Practitioner Tax Planning Series

Why Good Tax Planning Fails: Implementation, Documentation and Follow-Through

Turning technically correct recommendations into completed, evidenced, reviewable results.

A recommendation is not complete because the memo was delivered or the email was sent. Elections must be accepted, payroll must actually begin, accounts must be moved, reimbursements must be documented, and the file should preserve evidence that the intended action occurred.

Who should attend
