Francois van der Westhuizen

Expat Financial Specialist

I help clients navigate the complexities of tax emigration, foreign exchange, and retirement annuity surrenders. Backed by over a decade of experience and a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation, I also hold an Honours BCom from the University of Stellenbosch. In 2024, I co-hosted a financial planning webinar on the international transfer of money from South Africa.

I believe financial guidance should be clear and accessible – no jargon, just practical solutions.

By actively listening to each client’s unique circumstances, I tailor strategies that empower them to make informed decisions.

Let’s work together to turn financial uncertainty into confidence and peace of mind.
