The UK–US Journey: From Arrival to Retirement

Life, Career and Finances Across the Atlantic
Moving from the UK to the USA is an exciting adventure, but building a life across the Atlantic brings unique questions, challenges and financial considerations at every stage.
Join the British American Business Council Central Florida for a moderated, conversational panel bringing together experienced professionals to explore the British expat journey—from making the initial move and establishing yourself in America to managing cross-border finances and planning for the future.
Our discussion will follow four key stages of life in the USA:
- Moving to the USA: Immigration and visas, relocation, banking, and initial tax considerations.
- Settling In and Building a Life: Careers, property, family, Green Cards, citizenship, and managing financial commitments across two countries.
- Navigating Cross-Border Finances: UK and US taxation, pensions, overseas assets, foreign exchange, and international money transfers.
- Planning for the Future: Retirement, estate planning, and the financial and practical implications of potentially returning to the UK.
Whether you’re considering a move, already building your life in the US, or beginning to think about retirement, this panel will offer practical insights to help you navigate the opportunities and complexities of living between two countries.
There will also be an opportunity to put your questions directly to our panel of experts, followed by informal networking with fellow expats and professionals from the British-American business community.
