R David Finzer is an acknowledged expert in international business organizations, wealth preservation and tax efficiency. He also has extensive international organization and governmental experience at the top executive level. He is a published author and has served as a consultant to the FBI on matters of international fraud and other non-tax related crimes.

In addition to being a principal of Capital Conservator Treasury Services, Finzer is also the Chairman the newly formed Swift Financial Group, which was formed to bring together the years of experience possessed by the Group’s partners in order to provide dynamic and innovative solutions for the international financial services business in the face of vastly changed legal and geopolitical circumstances since the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001.

The various affiliates of the Swift Group already under the Swift Group umbrella are in the process of being fully integrated into it. The Swift Group thus enjoys the benefits of a continuous corporate existence since 1996. The key operating units of the Swift Group include the Office of Philip W. Smith, Capital Conservator Treasury Services SA, Wealth-Shield International and ancillary companies.

Finzer has expanded his area of authorship with extensive writings and a book about Living in Uruguay.  He is also the primary editor and publisher of a series of websites promoting investment and residency in Uruguay, the two most important of which are www.UruguayDailyNews.com and www.UruguayLiving.com.

Wealth-Shield International, a leading asset protection and corporate planning company, came into existence in 2003, through the merger of the LIFE Offshore Group and the Trinity Financial Group, with Finzer as CEO.

From 2001 to 2003 Finzer was the Deputy Chairman of Trinity International Bank in Podgorica, Montenegro, while serving simultaneously as the Managing Director of the LIFE Offshore Group of Companies (1996-2003).

In 2002, Finzer wrote the Universal Companies Act for the Grenada International Financial Services Authority. It was designed to be the most advanced company legislation in the world, but was never enacted because Grenada discontinued its offshore financial sector because of the repercussion of an international banking scandal that implicated the highest levels of government.

For more than 20 years Finzer has been involved in the international financial services industry having worked in Nevis, Grenada, Yugoslavia and Costa Rica.

From 1983 to 1987 Finzer served as Chairman of the Conservative Action Foundation (CAF), a Washington, D.C. based pro-freedom activist group. He was also a member of the White House Anti-Terrorism Working Group under President Ronald Reagan.

From 1985 to 1990 Finzer served concurrently as an Executive Member of the World Anti-Communist League (WACL) and as Secretary-General of the World Youth Freedom League (WYFL). Finzer also had a private consulting practice which provided services to officials in Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, South Africa, South Korea and elsewhere.

From 1987 to 1990, Finzer served as Senior Partner of Finzer & Richardson, Limited. The firm's activities included providing a confidential executive news service; business consulting in Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Europe, and East Asia; public relations consulting for various foreign and domestic customers; and offshore consulting for American customers.

In 1984-85 Finzer was a founder and director of the United States International Youth Year Commission, the official US agency for coordination of the United Nations International Youth Year celebration.

Prior to coming to Washington, Finzer was a successful entrepreneur, as well as the host of a local TV talk show and the author of a syndicated newspaper column on world affairs.
