The ability to do tax planning makes you more valuable to your clients.
The typical tax professional is reactive, tracking client expenditures to help them claim the tax deductions they already qualify for. A tax planner is proactive, strategically working with his or her clients so they can be eligible for more of the 400 tax deductions allowed by the U.S. tax code. A tax coach can save his or her clients thousands of dollars, and clients will pay more to learn about these strategies to reduce their taxable income! The average tax fees per client may increase up to $15,000 or more each year.

Woot woot! Life-changing paradigm shift. AICTP is such an incredible resource for tax pros looking to shift from a reactive, compliance-focused practice to a proactive, collaborative tax planning practice. I've already started making changes. Powerful stuff.

This 3 day seminar was arguably the best education and training event that I’ve attended in my more than 20 year career. The system is well thought out from sales to analysis to delivery to retention, and it delivered real value.
