How It Works

Simplifying Your 401(k) Management Journey

What Happens When You Leave a 401(k) Behind

Moving abroad doesn’t close your 401(k)—but it can quietly cost you.

You may lose login access without a U.S. IP or mailing address

Fees can compound for years, quietly eating away at your balance

You’re stuck with limited fund options—and no global strategy

What Is a Direct Rollover?

A direct rollover is a tax-free transfer of your 401(k) to an IRA (Individual Retirement Account).

You just have to do it the right way—trustee-to-trustee, not by withdrawing and redepositing.

Penalty-free

No 10% Early Withdrawal Hit

Tax-deferred

No Income Tax Owed Now

Approved by the IRS

Without Tax Surprises

Tip:

If you take possession of the funds—even for a day—you could trigger a tax nightmare. We help you avoid that.

Why We Don’t Manage Your Money

We’re not financial advisors—and that’s a feature, not a flaw.

We don’t sell products. We don’t take custody of your funds. We don’t earn commissions on your investments.

Instead:

We vet U.S.-licensed advisors who specialize in expat issues

We refer you to the right match, based on your needs and location

You choose how to proceed, with no pressure

How We Match You Privately

We get it: You’re cautious. You don’t want to end up on a spam list—or get pitched by someone who doesn’t understand cross-border life.

Here’s how our referral process works:

You answer a few short questions—Where's your 401(k)? Where do you live now?

We review your case and select a vetted advisor who’s licensed to help U.S. expats like you

You choose whether to connect, ask questions, or download our free checklist first

No spam. No sales pressure. No one gets your info until you say yes.
