. If your investment manager and tax adviser rarely communicate, your strategy isn’t actually integrated—it’s just two separate plans that happen to exist simultaneously.
The concept of global minimum tax policies and evolving international tax rules adds another layer. Recent changes to how countries coordinate taxation mean certain strategies that worked five years ago may no longer apply. Your advisers need to stay current with these changes and recalibrate your approach annually. This isn’t something you do once and forget. Tax law changes, investment markets shift, your personal circumstances evolve, and your strategy needs to adapt accordingly.
Asking your advisers practical questions reveals whether they’re truly integrated. Ask: “How does my investment performance this year affect my tax return next year?” “If I move 200,000 euros from my French account to my United States brokerage, what are the tax implications?” “How should I structure realising losses to offset gains across both jurisdictions?” “Which retirement accounts should I prioritise funding, given my current tax situation?” Good answers show deep coordination. Vague answers or responses that focus only on one jurisdiction signal misalignment.
Professional tip: Request a quarterly coordination meeting where your tax adviser and investment manager sit down together to review your portfolio performance, upcoming tax obligations, and whether any tactical adjustments could improve after-tax returns—this preventative approach catches opportunities that siloed advisers would miss.
Step 4: Ensure compliance with local and international regulations
Compliance isn’t something that happens once and then you move on. As an American expatriate managing wealth across borders, you’re subject to overlapping regulatory frameworks that demand ongoing attention. Miss a reporting deadline, file a form incorrectly, or hold an investment that violates local restrictions, and you face penalties ranging from minor fines to serious legal consequences. The good news is that compliance becomes manageable when you understand what’s required and build systems to track it systematically.
Start by identifying every regulatory obligation you face across your jurisdictions. As a United States citizen living in France, Portugal, or Spain, you must comply with United States requirements, your new country’s requirements, and often European Union-wide regulations. United States obligations include filing Federal Income Tax returns, reporting foreign bank accounts through the Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR), filing the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) forms if your accounts exceed thresholds, and disclosing foreign financial assets if your net worth surpasses certain limits. Your new country requires income tax returns, social security contributions, wealth tax declarations (in some cases), and property tax filings. The European Union adds layers of financial reporting, anti-money laundering compliance, and investment regulations. It’s a lot, and the requirements shift as tax law changes. Your advisers should maintain a compliance calendar showing every filing deadline, required documentation, and reporting threshold relevant to your situation.
Beyond the filings themselves, understand the operational compliance requirements your advisers must follow. When you open a bank account in Europe, the institution conducts Know Your Customer (KYC) checks and reports your accounts to tax authorities through the Common Reporting Standard (CRS). When you invest, your adviser must verify that investments comply with regulations in both jurisdictions. Many United States investment products cannot be sold to European residents due to European Union investor protection rules. Your adviser needs to navigate these restrictions, ensuring your portfolio remains legally compliant across borders. Effective compliance frameworks require real-time regulatory adherence and monitoring rather than retroactive corrections after problems appear. This means your advisers should have systems in place to flag compliance issues before they become violations.
Here’s what your compliance framework should cover:
Annual income tax filings in each country where you’re tax resident
Foreign asset reporting thresholds and deadlines in the United States and Europe
Pension and retirement account regulatory requirements across jurisdictions
Investment restrictions based on your residency and citizenship status
Currency transaction reporting and anti-money laundering obligations
Wealth tax declarations if applicable in your country of residence
Charitable donation substantiation across different tax systems
Property ownership disclosure and real estate transfer tax compliance
Changes in tax residency status and associated notification requirements
One critical compliance area many expats overlook involves retirement accounts. Your United States 401(k) or IRA has specific rules about withdrawals, contributions, and transfers. Moving to Europe doesn’t eliminate these rules. In fact, holding United States retirement accounts whilst living abroad creates additional complexity around foreign account reporting and potential tax treaty interactions. Some expats make withdrawals thinking they’ll escape United States taxation because they live overseas—they’re wrong. Your retirement account remains subject to United States tax regardless of your location. The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion doesn’t apply to retirement account distributions. You need advisers who understand these nuances and prevent costly mistakes.
