Distribution is product-led self-serve augmented by content marketing (blog, webinars, Expat Tax Guide), paid acquisition (Google Ads, Facebook remarketing), and grassroots partnerships with expat community organizations (FAWCO, Democrats Abroad, Amcham, Center for U.S. Voters Abroad, Fulbright Austria, Move Abroad Con).

Operationally the firm is small (1-10 employees per firmographics) and bootstrapped/founder-owned, with CEO and Co-Founder Nathalie Goldstein leading strategy.

Direct peers

• 1040 Abroad: 1040 Abroad is a smaller, expat-focused US tax preparation firm offering CPA services for Americans living overseas. Directly comparable in niche focus, FBAR/FATCA handling, and target customer.
• Bright!Tax: Bright!Tax is one of the largest dedicated US expat tax preparation firms, offering software plus CPA services for Americans abroad. It is a near-direct competitor with overlapping product tiers, FEIE/FTC specialization, and a global expat customer base.
• Greenback Tax Services: Greenback provides US expat tax filing, FBAR, and FATCA services with a similar software-plus-professional model. It targets the same US-citizens-abroad segment with comparable pricing tiers and expat-specific tax expertise.
• Taxes for Expats (TFX): TFX specializes in US expatriate tax preparation with CPA support and FBAR/FATCA filing. It targets the same persona (Americans abroad), with a comparable productized service offering and pricing structure.
• Expat Tax Online: Expat Tax Online is a smaller US expat-focused tax preparation service providing software-based and CPA-assisted filing for Americans abroad. Directly comparable niche focus and productized service model.

Broad incumbents

• Jackson Hewitt: Jackson Hewitt is a US national tax preparation chain that serves some expat cases through in-person offices and software. A broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities but limited dedicated expat specialization.
• Intuit TurboTax International: Intuit's TurboTax Live and international offerings serve US persons abroad with tax-prep software and expert assistance. A broad incumbent rather than expat-pure-play, but competing for the same end customer.
• H&R Block Expat Tax: H&R Block, a major US tax preparation incumbent, offers a dedicated expat tax product for Americans abroad. Comparable in service scope (federal return, FBAR, professional review) but positioned as part of a much broader portfolio rather than a niche specialist.

Emerging players

• Streamlined Tax: Streamlined Tax focuses on the IRS Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedure for US expats with unfiled returns — a direct overlap with MyExpatTaxes' Never Filed?/Streamlining product. Comparable niche use case within the broader expat tax category.

Others

• ACA Compliance Group (ACA Tax): ACA provides tax compliance services for expats and internationally mobile employees, often via employer-sponsored programs. Adjacent ecosystem participant — overlaps with MyExpatTaxes' B2B Enterprise Package Deals channel targeting employers of expat workers.
