With pleasure I wish to share my 2020 US Federal tax return preparation experience with US Global Tax. It has been a wonderfully stress-free and yes (never thought I would ever say this) enjoyable experience. My sincere thanks to all of the staff involved and for the speedy completion of my return. I would like to specially mention Dave and April. Dave very capably guided me with advice and support right from our first contact through to the finalisation of the return process. My queries were handled with care and responses were usually received within an hour. You bring a warm and human touch to your work, Dave, which I noticed with sincere appreciation. A huge thank you to April who did an outstanding and very competent job with preparing my return. Her requests for information were very well organised and structured and my questions were answered in a thorough and speedy manner. Her knowledge of US tax matters and her keen attention to details and accuracy was very impressive. Thanks also to Lance for his personal welcome letter, which made me feel valued as a client. I am so looking forward to another enjoyable experience with the US Global Tax family next year! 31/05/2021

David and his team are incredibly professional, responsive, and make the process so seamless. Being my first year living abroad, I was unclear on how to handle both my US and foreign incomes. No complicated forms to fill out or lengthy questionnaires - David and Vivian eased any of my uncertainties and my taxes were done within a day. Highly recommend.

I have been using US Global Tax Ltd for a little over a year. I enthusiastically give them FIVE STARS for being incredibly patient, answering every question in full detail, and being very friendly and 'human' on top of all that. They have helped transform a very worrying situation into a smooth and trouble-free process. Thoroughly recommended.

I did not know I needed to file tax returns to the USA and found out last year through an associate. I was extremely stressed and worried about this. I spoke with US Global Tax who were very reassuring, empathetic, and comforting. They took me through everything step by step, and got everything filed for me. I feel the biggest relief I have ever felt. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

The whole team at US Global Tax is fantastic – super responsive, super knowledgeable, and always on time with their work. Working with them went a long way towards demystifying the IRS processes and making tax season less stressful; I highly recommend them and their work.

The US tax system poses a ridiculous burden on US expats, even if you are not wealthy. Even when you think you can do it yourself there are always surprises ( e.g. Kiwisaver is a foreign trust). David and his team have been extraordinary in relieving me of this burden. They talked through all fiscal issues to ensure that the correct paperwork would be submitted , and provided a better than expected upfront quote for each of the possible forms. They filed our forms well ahead of schedule despite us being a particularly international family. A very streamlined trustworthy service . Addendum: One year later and still great service from David, April and the team. I highly recommend.

I had a great experience with the US Global Tax team. David eased all my anxieties in one morning, talking me through the complexities of my situation. They even referred me to another accountant to handle my NZ tax needs. The team kept me up to date every step of the way. I really appreciated the transparency throughout the process.