Another compliance consideration involves your investments themselves. Certain investments popular in the United States cannot legally be held by European residents. For example, some United States mutual funds cannot be marketed to European investors under European Union regulations, even though American citizens living in Europe can technically hold them. The regulatory landscape creates grey areas where technically legal doesn’t equal practically wise. Your advisers should steer you toward investments that are unambiguously compliant in both jurisdictions rather than exploiting loopholes that tax authorities might later challenge.
The ICMA Private Wealth Management Charter of Quality establishes best practice principles for cross-border wealth management, emphasising integrity, transparency, and professional standards. Quality advisers adhere to these principles, meaning they proactively communicate compliance requirements, document their advice, maintain clear records, and update you when regulations change. They don’t wait for you to ask whether new rules affect you—they tell you.
Compliance isn’t burdensome when advisers build it into their processes from day one. It only becomes painful when you discover problems years later during an audit or when moving money.
Regulatory requirements change annually. Tax law modifications, treaty updates, and reporting threshold adjustments happen constantly. Your compliance calendar needs updating every year, not every decade. Schedule an annual compliance review with your advisers where you specifically discuss regulatory changes that affect your situation. Ask: “Have any tax law changes in the United States or my current country affected how I should file or report?” “Are there new reporting thresholds I need to monitor?” “Have investment restrictions changed for my residency status?” These conversations prevent surprises.
Finally, maintain excellent records. Keep copies of every tax filing, bank statement, investment account statement, and correspondence with advisers. If the tax authorities ever question your reporting, documentation becomes your shield. Organised records also make future advisers’ jobs easier if you change professionals. You want to be the client who says “Here are seven years of documents” rather than “I’m not sure where those statements went.”
The following table compares key compliance requirements for American expatriates in France, Portugal, and Spain:
Requirement | France | Portugal | Spain |
Income tax filing deadline | Mid-May each year | March to June | Usually June |
Wealth tax applicability | Assessed on high-value assets | Only on real estate (IMI, AIMI) | On worldwide assets |
Reporting foreign bank accounts | Required for all foreign holdings | Required above €50,000 | Required above €50,000 |
Common investment restrictions | US mutual funds usually restricted | Restrictions on US-based assets | US funds often not accessible |
Double-tax treaty with US | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Local reporting for property | Yes, annual and on sale | Yes, for Portuguese property | Yes, annual and on sale |
EU-wide compliance (e.g., CRS) | Full participant | Full participant | Full participant |
Professional tip: Create a single master spreadsheet listing every regulatory deadline, threshold, and requirement relevant to your situation, then share it with all your advisers so everyone operates from the same compliance checklist and nothing falls through the cracks.
Step 5: Monitor outcomes and adjust wealth plans regularly
Your wealth plan isn’t a static document you create once and file away. Markets shift, tax laws change, your personal circumstances evolve, and currency fluctuations alter the value of your cross-border holdings. What made sense when you first moved to France might no longer align with your goals two years later. Regular monitoring and adjustment keep your strategy relevant and effective, preventing you from drifting off course or missing opportunities to optimise outcomes.
Begin by establishing a monitoring schedule with your advisers. This isn’t an annual conversation—it’s systematic review happening at defined intervals. Most expats benefit from quarterly portfolio reviews where your investment manager shares performance data, discusses any significant market movements, and flags whether your asset allocation still matches your risk tolerance and time horizon. Semi-annual or annual tax planning reviews with your tax adviser identify changes in tax law, recalculate your optimal filing strategy, and discuss any major transactions coming up in the next year. Annual comprehensive wealth reviews bring all advisers together to assess progress toward your goals, discuss life changes affecting your plan, and make strategic adjustments. These aren’t just rubber-stamp meetings. They’re working sessions where you ask difficult questions and your advisers propose specific changes backed by analysis.
