So he became a tax specialist and began traveling. Originally from Strasbourg, France, he also has US and Canadian passports. Today, he helps US expats with the monumental burdens of staying compliant with the IRS.To this end, Olivier actually makes the rounds by traveling to big time expat hangouts like Mexico City during tax season - which is where I caught up with him for this podcast. (Most people don't know this but Mexico City has the highest number of US citizens outside the US - IYKYK.)He shared his "Three Legs" system for helping you reduce what you pay - and even had a surprising take on renouncing US citizenship... who's doing it... and why? (HINT: It's not who you think.)
