Who Will Prepare My U.S. Expat Tax Return at Greenback?

At Greenback, your U.S. expat tax return will be prepared by a highly qualified accountant, either a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or an IRS Enrolled Agent (EA), with deep expertise in expat tax matters.

We work with accountants who have focused their careers on U.S. taxation for Americans living abroad. They are not only credentialed and experienced, but also friendly, responsive, and committed to getting your taxes done right.

What Qualifications and Experience Will My Accountant Have?

Every Greenback accountant has:

  • CPA or EA credentials
  • 5+ years of experience in expat tax preparation
  • Extensive knowledge of the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE), Foreign Tax Credit (FTC), and other expat tax benefits
  • Ongoing training on the latest IRS rules and tax code updates
  • Many also hold advanced degrees in accounting, law, or finance
  • Several have lived abroad themselves and understand the unique financial challenges U.S. expats face

Many of our accountants also come from top-tier firms, including the Big Four, but have chosen to focus on helping expats like you with more personalized service.

Will My Accountant Be Responsive to My Questions?

Absolutely. Your dedicated expat tax accountant will take the time to understand your unique situation and answer all your questions patiently and promptly. They are not just expat tax experts. They are here to make the process smooth and stress-free.

Will My Return Be Outsourced?

Never. Your tax return will always be prepared by a Greenback team member. We do not outsource our expat tax preparation services. Our accountants are carefully vetted and handpicked to provide top-tier service and reliable support.
