Met with Lawrie who is a wealth of info (no pun intended) for folks like me looking at potential of dealing with US based retirement accounts when becoming tax resident in the UK. Their rates sound very reasonable and Edale can probably save you major headaches and financial pain as these types of situations are minefields/very complex if trying to navigate alone!

It was a pleasure to work with Lawrie and his team as part of the Digital City Investor Readiness programme. Lawrie was approachable, knowledgeable and gave much valued support. I feel the teams input was beneficial and supported Core’s progression and growth and would I highly recommend Edale’s services.

Very happy that I stumbled on to Edale. They provided exactly what I was looking for, which was a relief given I had struggled to find any expertise in UK/US tax from various searching and somewhat inconsistent information by googling. As a UK citizen/resident I was needing help to understand the tax situation regarding 401Ks and IRAs that I had left in the US from time working there, and how the tax treaty would apply. Lawrie spent the time needed as one-off advice, explaining the situation and provided a letter to me, for use with the HMRC if ever required.
The process was painless, cost effective, extremely quick and on point.
Thanks Lawrie and the Edale team

I phoned up on the off chance and was given a very helpful overview of my situation by Lawrie. I would certainly come back for more advice should it be necessary.

We commissioned Edale to undertake some financial due diligence for a prospective investment that the LEP was considering. The service that Lawrie and the team provided was first rate and very thorough, especially given the extremely tight timescales we were working to. Lawrie communicated with us all the way and offered really useful advice that enabled us to get the best result. I would recommend Edale to other public bodies looking to appoint consultants to undertake financial due diligence work.

I had some questions relating to access to my 401K pension . Lawrie was extremely helpful and patient in explaining the tax implications of several scenarios. Excellent service!

My husband and I spoke with Lawrie months ago and I am hugely remiss in posting this testimonial for reasons related the query that prompted me to contact Edale in the first place. Based on incredibly positive feedback about Edale, I’d reached out for tax and retirement advice as we were selling our home in the England, buying a new one in Wales, and looking toward retirement under the US Rule of 55 funded largely by a 401k but also UK pensions. As dual citizens (US/UK), we were overwhelmed by the complexity of tax laws and had no idea how to navigate retirement in the UK, but we were also interested in understanding financing options for the purchase of our new home. Lawrie met with us, explained our options, warned us of situations to avoid, and after our initial call, subsequently came back to us with extremely helpful clarification of the Rule of 55. After a quite busy few months, we are only now settling into our new home, and I was thinking about how it was Lawrie who helped us get here. That’s when it occurred to me I’d never written a review.
We simply could not recommend Edale and Lawrie more highly. Aside from his clear knowledge of all things financial, what struck us the most about Lawrie is how kind and genuine he is. In a world where people are increasingly unkind to each other, and particularly to those “not from around here” (wherever “here” is), speaking with someone so considerate, understanding, compassionate, and non-judgmental left a lasting impression on us. The consultation with Edale cost us nothing, despite how very valuable Lawrie’s time surely is. Social impact indeed, Edale far exceed their focus on making a difference. I look forward to working with Edale again for pension planning, investment strategies, and income management.
