The Problem

You Built the Wealth. Your Jurisdiction Is Eroding It.

High earners in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada face effective tax rates that can exceed 50% when federal, state, and local obligations stack up. Capital gains, estate taxes, and reporting requirements compound the damage year after year.

Most advisors tell you to optimize within the system. We ask a different question. What if the system itself is the problem?

Geographic arbitrage is not a loophole. It is a legal, proven framework used by sophisticated individuals and families worldwide. The right jurisdiction can reduce your tax exposure, protect your assets from litigation risk, and give you a quality of life that outperforms what you leave behind.

37%+

Federal Tax Rate

Top marginal federal income tax rate in the US, before state and local taxes add another 5% to 13%.

40%

Estate Tax Exposure

Federal estate tax rate on assets above the exemption threshold, threatening generational wealth transfer.

What We Do

Every Variable. One Strategy.

We analyze your company structure, income sources, family demographics, risk tolerance, and lifestyle preferences to identify the jurisdiction that maximizes your after-tax position.

Jurisdiction Analysis

We evaluate 40+ countries across tax policy, residency requirements, treaty networks, and quality-of-life factors to find your optimal match.

Tax Optimization

Proprietary models calculate your effective tax position across jurisdictions, accounting for treaty benefits, territorial systems, and entity structuring.

Asset Protection

Structuring strategies that shield your wealth from litigation, creditor claims, and political risk while remaining fully compliant with reporting obligations.

Wealth Transfer Planning

Generational wealth strategies that use favorable estate and gift tax regimes in jurisdictions designed for long-term preservation.

Residency and Citizenship

Guidance on residency-by-investment programs, citizenship pathways, and the documentation required to establish legal tax residence abroad.

Lifestyle Integration

Your strategy accounts for healthcare, education, climate, language, and personal priorities. A tax-efficient move that makes you miserable is a failed strategy.

Why Geofire

Built from Experience, Not Theory

Andy, the founder of Geofire Consulting, did not learn international relocation from a textbook. He achieved financial independence at 35 and relocated internationally, living across multiple countries while building income streams that function regardless of geography.

That lived experience informs every engagement. When we evaluate a jurisdiction, we know what it actually feels like to live there, not just what the tax code says. When we model your relocation, we account for the variables most advisors overlook because they have never had to deal with them personally.

  • Proprietary tax calculation models across 40+ jurisdictions
  • On-the-ground intelligence from personal experience in key destinations
  • Strategy built around your life, not a one-size template
  • Ongoing support through the transition, not just a deliverable
"We spent two years talking to tax attorneys and wealth managers about our options. Andy mapped out a strategy in three weeks that none of them had considered. The difference was that he had actually done it himself."
