Our expert reviewers.

Shane co-founded EuroAmerican Financial Advisors, a cross-border advisory firm working with Americans in 16 EU countries, including France. His work centres on building investment portfolios for US citizens living abroad, accounting for the risk, regulatory and tax constraints that apply specifically to American taxpayers outside the United States. He is an American expatriate himself, and has taught graduate financial markets and economics courses at Strathclyde Business School.

Benjamin co-founded Expand CPA, an international accounting firm in Paris specialising in foreign businesses and expatriates in France. He is dual-qualified: a French expert-comptable and commissaire aux comptes, and a US Certified Public Accountant. That combination is the point — he advises Americans resident in France and French entrepreneurs investing in the United States, handling both sides of the filing rather than one. He is also a Certifying Acceptance Agent authorised by the IRS.

Vincent founded VBDB Tax Attorney, an independent practice in Chambéry that works almost exclusively on international taxation. A bilingual French-English avocat holding the French certificate of specialisation in tax and customs law, he advises individuals and families whose lives and assets cross borders: tax residency and treaties, trusts, international estate planning and French tax compliance. He has applied Swiss and US tax in practice, and is a full member of STEP, the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.
