Cross-Border Financial Planning Made Simple

Helping Canadians moving to or living in the U.S. simplify their finances, avoid double taxation, and build peace of mind.

Living across borders can get complicated fast. Between U.S. and Canadian tax rules, investment accounts, and currency shifts, even simple financial decisions can feel overwhelming.

VFinSolve helps you make sense of it all — clearly, ethically, and in plain English.

What we offer

Residency Transition Strategy

Know exactly when and how to exit Canada — without triggering CRA audits or double taxation. We guide you through residency tie analysis and help coordinate the right move-out timing.

Departure Tax Coordination

Leaving Canada can trigger “departure tax” on your assets. We work alongside your accountant to handle forms such as T1243, T1161, and other required filings, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Account Restructuring

Optimize your RRSPs, TFSAs, RESPs, and non-registered accounts before or after your move. We help you understand what stays tax-advantaged — and what becomes taxable — once you cross the border.

Cross-Border Investment Alignment

Reduce currency risk and simplify your portfolio. We coordinate your Canadian and U.S. investments to ensure efficiency, tax compliance, and long-term growth.

Compliance Awareness

Stay ahead of complex U.S. and Canadian reporting rules — FBAR, PFIC, Form 8938, T1135 — with proactive education and planning.

Retirement & Estate Planning

Align your RRSP, CPP, and U.S. Social Security strategies, and make sure wills and beneficiary designations are valid on both sides of the border.

Our Process

At VFinSolve, we believe a great cross-border strategy starts with understanding your full financial picture on both sides of the border.
Our process is structured yet flexible — designed to simplify complex Canada–U.S. situations so you can make confident, well-informed decisions.

1. Discovery — Understanding Your Cross-Border Life

We begin with a friendly conversation about your goals, lifestyle, and finances in both Canada and the U.S. From career changes and family plans to investments and future dreams — we uncover what matters most.
