Speaker

Darlene Hart is the Founder of USTAXFS (est. 1986). With offices in London, Zurich and Geneva, and clients in over 30 countries, the firm provides US tax advice and planning, and compliance services for individuals, partnerships, corporations, trusts, and estates around the world.

Darlene has over 35 years of tax, accounting, financial, retirement, trust and estate planning experience. Her dynamic presentations on tax and financial matters, including the growing global transparency of the tax industry, make her a sought-after speaker for other professionals, banks, investors, accountants, and the general public.

Today, much of her effort is devoted to helping international private clients with their US tax issues and trust companies with complex trust and corporate structures. Darlene also advises on tax implications of foreign investment into the US and US investment abroad (including pre-immigration planning), along with foreign pensions, and foreign grantor and foreign non-grantor trusts. She works with banks, financial institutions, and trust companies on the US government’s FATCA legislation, which directly affects their relationships with their US clients, as well as assists these companies and their beneficiaries in meeting their US tax filing obligations.

Darlene holds a B.Sc. in Accounting and an M.Sc. in Tax from the University of Houston. She is an Enrolled Agent and a member of the Association of International Accountants.
