I'm Jimmy Sexton, LL.M., Founder and CEO of Esquire Group. I work one-on-one with ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and private companies to solve complex international tax and wealth planning challenges.
On this podcast, I share what I've learned from two decades in the trenches: tax strategy, wealth structuring, trusts and foundations, expatriation, family governance, international banking, and the geopolitical forces that shape your wealth. I built and sold my own multinational business, expatriated from the United States, and personally use the same strategies I advise my clients to use. This isn't theory. It's experience.
I'm a regular contributor to Bloomberg Tax and have been published and quoted by Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and The Washington Post. I've spoken before the United Nations, the American Chamber of Commerce, and eBay, and serve as Chairman of the International Business Structuring Association's Middle East Chapter.

For the professionals who serve this world, lawyers, bankers, advisors, and the rest, I wrote a blunt field guide on how the ultra-wealthy actually decide who to hire. It's free: mailchi.mp/d75a42c24f68/the-other-side-of-the-…
