U.S. tax services for expats in Italy

I am an experienced U.S. CPA with a background in both law and accounting. I specialize in helping individuals and business owners navigate the complexities of U.S. taxation, particularly when more than one country is involved.

My career began with a law degree from the University of Macerata in Italy, followed by a move to the United States where I earned an Accounting Certificate from Portland State University in Portland, Oregon. Since then, I have worked with both Big 4 and boutique firms across the Pacific Northwest and Europe, advising multinational companies and individuals on U.S. tax compliance, international reporting, and cross-border planning.

My approach is defined by attention to detail and a commitment to simplifying complex reporting requirements. As a sole practitioner, I offer a more personal and hands-on experience. Clients work directly with me, which means more continuity, more responsiveness, and guidance tailored to their specific situation rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Whether navigating evolving tax laws, handling FBAR and FATCA filings, or addressing the nuances of bilateral tax treaties, my goal is to ensure every client remains fully compliant while optimizing their global tax position.

This work is also deeply personal to me. As a dual U.S.-Italian national now living in my hometown in Puglia with my wife and two little daughters, I understand firsthand the challenges of living abroad. The U.S. tax system certainly adds an extra layer of complexity.
 
That’s why I focus on helping U.S. expats and internationally mobile individuals simplify their tax obligations, stay compliant, and feel confident in their financial situation so they can spend less time worrying about taxes and more time enjoying la dolce vita.

Whether you’re a digital nomad or a long-term retiree, I’d be happy to connect and explore how I can assist.
