President's Letter

Howard M. Silverstone, MBE, CPA, FCA
President
British American Business Council of Greater Philadelphia

Dear BABCPHL Members and Friends,

It is rewarding and enjoyable to be hosting in-person programs and events once again. We are back in our sweet spot, doing what we do best — offering valuable and informative face-to-face meetings to help you expand your network and enhance your transatlantic business. If you attended any of our recent programs or you are reading our communications, you know BABCPHL programs are relevant and engaging.

In March we hosted A Global Economic Update featuring public and private sector industry leaders who delivered timely information about the current state of the economy here at home and abroad. Later in the month we had our Second Annual England vs. Ireland Rugby Watch Party. Both events were different in scope, but both included enthusiastic attendees. People eagerly came together to network, learn, and enjoy the occasion.

Next up on the docket is our Emerging Leaders Group UK-US Trivia & Networking Event, a US Customs & Border Protection Panel Discussion, and more! I invite you to scroll down and read through this newsletter for details.

Cross Border Financial Planning USA LLC: Top 10 Financial Considerations When Moving to the U.S.

Moving to a new country is exciting. But it may also be daunting as it requires many new undertakings, such as finding a place to live or opening a bank account, which can quickly become time-consuming and frustrating. Unsurprisingly, many leave the often complex financial and legal matters for a later date. The cost of doing so, however, can be high. To save time and hardship, Cross Border Financial Planning USA has put together 10 financial matters to consider when moving to the US. Whilst this brochure focuses on the intricacies of moving from the UK to the US, many of the same or similar principles apply when moving to the US from other countries.

HUMAN INTEREST FEATURE

The History & Celebration of British Coronations

Written by: Kaitlyn Rampone, Coordinator, British American Business Council of Greater Philadelphia

King Charles III will be crowned alongside Camilla, the Queen Consort on May 6, 2023, at Westminster Abbey in London. This will be the first coronation since Queen Elizabeth's on June 2, 1953. There is a rich history surrounding the coronation ceremony in England; coronations have remained the same for more than 1,000 years. A coronation is a symbolic religious ceremony in which the monarch is crowned and formalizes their role as head of the Church of England. It marks the transfer of their title and powers. It was once a necessary stage of an individual's journey to becoming King or Queen, but now by law immediately following the death of the current sovereign, they ascend into their role. Coronations emerged from a European tradition which called for increased church involvement in the state. It also sought to bring stability to societies where there were several individuals who had a claim to the throne. The United Kingdom is the only European monarchy that continues to retain such a ceremony.
