On March 20, 2025, Marc Schwartz, International Tax Nerd In Chief and Managing Partner of Schwartz International, was honored to speak at the monthly meeting of the North Atlanta Chapter of the GSCPA. The topic? One that’s increasingly relevant in today’s global economy: what every tax practitioner should know about the U.S. international tax regime.
Marc’s presentation offered a practical, real-world look into the complexities and nuances of international tax. With decades of experience in cross-border tax matters, he walked attendees through the essentials — including best practices for global structuring and critical information disclosure requirements. These are not just theoretical challenges; they’re real issues that impact clients every day, from small businesses expanding abroad to high-net-worth individuals with foreign investments.
What made the session especially engaging was the active Q&A and discussion that followed. Many attendees, seasoned professionals themselves, brought thoughtful questions and scenarios to the table. Marc, whose fastest growing client base is other CPA firms who bring him in when their clients encounter international tax complexities, was able to offer insight not just on the law, but on how to navigate it effectively in a client-focused setting.
It was clear that the topic resonated. In a world where more and more clients operate internationally — whether they realize it or not — CPAs are expected to be ahead of the curve. Marc emphasized not only technical competence but the importance of proactive communication and collaborative advisory work when foreign elements are involved.
Marc is grateful to the Georgia Society of CPAs and the North Atlanta Chapter for the opportunity to connect with fellow professionals. Being invited to share knowledge with such a dedicated group is always an honor, and he looks forward to continued engagement with the GSCPA community.
