AIRINC Establishes New Working Relationship with Expaticore
Expaticore to offer expatriate program management services to AIRINC client companies with small or emerging expatriate populations.
AIRINC client companies with medium to large size expatriate populations usually have significant expertise in managing expatriate assignments. However, clients with smaller expatriate programs often turn to AIRINC for assistance. In a move to offer additional support and service to these clients, AIRINC is pleased to announce that it has formed a working relationship with Expaticore Services LLC. Expaticore provides consulting and program management assistance primarily to companies that are new to the field of international assignments and to those that have smaller expatriate populations.
AIRINC will refer clients to Expaticore for assistance in addressing assignment management issues that are beyond the scope of AIRINC’s core client services. Among others, these areas include payroll, assignment letters, relocation, operational structure, expatriate problem resolution, competitive practice and tax compliance.
You can learn more about Expaticore by visiting their website at www.expaticore.com or by calling them directly at (212)239-2625. If you would like to know more about AIRINC’s relationship with Expaticore, please contact Scott Sutton at (617)354-2133.
AIRINC is pleased to have developed this relationship with Expaticore and trusts that it will prove beneficial to its clients.
