ENJOY LIFE
We all have our reasons for moving abroad, taking a foreign assignment, or making a drastic change in our life, but the motivation is always the same: we want to achieve our goals and live a satisfying life. The best way to do that is to stop trading our time for money and start using our money to live the life we want to live.
My name is David Jacoby. I’m an “on-again off-again” expat and I understand the unique financial and life planning challenges you face — a stream of advice that doesn’t quite match your situation, unforgiving financial institutions, human resource departments unable to answer your questions, currency fluctuations, cross border family complications, paying taxes in multiple countries…
That’s why I started Remote Financial Planner: To focus on guiding you and other American expats down the path toward Financial Independence. The global lifestyle is all about living outside the box, experiencing other cultures, tasting new foods, climbing remote mountains, and relaxing on a pristine beach. I’ll help you distill down the financial complexities of living abroad and make informed decisions, enabling you to enjoy life now and feel comfortable that you’re on a path toward real financial and life freedom.

THE REMOTE FINANCIAL PLANNER
DAVID F. JACOBY, CFA, CPA, CFP®
Professional: I am a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder, Certified Public Accountant (CPA), and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) professional. I received an International MBA from the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina and BSBA with a focus in Accounting from Christopher Newport University. I have served as a subject matter expert (SME) to develop test questions for the CFP® Board certification examination.
Personal: I am an on-again, off-again expat that loves to travel. Previously, I’ve lived in Brazil, Chile, Spain and Portugal but currently I’m spending my time in Savannah, GA. My travels have changed my outlook on life and impacted the way I want to live and work. I started my own business so that I could work remotely and have more control over my life. Now, I spend every day helping people realize their financial goals, so they can live the life they want to live too.
