About Blevins Franks

Blevins Franks is an established, successful British firm dating back to 1975. We specialise in providing integrated, cross-border wealth management advice to help our clients make the most of their wealth in the most tax-efficient way possible.

 

With 20 offices across seven countries – our head office in London, operations hub in Malta, and regional offices in Spain, France, Portugal, Cyprus and Monaco – we are perfectly placed to support you whether you are:

  • already living in southern Europe
  • thinking of leaving the UK to live abroad
  • moving back to the UK
  • living permanently in the UK

The business is owned by our management and locally based Partners. Our key aim is to give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your financial affairs are in order – for you and your family.

Our Team

Through our teams of highly experienced in-house specialists, we’re able to provide cross-border tax, wealth management and estate planning services under one roof.

Financial Advisers

Our Partners, Financial Advisers and Private Client Managers are regulated and professionally qualified to at least Level 4 as recognised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

Our local teams live and work throughout Spain, France, Portugal, Cyprus, Malta, Monaco and the UK – so as well as in-depth knowledge of tax and financial planning issues for UK nationals living in their region, most have personal experience of being expatriates themselves.

Working closely with our in-house technical experts in London and Malta, they create individual, personal solutions to meet each client’s objectives and provide financial peace of mind.

Tax Specialists

Based in our London office, our Tax Advisory Service offers vast technical knowledge of the fiscal issues affecting UK nationals living or planning to live abroad.

As well as knowledge of UK taxation, the team includes specialists in Spanish, French, Portuguese, Cypriot and Maltese taxes. This means their advice takes into account the tax implications in both the UK and our clients’ country of residence, as well as the interaction between them.

Our tax services are governed by the rules, regulations and codes of conduct of a number of professional bodies, including…

  • The Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT)
  • The Association of Tax Technicians (ATT)
  • The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP)

Investment Team

Our investment specialists have strong relationships with some of the world’s leading investment firms and consultancies. They provide detailed research and analysis on the funds and assets most appropriate to the varied financial goals of our clients.

Blevins Franks is committed to sustainable and responsible investing. As such, we factor in environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations when assessing the suitability of investments for our clients.

Pension Experts

Our pension specialists are professionally qualified to at least Level 4 as recognised by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority.

They are qualified to advise on UK pension schemes and regulation as well as offshore schemes, such as transfers to QROPS and QNUPS. They can analyse all the available options, and structure your pension arrangements to meet your particular needs and minimise taxes. They can also provide a pensions consolidation service.

Relationships with other professionals

Thanks to our close working relationships with law firms, accountants and other practitioners across Europe, we can recommend and introduce quality, English-speaking providers for related services where you live.

Blevins Franks has been providing specialist financial advice to British expatriates across Europe for 50 years. Our expertise covers tax, estate planning, pensions and investment management to offer a genuinely holistic approach to financial planning.
