[vitality]

hi, i am desperately looking for a good CPA - being american i need to file an american tax return but it's hard to find a CPA (based either here in the UK or in america) who has any international knowledge. does anyone have any recommendations? thanks very much!! my accountant here takes care of my UK needs.

I have no clue what a CPA is...

but we are using Buzzacott Livingstone - they do US & UK expat taxes

Hi vitality -- I do my tax return every year, but the first year I went down to the embassy and the tax office there helped with with calculations (one is quite tricky as I remember) they are v. helpful and also may have a list of CPAs. You can call them on the phone if you aren't near London.
