An introduction to money management for expats

Getting your finances right is a fundamental part of anyone's life, but when you live and work abroad you may find there are some different challenges. You could be handling money in different locations and currencies, for example, and you may find that you have a more complicated tax situation.

With so many things to think about, your finances can slip down the priority list – but with a little careful planning you may be able to save a lot of time, trouble and money, even if you have been an expat for a while. That's where this site can help.

Here you will find a series of articles aimed at helping you make the most of your money as an expat, looking at the fundamental question of how you arrange your finances, the potential benefits of banking offshore as well as specific questions on tax. There is also a look at the impact that relative living costs can have on your decision-making process.

Future guides will cover key topics for expats such as growing your wealth and retirement planning, as well as advice on family finances, including education, protecting your savings and investments and inheritance planning.

So whether you're already an expat or planning to move, remember: when it comes to organising your finances, the sooner you start planning the better.
