Changing client needs and expectations coupled with a rapidly evolving professional and technological landscape, it’s up to you to keep up. Perhaps now more than ever, clients are looking to you, their trusted adviser, to help. Not only are clients looking for answers to their personal finance questions, but they want to go deeper. Can they retire early? If so, what sort of lifestyle can they live? What if their child needs special education or how will they keep their hard-earned wealth in the family? Let the AICPA’s PFP Section help you stay ahead of all these changes and take your client relationships all the way, because right now, your services are key.
