2025 was our first full year of offering a new designation program: the Tax Planning Certified Professional® (TPCP®).

With tax planning a growing demand amid the increasing complexity of financial decision-making, the TPCP® Program was created to provide financial professionals with the knowledge and skill to deliver tax-informed advice and to help their clients keep more and pay less.
The program was a tremendous success, and professionals from across the country answered the call, exceeding Zoom capacities and making headlines for taking on this groundbreaking designation. As TPCP® holders know and others soon will learn, a strong understanding of tax policy and regulations can improve all aspects of financial planning. From retirement planning or special needs planning to legacy and estate planning, tax planning touches all components of a client’s comprehensive financial planning.
