I'm Brennan Vitali, the founder of Vitality Wealth Planning and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER professional. My family splits time between the U.S. and Costa Rica, and I built this firm specifically for families making that same transition. Most financial advisors have never handled a client leaving the country. I have. I know what it feels like to sit with the tax unknowns, the healthcare gap, the "are we making a huge mistake" feeling. That firsthand experience is why I focus exclusively on cross-border financial planning for Americans relocating to Costa Rica. My work covers the full picture: cross-border tax strategy, investment management across two countries, healthcare planning for the gap before CAJA eligibility, estate planning that works in both jurisdictions, and the sequencing of accounts and assets before, during, and after the move. As a fee-only fiduciary, I don't sell products. I charge for planning and advice. Whether you're in the early research phase or you've already booked the flight, I help you make confident financial decisions so you can focus on the life you're building abroad.
