Cross-Border Financial Advisor in Scottsdale, Arizona

For Canadians wintering in the Valley, Americans with Canadian ties, and dual citizens across Scottsdale and Greater Phoenix — fee-only, fiduciary planning built for life on both sides of the 49th.

Scottsdale, AZ

Cross-border planning, rooted in the Valley.

Scottsdale and Greater Phoenix are among the most popular landing spots in the United States for Canadian snowbirds and cross-border families — and few financial questions are as tangled as the ones that come with a foot in each country. How many days can you spend in Arizona before the IRS considers you a U.S. resident? What happens to your RRSP, your TFSA, or your Canadian pensions once you’re here? How should the Arizona property be owned?

From our Scottsdale office on East Shea Boulevard, we help residents of the Valley answer exactly those questions — coordinating tax, retirement, investments, and estate planning across the Canada–U.S. border. As a fee-only, fiduciary firm, we never sell products or take commissions; our only job is your plan.

And because our founder has personally crossed the 49th parallel and back, the advice comes with a real understanding of what the move actually feels like — not just what the tax forms say.

Scottsdale — common questions

Good to know.

Do you work with Canadian snowbirds in Arizona?
Yes — snowbirds are a large part of who we serve from our Scottsdale office. We help you track your days against the IRS Substantial Presence Test, file the right forms (like Form 8840), plan around the 182-day question, and coordinate your Canadian and U.S. finances so your time in Arizona doesn’t create tax surprises.
I bought a home in Arizona as a Canadian — can you help with that?
Absolutely. Cross-border property raises questions about ownership structure, financing, currency, rental income, and eventual sale or estate treatment. We help you hold and plan around Arizona real estate in a way that fits both the U.S. and Canadian sides of your situation.
Do I have to live in Scottsdale to become a client?
No. Our Scottsdale office serves clients throughout Greater Phoenix and across Arizona, and we work with cross-border households throughout the U.S. and Canada by phone and video. The office is here when you want to meet in person — everything else can be done remotely.
