Who we help

South Africans living overseas

How we help

A fresh start with endless potential

South Africans move abroad for a multitude of reasons: a new job, the search for adventure or the pursuit of a better quality of life. As you settle into your new life, it’s time to focus on securing your financial future. When you’re in another country with different rules and regulations, it can be hard to know where to start, but that’s where we come in.

With a team based in South Africa and offices around the world, we’re well-placed to help you manage the cross-border complexities of your finances. Our expertise gives you the confidence to focus on your life overseas, your career and whatever comes next.

How we help

Crossing borders with confidence


Secure your future

As part of your move, you must determine your tax residency status in both countries, as this will impact how your income and worldwide assets are taxed. If you haven’t already, we’ll familiarise you with the UK to South Africa DTA to avoid being taxed twice on the same income.


Timing is everything

Even though you’re living a new life overseas, you still have worries about the Rand weakening, affecting the value of savings or investments held in South Africa. If it’s a service that’s needed, we’ll help you time any transfers and carefully consider when we make investment decisions.

Plan your retirement

Whether you’re unsure about how and when you can access your pension, worried about the three-year waiting period, or trying to understand the tax implications in South Africa and your new country of residence, it can all feel overwhelming. We’re here to help you make sense of it all.

Alexander Beard has advised me on pension savings for many years. I have felt well supported and all communication has been timely and personable.

The help they gave with securing a mortgage and remortgaging a property on return to the UK went above and beyond.
