Current, a national partnership of accounting and advisory firms, has added Greenback Expat Tax Services, a provider of U.S. tax preparation for Americans living abroad.
Officials say the partnership strengthens Greenback’s ability to serve clients with deeper resources, modern technology, and access to a nationwide network while maintaining its unique brand, services, and global team.
“Our growth strategy has always been about finding new and better ways to serve our clients,” Current CEO Steve Stagner said in a statement on Nov. 10. “Welcoming Greenback dramatically expands our ability to do just that. With their specialized expertise in serving Americans living abroad, we’re extending our reach far beyond traditional geographic boundaries and opening new opportunities to support clients wherever life and business take them. This is exactly the kind of strategic growth that makes our entire platform stronger.”

Founded in 2009, Greenback is fully remote and has served more than 27,000 clients in 218 countries, successfully filing over 91,000 tax returns.
As part of Current (formerly Crete Professionals Alliance), Greenback will retain its name, team, and leadership while gaining access to:
- A national network of accounting and advisory firms.
- Enterprise-level corporate services, including HR, finance, legal, and IT.
- Advanced technology and automation to support service delivery.
- Global talent support through established offshore teams.
- Growth operations, recruiting support, and future M&A capabilities.
“Living abroad comes with enough complexities. Filing your U.S. taxes shouldn’t be one of them,” Greenback CEO Mike Wallace said in a statement. “We’ve built Greenback around that belief, combining deep expertise with a highly personalized approach that makes a difficult process easier for our clients. What excites us about Current is the opportunity to rethink what’s possible. With access to advanced technology, AI, and automation, we can spend less time on the mechanics of tax preparation and more time delivering the expertise, guidance, and peace of mind our clients count on.”
Allan Koltin, CEO of Koltin Consulting Group, who along with Chief Corporate Development Officer Brian Koltin advised both organizations on the deal, commented, “Congratulations to Greenback and Current on a terrific partnership. Greenback is the gold standard in expat tax, and Current gives them the technology and resources to take that expertise even further while keeping their brand and team intact. Brian Koltin and I were proud to help bring these two great organizations together.”
Founded by Jake Sloane and Frank Zhang and backed by Thrive Holdings, Current delivers enterprise-level support, global service delivery, and AI-driven innovation to its partner accounting and advisory firms across the country.
