Carla Smart

Carla Smart works with internationally mobile professionals who want to make confident financial decisions across borders.

When people live and work in more than one country, their finances often become more complicated than expected. Different tax systems, pension rules that don’t align, and assets spread across jurisdictions can turn relatively small decisions into ones with long-term consequences.

Carla advises senior professionals and families whose financial lives span countries and whose situation has outgrown straightforward advice. Her clients are typically well established and want clear, practical guidance they can rely on.

With over 15 years’ experience advising internationally mobile clients, Carla understands how different financial systems interact in practice, where problems tend to arise, and how to avoid common pitfalls.

She is Group Head of Pensions at Skybound Wealth Management, advising on complex pension planning and supporting advisory teams across multiple regions. Carla is a Chartered Financial Planner, holds the CySEC Advanced Certificate, and is Series 65 qualified, allowing her to advise clients across Europe and the United States.

Clients work with Carla because they trust her. She is thorough, conscientious, and focused on doing what’s right for her clients over the long term. She pays close attention to detail, follows things through properly, and helps clients feel confident in the decisions they make.

If you’re living an international life and want thoughtful, properly authorised cross-border financial advice, Carla would be happy to help.
