Financial Planning Advisory Services:
An Extension of Your Tax Practice

Building an advisory service that gives clients peace of mind & grows your revenue.

As tax compliance services face increasing competition, now is the time to extend your practice to include a high-value, future-ready personal financial planning service.

This will smooth your workload, bolster your revenue stream, and deepen your relationships with individual tax clients who are seeking advice on topics like cash flow planning, retirement planning, tax planning, and issues in risk management, education planning and more.

In this workshop, you will create a roadmap to formalize your financial planning service line. In two days, you will select your initial service offerings, establish your client positioning, and determine how you will individualize plans for each client within your systematized process to begin offering the service line within weeks of attending.

Leverage your firm’s expertise to offer individual clients an ongoing, recurring engagement that goes beyond answering the annual tax questions.

 

Who should attend?

“Tax preparers from firms of all sizes looking to build a valuable year-round relationship with individual tax clients, without necessarily offering wealth management services.”
