49th Parallel Wealth Management Expands Cross-Border Financial Toolkit

The expansion centers on the firm's goal of making cross-border financial planning more portable. The digital toolkit, available without sign-up, includes calculators for OAS clawbacks, RESP withdrawals, and tax treaty considerations. The most recent addition, the Cross-Border Day Tracker app, automates tracking for the IRS Substantial Presence Test, allowing users to monitor their time spent in either country directly from their smartphones.

Building on the firm’s educational outreach, Wennersten’s book, Crossing the 49th Parallel, is now available in an audiobook format narrated by Mateus R. Gomes. A hardcover edition featuring updated branding is currently in production. These initiatives reflect the firm's philosophy of offering free, actionable information to households before they engage in formal advisory services, ensuring clients have a reliable starting point for managing the nuances of dual-country tax and investment systems.
