This Is What Customer Satisfaction Looks Like
I‘m a humble guy and that’s why I don’t like to brag about the many success stories that overseas business owners and CEOs who employ our services have enjoyed.
But I will (modestly) direct your attention to my MERTZLIFE Expat Tax Hall of Fame, where our clients share their experience with the Mertz brand.
I was able to receive a total of $35k+ USD tax refund for the amended tax return.
"Mike has been very helpful and his team has been extremely accommodating. Mike has greatly helped in correcting all of my previous incorrect filings and calculations. And because of this, I would be able to receive a total of $35k+ USD tax refund for the amended tax return.
He gave very instructive advises and information that were essential to what I needed. I highly recommend Mike and his team, I have no doubt that he would be able to assist and help any US expats seeking aid and assistance in filing their US taxes."

His professionalism makes him the best accountant I have worked with, and his work is first-rate.
Michael A. Mertz has been my CPA for several years and he is a thorough, smart, and trustworthy advisor and accountant. Having been self-employed for many years and living overseas, I have a complicated tax situation. On a regular basis, he helps guide me through the process of organizing my finances and filing my taxes on my behalf.
He assists with my tax planning as well. His work as a CPA is impeccable. His character and professionalism make him the best accountant I have worked with, and his work is first rate. I highly recommend him.

His advice has helped me to get the most benefits from my filing.
I have been a client of Michael since 2018. I had issues with my prior tax returns and needed help. I can't thank Michael and his team enough for the advice and work that saved me from future problems and potential penalties.
His advice has helped me to get the most benefits from my filing. The process that Mertz International Limited provided for filing my income tax return was very convenient and easy to follow. I was pleased with my first year of work with them and decided to have my next years be prepared by them as well.
Definitely a recommended service for expatriates looking for a US tax expert overseas.

Saving me 30k + USD!
Working with Mike was a breeze and productive. He crafted amendments for 2013-2014 to move Foreign Taxes carry over 2015, saving me 30k + USD in 2015.
Mike is a terrific tax professional who brings a wealth of experience to everything he does. I highly recommend Mertz-International for the services and knowledge that they bring to the table.
Also like the fact he is dedicated to his profession and takes continuing education as serious as he does.

$16k+ USD refund for the 3 years of amended tax returns - mistakes made by my previous accountant.
Mike is excellent! He is very responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Mike knows how to best structure my income for me to avoid paying unnecessary taxes and minimized my tax liabilities to the full extent. Mike has amended my 2012-2014 tax returns and prepped my taxes from 2015 - 2017 as well. As a result, I was able to receive a tax refund a total of $16k+ USD for the 3 years of amended tax returns - mistakes made by my previous accountant.
The problem with most tax accountants is that they are too busy or unavailable - this was not an issue at all. Mike is responsive by e-mail, skype or text. Always available and ready to offer quality advice.
I highly recommend Mike and Mertz International Limited!

I was amazed at how easy and efficient the entire process was…
“Michael A Mertz, CPA approached me on Linked In in order to help me get caught up on my US taxes. He prepped 3 years for me and the result was very satisfactory. I was amazed how easy and efficient the entire process was… The process from NDA’s to Engagement Letter to Skype consultation to a in person meeting in Tokyo was very smooth and easy.
I would recommend to use him for your US tax prep and any other tax-related or accounting questions.
Feel free to talk to me if you would like an in-person recommendation.
Anything I can do to help others to learn more about the service and level of professionalism they will receive from Michael is the least I can do based on the great experience I had.”

Michael is very helpful in dealing with IRS directly to make sure I didn't have to pay undue fees.
"Michael is very helpful in preparing all of my taxes and dealing with IRS directly to make sure I didn't have to pay undue fees. He also helped advise on the optimal tax structure for me as expat in Asia as well.
I would recommend Michael for other expats."

Michael helped me meet my US tax obligations as an expat; he patiently explained the process and helped me prepare my returns. He is a very knowledgeable, service orientated and friendly tax expert.
I will gladly continue to work with Michael and I’m pleased to recommend his professional services to anyone.

He has managed to save me ~$7K+ USD on federal taxes and $2K+ USD (MA State) taxes.
Have enjoyed working with Mike who has helped me prepare not only this year’s taxes, but also the past 3 years of both my US federal and Massachusetts state taxes.
He and his team are very knowledgeable in both returns, especially considering some of the complexities of offshore accounts and onshore investments in standard brokerage accounts as well as real estate. He has managed to save me ~$7K+ USD on federal taxes and $2K+ USD (MA State) taxes after amending my 2013-2015 tax returns.
Not only is the money being saved an obviously massive perk but the time I am able to save and overall confidence in “getting it right” has also been a huge save.
Mike is wonderful to work with, dedicated to helping his clients, organized, efficient and very easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Mike and I am looking forward to a long-term relationship with him. Thanks Mike!

Mike knows everything there is to know about the special tax requirements of expats.
I just wanted to give him an endorsement – he has been doing my taxes for 6 years now and I couldn’t be happier. We were on the same softball team in Shanghai, I reached out to him when I couldn’t find someone in the US that knew how to handle Chinese W2s and year-end tax reports.
Mike has built a decent sized business helping people that work abroad and I have had a great experience working with him. He was able to get the US to refund all of the taxes I paid to the Chinese government, even going back to my first year – 2006. He handled all of the financials when I relocated as well and when my wife moved to the US last year and had to bring all of her assets. It was complicated but we made it work and I really couldn’t have done it so cheaply without him.
Anyway, he is a great person to work with, it’s very simple to upload docs to his site and he knows everything there is to know about the special tax requirements of expats. He would make your financial stuff a breeze!

His firm uses a secure, cloud-based document center to upload my sensitive information.
Michael is an expert on US Expat taxes. I have used his services as well as recommended him to friends with situations significantly more complicated than mine – all to satisfactory results and money saved. While Michael is not the least expensive option available in terms of the preparation itself, I believe he has greater value for the money than other options when it comes to general peace of mind, money saved on the taxes itself, as well as professionalism/his vast knowledge of the subject.
Additionally, I highly appreciate his firm's use of a secure, cloud-based document center to upload my sensitive information, instead of relying on email or other solutions like other companies. That they invested in my data security to build such a portal is no small thing to me, and one more reason why I recommend his service over others.

Mertz-International service is more personal and the value for money is better.
Mertz-International LLC has been my tax consultant since 2009. In this time, he has accurately prepared my US tax returns and provided relevant and timely answers to any and all tax questions asked.
I have been an expatriate living in Europe since 1998 and have worked with several "big name" accounting firms and tax consultants in this time. The quality of the results that I have received from Mertz-International LLC is equal to what I have received from other providers, the service is more personal and the value for money is better.
I endorse Mertz-International LLC as a quality provider of US expatriate tax services.

Based on his advice we filed amended returns from which I received over $19,000 in refunds.
Last year I asked Mike to take over my tax return preparations, and based on his advice we filed amended prior years’ federal tax returns from which I received over $19,000 in refunds.
He knows how to deal with the IRS, and is very knowledgeable about federal and state income tax compliance, as well as tax accounting. He has been extremely helpful throughout the process; specifically in his guidance navigating the federal and state tax laws.
