James Baker is a Certified Public Accountant and international tax expert. He helps expats and foreign nationals grow their businesses and protect their wealth with custom tax planning strategies tailored for US expats and foreign nationals alike.   

TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH JAMES,

• Listen in to hear James talk about helping non-residents use US companies and bank accounts to save money on taxes.
• We dig into the US as an offshore jurisdiction and how the systems function.
• We talk about strong asset protection and wealth protection laws in the USA and that most CPAs don’t understand that the US is the largest tax haven in the world. 
• One of the biggest concerns Jim’s clients have is about information sharing. It’s a big concern, and listen to why that is.
• If you are a tax resident of any country outside the US, doing a service business, an e-commerce business, or some kind of coaching business, Jim shares a ton of information for you. 
• Understanding the tax laws of the country you live in or pay taxes to is highly important. It’s one of the many aspects of my business that I help people with daily.
• Jim lets us in on his favourite states for setting up structures and what you should look for.
• The bottom line is Jim can help you and your business make more money and pay less in taxes.
