William spent over a decade working at the intersection of offshore tax law, international entity structuring, and cross-border wealth planning before founding HPT Group — building deep expertise across more than 65 jurisdictions that few advisors can match. He is one of a small number of independent advisors in the market who can speak with equal authority on corporate structure design, personal tax residency planning, international banking strategy, and citizenship pathways — advising from first principles rather than off-the-shelf solutions.

At HPT Group, William personally leads every senior advisory engagement from scoping through delivery; clients work directly with him, not with a team of analysts. Known across his client base for unusually direct, frank advice, William has become the trusted first call for founders, multi-jurisdictional families, and privately held businesses navigating complex international transitions.

  • Offshore structuring & international entity design
  • Tax residency planning & personal domicile strategy
  • International banking strategy & account establishment
  • Deal structuring, exit planning & capital flows
  • Citizenship by investment & second passport programmes
  • Trust design, foundations & multi-generational asset protection
  • Holding company architecture & IP structuring
  • Cross-border family office & wealth consolidation

William's advice changed the trajectory of our business. Within six months of implementing his recommendations, we had a structure that genuinely matched how we operate — and we hadn't realised how exposed we were until he showed us. His directness is rare. He doesn't tell you what you want to hear; he tells you what you need to do.
