There are currently about 6.1m business owners with employees, 625,000 401 (k) plans in place, and about 25,000 cash balance plans. The common nexus to America's business owners is the CPA. In this session, you will learn simple language that will transform the conversation from a conversation around top-line numbers into a process of simple steps to follow to help clients understand the opportunities to engage with you around their retirement plan, how the plan can help your client create programs that are custom tailored to their corporate culture, and how, after years of building a practice, the business owner can finally start to save for retirement in a meaningful way.
