Five Key Reasons to Attend Our One-Day Tax Workshop in Arizona on March 12, 2019
"Tax planning has become table stakes for advisors serving clients with complex needs. Increasingly, these advisors are looking at the entire balance sheet and income statement of clients to identify ways to optimize their wealth."—Gabriel Garcia, managing director at BNY Mellon’s Pershing Advisor Solutions.
-
Don’t miss this once in a generation opportunity…
-
There’s money to be saved and taxes to be avoided...
-
But you and your clients must know about it—and take action!
-
It’s your chance to shine!
-
Don’t let your competitors reach your clients and prospects.
Key #1: Clients and Prospects Need Custom Advice
There is no one answer to the question, “What’s in it for me?” But answers there are. There are more than 25 key questions to address—and nearly all have implications for your clients. It’s imperative that you engage clients about the importance of taxes in saving, investing, and planning. Guiding clients to begin thinking about their tax liabilities reinforces the idea that they need to come to you to thoroughly review their situations.
Key #2: An Important Chance to Act as a Financial Educator:
Taxes are embedded in nearly everything you do for clients—regardless of what your compliance department may think. The new tax rules give you a chance to demonstrate your knowledge, your insights, and your professionalism by educating clients and prospects about the intersection of taxes and their plans to save, send kids to college, and retire.
Key #3: The New Tax Rules Impact Everyone
The market is huge—every individual and business is affected. They know the laws should mean something to them, but they don’t know what. They’re desperate to know how to react, and where they need to seek advice. Teaching clients or prospects about the new tax rules will strengthen loyalty with existing clients and attract prospects who are searching for advisors who offer holistic planning services.
Key #4: Either You Do It—Or a Competitor Will!
If you are reluctant to discuss taxes with your clients, you’re missing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to add value and differentiate yourself against competitors, who will happily talk to your clients. Don’t let that happen.
Key #5: CPAs and Attorneys Need Education and Advice, Too
The new tax rules present a major opportunity to get in front of potential CPAs, attorneys, and other strategic allies who are not yet versed on the significance of the changes. Yes, many accountants need help here, too. Their focus is typically backward looking. Your approach is forward looking in the best interests of clients. Attorneys nearly always need help with tax issues.
Attend our one-day workshop and learn to guide clients (and your own firm) on the importance of the new rules in savings, investing, and planning!
