Why choose Green Sandpiper ?
Competence
Recognized by authorities in France and USA
I have formalized my knowledge in French and U.S. finance and taxes through course work and exams.
On the France side, I passed a university-level course in Wealth Management to earn a diploma as a Conseiller en Gestion de Patrimoine. I am certified to practice by the AMF, Autorité des Marchés Financiers (Financial Markets Authority), of France.
On the U.S. side, I have passed the exams approved by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to be recognized to practice as an Enrolled Agent (EA) before the IRS. EAs are America's Tax Experts®, the only federally licensed tax preparers who also can legally represent a client in any query or tax law disagreement between the client and the U.S. IRS.
Experience
30+ years
Born and raised in the U.S., I have been living for the past 30+ years in France. I have accumulated a lifetime of experiences in dealing with the financial constraints of being an American citizen and a France/EU resident. I have lived through many varied tax and financial situations, one of which may be similar to your own.
Local contact
Living in southeast France
I am located in Grenoble, in the French Alps, close to Lyon and not far from Aix-en-Provence and Marseille. I bring my services close to the American population living in the southeast part of France and the surrounding areas. There is no substitute for direct, face-to-face contact when discussing personal finances and related, sensitive personal information.
