What this website is
Free financial education in English for international employees of participating companies, a question form, and fee-only advice packages that end in a written Decision Document. Everything on the public pages and in the Library is general education, not individual tax, legal or investment advice. A recommendation to keep, change or cancel a pension or insurance contract is not given on this site.
The property partner named on the commercial pages is a separate business; its commission is disclosed before anyone signs.
