Being an accountant is literally in Charles’ blood as the son of two CPAs

It was a university class in international tax that sparked his passion for the niche and decision to become an International Tax Nerd. Charles earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Accounting and International Tax from The University of Georgia after obtaining most of his undergrad hours at The University of Mississippi (Hotty Toddy!). Charles began his career in international tax at a Big 4 accounting firm working with global companies. After three years’ worth of exposure to a wide variety of transactions and clients, he was a natural fit for Schwartz International and later at its spin-off, CGC International Tax, where he serves as managing partner.

The managing partner role has allowed him to take on more responsibility as the firm has continued to expand. He particularly relishes the challenges and opportunities that each individual and business client brings, since no two issues are ever completely the same. Charles is an active member of IFA (International Fiscal Association), the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) and the Georgia Society of CPAs.
