 Foreign-born US citizens, green card holders (immigrants) in the US, and foreign nationals on temporary nonimmigrant US visas, have unique financial & US tax compliance challenges as they straddle their multi-country footprint.

US expats living abroad have somewhat similar challenges from having to deal with US taxes and foreign obligations.

In "The International Money Café Podcast" Jane Mepham, CFP®, and Manasa Nadig, EA, address these unique challenges over a cup of Coffee/Chai in addition to talking about life in the US.

Join them as they filter out the noise on cross-border taxes, finances, and life in the US, and save you hours combing the internet for information relevant to your situation.

Jane & Manasa being foreign-born, are able to address these issues from a very personal and relatable point of view every other week, as they walk the same journey and pursue their own version of the American dream.