What should you actually be monitoring? Start with performance against your goals. You established objectives in Step 1: retire in Spain in fifteen years, purchase property in Portugal, maintain flexibility to return to the United States. Are you on track? If you aimed to accumulate €500,000 for a property purchase and currently have €300,000 with five years until purchase, you need to discuss whether your investment strategy can realistically close that gap or whether you need to adjust timelines or savings rates. Adaptive management through continuous monitoring allows you to catch shortfalls early rather than discovering problems when you’re ready to execute your plan. This is the power of regular review—it surfaces issues when you still have time to correct course.
Monitor these specific metrics quarterly or semi-annually:
Portfolio performance against your benchmark and inflation, accounting for currency movements
Progress toward specific financial goals and whether you’re on schedule to achieve them
Changes in your risk tolerance or life circumstances that might warrant strategy shifts
Tax efficiency of your investment accounts and whether rebalancing could improve after-tax returns
Currency exposure across your assets and whether hedging adjustments make sense
Fees charged by advisers, investment managers, and custodians to ensure they remain competitive
Compliance status including any new regulatory requirements affecting your situation
Insurance coverage adequacy given changes in assets, liabilities, or family circumstances
One critical area many expats neglect is currency monitoring. You earn in euros, hold United States retirement accounts in dollars, and want to eventually retire in Spain spending euros. Currency fluctuations directly affect your wealth and purchasing power. If the dollar strengthens significantly against the euro, your United States retirement accounts become more valuable in euro terms, but your retirement purchasing power abroad actually becomes less certain. Your advisers should discuss currency positioning regularly. Are you over-concentrated in one currency? Should you hedge portions of your United States holdings to protect against dollar weakness? These aren’t speculative bets—they’re prudent risk management tied to your actual financial needs.
Life changes trigger immediate plan adjustments rather than waiting for scheduled reviews. Marriage, divorce, children, inheritance, job changes, property purchases, relocations—these events fundamentally alter your wealth picture and tax situation. When something significant happens, don’t wait for your next scheduled meeting. Contact your advisers immediately. A marriage might change your tax filing status. An inheritance might require immediate decisions about asset location and investment strategy. A job change might affect your ability to contribute to retirement accounts. Your advisers need to respond quickly to life events, not handle them as afterthoughts during annual reviews.
Regular monitoring prevents the sinking feeling of discovering years later that you drifted off course. Small adjustments made quarterly beat major overhauls forced by crisis.
When reviewing outcomes, assess not just investment returns but total wealth progress. Investment performance matters, but so does the behaviour of tax planning, fee management, and asset location. You might have a 7 percent investment return but lose 1.5 percent to taxes and fees—resulting in a net 5.5 percent increase. Your adviser should help you understand the full picture. Where are you paying the most money? Where is tax leakage highest? Where can you make low-risk adjustments that improve net outcomes? Tools to critically evaluate and optimise investment strategies help you engage with advisers effectively rather than passively accepting their recommendations.
Adjustment doesn’t always mean dramatic changes. Sometimes you’ll discover your strategy is working perfectly and requires no modification. Other times you’ll identify subtle improvements—rebalancing your portfolio, adjusting your asset location strategy, modifying your investment selections, or shifting tax planning approaches. The goal is intentionality rather than passivity. You’re making conscious decisions about your wealth rather than letting circumstances make decisions for you.
Finally, keep written records of every review and decision. Document what you discussed, what you decided, why you made those decisions, and what you’ll monitor between now and the next review. These notes become invaluable if you change advisers, need to refresh your memory about past decisions, or face questions from tax authorities about your strategy. Good documentation shows deliberate planning rather than haphazard management.
For ongoing wealth management, this table summarises tasks to monitor and adjust your cross-border strategy:
Review Area | What to Assess | How Often |
Portfolio returns | Compare to benchmarks and goals | Quarterly |
Tax impact | Evaluate after-tax efficiency | Annually |
Regulatory change | Review new compliance needs | Annually |
Currency exposure | Check effect on asset values | Quarterly |
Adviser fees | Confirm competitiveness | Annually |
Insurance cover | Update for life changes | Annually |
Professional tip: Schedule your monitoring meetings before the year begins rather than scrambling to find time during busy periods—blocking calendar time ensures these critical conversations happen consistently and you maintain accountability for progress toward your goals.
