The issues many Greeks living in Boston face with their Greek properties and affairs
Our general advice to clients based in Boston is to establish and structure everything correctly and effectively from the start. This is critical to ensure that any property purchase, inheritance or other matter is correct and that there are no surprises. For example, with residency and to take advantage of tax breaks, you need to ensure your personal or company tax structure is set up correctly and the relevant filings with the authorities have been made.
Our personnel have an understanding of the double tax treaty and are often on the ground in Boston advising our clients. When we are not, they are in our Tsaks offices in Athens servicing our clients needs.
Communicating with our English and Greek speaking Attorneys and Accountants in Boston
Our team here at Tsaks Consulting have extensive experience helping American Greeks living in Boston and the surrounding area with all your legal, accounting and other needs in Greece.
We pride ourselves on being easy to communicate with and are available around the clock to service your needs. We understand that you need to speak to someone with direct knowledge of the area of law or tax you require assistance with. That is why where we do not have direct experience in an area, we refer you (or work with) a lawyer with the appropriate experience.
For example, you may be living in Boston and have a minor property dispute / issue in Kefalonia. Whilst our accounting partners in Athens can assist with any tax related matters, it is more cost effective for you to use the services of a lawyer in Kefalonia. Particularly if local court attendances may be involved. We can put you in contact with an attorney in Kefalonia.
Our team members are often in Boston assisting clients with their needs. We are also able to act as power of attorney in order to manage your affairs in Greece on your behalf. When we act as power of attorney, we adopt a formal method of communication and keep you updated via email every step of the way.

Nikos P | Greek Expat living in Athens
The team at Tsaks Consulting Greece assisted me with the inheritance of a property in Greece, my taxes, and the ultimate sale of the property. It was a relatively complicated process just by the nature of the transaction – but they made the process as simple as possible and they communicated with us every step of the way. The Tsaks Consulting legal and accounting partners worked well together and we had a comprehensive understanding of all the costs and taxes we were liable for. We were referred to the Tsaks Consulting Greece team by a family friend who is also a member of the Boston Greek American community and now lives in Athens. We have since found that many people use Tsaks Consulting and they are considered one of the leading consultancies and one of the best consultancies for expats from America looking for assistance with their affairs in Greece. They provide excellent service and understand the Greek American Double Tax Treaty.
