UK tax and wealth management advisory firm The Fry Group has joined forces with Belgian financial planning firm Fulcra to launch a Brussels office.

The new office will offer investment advice, and tax and estate planning for both local clients and UK expatriates.

“Partnering with Fulcra is an important step in providing direct, face to face advice to our clients in Belgium. In today’s financial climate, we felt it was important to have a full-time presence in Brussels to deliver a more personal, local service to our clients in this region,” said Graham Barnes, international director of The Fry Group.

Founded in 1898, The Fry Group provides tax and financial advice to UK residents and expatriates, focusing on taxation, wealth management, retirement and estate planning. In addition to the UK and Belgium, the firm also has offices in Cyprus, Singapore and Hong Kong.
