“What I appreciated most was Barry’s transparency—he made it clear that, due to my current financial situation, his services would stand to benefit him/Spectrum more than me. He recommended that I get back in touch after I’ve reached a couple of other milestones. Many other advisors might have tried to take advantage of the situation, but Barry clearly puts the customer’s interests first.
Thank you Barry!”
Barry is well known in Barcelona and the Costa Brava for his financial expertise. In particular his knowledge of Spanish and UK tax systems and how they fit together.
He is known for solving problems for international people in Spain such as:

- I have retired to the Costa Brava but I have just found out my ISAs are taxed. What should I do?
- I have sold my house in the UK, what do I do with the money? Should I buy a property in Barcelona?
- I have just sold my business and I have never been in this situation before with so much money. Can you help?
- I am about to buy a house in Spain. What is the best way to bring my Pounds into Euros?
- I am moving to Spain, can you help with a Visa such as the Golden Visa?
- Or worryingly, will I run out of money?
