Bright!Tax has done my taxes for 5…

Bright!Tax has done my taxes for 5 years since I moved abroad and it has been a great experience every time. Clear communication, safe and easy platform to use, and have received my tax refunds (when applicable) quickly. I would 100% recommend using Bright!Tax for other US expats.

Great value and an easy process

I have done my taxes using online services as well as using some of the big tax firms in London. Bright!Tax is the sweet spot for me. Why? First, they charge a fair rate (unlike the big tax firms) even when including some of the special forms for those of us with overseas work and personal pensions. Second - I get to work with a real team of human beings. I know that if I have a question or there is an issue, I can speak to someone. Finally, it is easy. They have a portal where you fill in and upload details. They then sort it out. I strongly recommend them and I have been doing overseas taxes for 20+ years!! I will use them going forward...

Don't hesitate - hire them!

The Bright!Tax team was professional, quick, and accurate. They communicated with kindness and understanding. We couldn't have asked more a better experience! I've always done my own taxes, but I was so glad that I hired Bright!Tax to help with our complicated expat situation.

Knowledgeable, friendly, professional. Great value and customer service. We have lived abroad for 8 years and have had the best tax experience with Brittany, Javier and Zola.

Filing with BrightTax has been a straightforward and supportive experience

I've used BrightTax for a few years, and find them to be knowledgeable, warm and supportive people who have been sympathetic and accommodating of some unavoidable delays on my end. Their systems and processes are very user-friendly and take a lot of stress out of annual reporting from outside the US. I'll gladly continue to use BrightTax into the future.
