Krystal Pino
Tax Savings for American Digital Nomads
Krystal is a CPA with 10 years of combined industry experience. Tired of spending 80 hours a week strapped to an office chair, she set out to travel the world. Two years later, after countless conversations with fellow nomads, she founded Nomad Tax, a tax advisory firm focused on the unique needs of digital nomads.
"I decided to start Nomad Tax after I couldn’t shake the feeling that the digital nomad community was being underserved by the current tax and consulting offerings. As a digital nomad myself, I recognize the needs and concerns of the nomad community, and I wanted to build a platform around that mindset to serve those in it in a way that they can understand and relate with."
