View All Professional Development
Description
All materials will be electronic only
Closely held business clients look to their CPA to provide timely tax planning advice. Qualified plans offer one of the most significant tax deferral opportunities, especially when designed specifically to fit a business owner’s own tax and financial goals. This program will discuss options available to design a plan that provides maximum value to the business owner while keeping other plan costs under control.
CPAs looking to show clients why their services are of more value than the “average” tax professional will want to attend this session.
