Who this is for

This service is for Americans living in France who want clarity for their first year and do not want to discover requirements at the last minute. It is also for people preparing their move who want to set up their documentation and timeline before arrival, especially if they will have U.S. income, investment accounts, or a complex situation that spans both countries.

It is a good fit if you are worried about missing deadlines, if you are confused about residency triggers, or if you want to work with a CPA or tax advisor but do not know how to prepare your file efficiently.

If you want end to end relocation support, first year tax orientation can be included within End-to-End Relocation when it matches your timeline and priorities.

What we help you accomplish

We help you structure the year so you know what to collect, what to track, and when to act. You leave with a clear calendar, a document checklist aligned with your profile, and a folder structure that keeps evidence organized. If your situation requires a CPA or a tax advisor, you also leave with a handoff package that reduces billable time and prevents back and forth.

This is not tax advice. It is operational preparation and coordination.

What is included

We start by mapping your situation and timeline. We identify the key moments that typically change obligations, including arrival timing, household structure, and income sources. We then build a practical calendar that reflects the typical French timeline and the common U.S. expat rhythm, so you can plan ahead instead of reacting.

We create a document checklist tailored to your profile. That includes what to keep, how to label it, and what is usually requested by professionals. We also set up a clean folder structure that you can maintain month by month.

If your case is simple, this may be enough for you to proceed confidently. If your case is complex, we coordinate a handoff to a licensed professional and provide a summary and document package that makes the work efficient.

What you receive

You receive a month by month calendar that tells you what to prepare and when. You receive a tailored document checklist and a folder structure that keeps everything clean. You receive a written handover that summarizes your situation, the assumptions used for planning, and the recommended next steps, including whether to involve a licensed professional.

Typical timelines

This service is designed to be fast. Once we have your intake information, we can usually deliver the calendar and document plan quickly. Ongoing compliance and filing timelines then depend on your situation and, if relevant, your chosen professional.

How it works

You book a short call so we can confirm scope. You complete a structured intake that captures your timeline, household, and income categories. We produce your calendar, checklist, and folder structure, then we walk you through it so you understand how to maintain it. If you want, we can also coordinate introductions to licensed professionals and support the handoff.

What we need from you

We need your arrival date or intended move window, your household details, and a high level map of your income and accounts. You do not need to share every document at the start, but you do need to be precise about categories so the plan is accurate.

Scope and boundaries

EasyFranceNow provides organization, administrative support, and coordination. We do not provide tax advice, we do not prepare or file tax returns, and we do not represent clients before tax authorities. When you need tax advice or filing, we coordinate the handoff to a licensed professional and prepare your documentation so the engagement is efficient.
