About Me

From Lost Expat to Trusted Guide: My Mission to Make Taxes Simple & Stress-Free

Imagine standing at the airport, passport in hand, ready to chase your dreams in a foreign country. The excitement is real. But underneath? A quiet fear:
“Am I missing something? Will I be okay navigating this unknown?”

That was me.
Even as an accountant, I was caught in the complex web of international tax rules. One mistake—one unchecked box—nearly cost me more than just money. It was a wake-up call.

I saw what so many expats go through: confusing rules, cold advisors, and zero personal guidance. I knew there had to be a better way. That’s why I created Hodgens Global.

Why Hodgens Global Exists?

Taxes shouldn’t be this hard. Expats deserve guidance that’s not just accurate but also clear, human, and supportive. That’s our mission.

At Hodgens Global, we don’t just file your taxes—we give you peace of mind. We explain everything in simple terms, answer your questions with patience, and make sure you feel 100% confident in your financial future.

What makes us different?

We Listen First: Every client is unique—we take the time to understand your situation.
We Simplify Complexity: No jargon, no overwhelm—just clarity.
We Care Beyond Numbers: Your financial security matters, but so does your peace of mind.

How Hodgens Global helps expats with their personal tax

We are a trusted UK tax agent – identifying and managing personal UK tax compliance matters, whether you are based overseas or from the UK.

By working hard to ease your tax reporting concerns, Hodgens Global allows you to have the time and opportunity to focus on your career and other objectives.

We will take your taxation situation out of your hands:

We understand what an expat needs to know from the outset, both in terms of plans to move to the UK for the first time and plans to leave the UK for the first time.
We do not need to rely on textbooks, drawing on experience and expertise to give you an indication and a guide in terms of what issues need to be looked at.
We make sure you fully understand everything with clear explanations, so you can relax about your tax situation.

No two clients are ever the same, which is why our team’s tailored approach can focus on subtle differences and customise the advice that’s given.

Our services aim to make you fully compliant with your annual tax reporting obligations.
Should there be any need for voluntary disclosures, we can arrange this for you.
We are experienced and confidently able to assist you in any dialogue with HMRC to find a resolution to tax matters that may be weighing on your mind and proving difficult to resolve.
We are happy to liaise with tax advisers in other jurisdictions and to introduce you to our respected network in countries where advice and support are required on local matters overseas.
We are GDPR compliant and will aim to meet your requirements on an annual basis and to provide solid support, as the years’ progress, and as your career or life takes you further afield.
In handling the preparation and filing of your self-assessment needs, from multiple annual tax returns to capital gains tax returns, we can also provide ongoing consultancy and a friendly voice to talk to whenever needed – no matter where in the world you may be.

If there are any tax queries Hodgens Global is unable to offer advice on, we will know someone as part of our huge network who would be happy to help.
