One thing all your clients have in common is they’d like to pay as little tax as possible. Even if you don’t think you’re doing tax planning, you’re often making decisions that have meaningful tax impacts on their lives. There was only one institution that could deliver this knowledge on the right scale to me, and that’s The College.
Jeffrey Levine
CFP®, CPA/PFS, ChFC®, RICP®, CWS, AIF, BFA™
The CPA and the lawyer can’t do this alone, and we’re missing a leg of the table if the financial advisor is not tax-savvy and questioning what strategies can be used and how things are being reported.
Alan Gassman
JD, LLM, AEP®
The strength of The College’s curriculum is what drew me to it, and it’s what allowed me to expand my opportunities and accelerate my career through that knowledge.
Heather Welsh
CFP®, AEP®, MSFS
The College has always been there for me, with some of the top thought leaders in the business as part of their curriculum. I don't know how else I could have gotten a world-class education in specialized financial planning knowledge without a distance learning partner like them.
Scott Winslow
MSFS, ChFC®, CLU®, RICP®, AEP®, CCFC
The College’s education has been like body armor for me. I’ll absolutely be a lifelong learner.
Terry Parham, MSFP, CFP®, ChFC®, CLU®, RICP®, WMCP®
Co-Founder and Financial Planner, Innovative Wealth Building
What I learned at The American College of Financial Services gave me the confidence and knowledge to get creative with helping business owners and others in need of succession planning fund their own retirements.
Irv Rosenzweig, CFP®, ChFC®, CLU®, CRPS®, AEP®, AIF®
Executive Business Consultant, Diversified LLC
When I’m talking to someone who wants to be a part of our team, it definitely sets them apart if they have a designation or degree from The College. We have developed our own career progression, and enrolling in a College program is a huge part of that.
Kristen Kartisek, MBA, CLU®
Director, Senior Recruiter, Sequoia Financial Group
The American College of Financial Services is the citadel of knowledge. Applied knowledge is power, and it’s allowed me to explain complex issues in a way clients and their advisors can understand.
