FRANK DE SAXCÉ was born in Moultrie, Georgia in the USA and spent the first three years of his life in the US before moving to France where he received a French education ending with his Baccalauréat in Economics which he received in 1975. He then came back to the States and took an M.B.A or Master’s in Business Administration at NYU; he became a New York Certified Public Accountant, an Auditor and finally a Tax Specialist with Price Waterhouse in New York City in 1980. In 1981-82, he was transferred to the Price Waterhouse correspondent office in Paris where he managed expatriate tax returns and miscellaneous audits in France. Since 1983, Frank De Saxcé has been a self-employed auditor and tax consultant and has taught Accounting and Finance. In 1987 and 2007, he edited a bilingual Accounting, Tax and Financial Dictionary and became a finance lawyer in Paris in 1994-1995. In 2009, he first wrote ‘The Last of the Esso Workers’ under the pseudonym of ‘Basil Sadexec,’ an interesting book and it is why I brought him on the show today. In 2013, he formerly retired from his business and law practice but still consults on a part-time basis
