ACAT President's Letter Regarding Tax Preparer Legislation


THE ANSWER IS ACAT

Every professional needs a professional credential.

How can I best promote my accounting skills? ACAT credentials show that you have made continuing professional development a priority, providing evidence to the public of the strength of your accounting abilities.

How can I assure my clients I am current with tax law changes? An ACAT Accredited Tax Advisor or Accredited Tax Preparer have proved they know the current tax law.

What will bring new clients to my door? Your reputation and integrity are vital to the health of your business. Your ACAT credentials and the tough standards of the ACAT accreditation programs ensure clients that you meet the highest standards.

How do I show my clients who are retiring that I can still provide the best financial advice for their future? Show your clients you have an ACAT accreditation - Accredited Retirement Advisor Studies for the certification give you the knowledge and tools to help prepare clients for retirement, estate and trust planning as well as financial planning for the elderly.

How can I stand out from the crowd? Education is the key. Having ACAT credentials proves you are among the best in the business. Obtaining credentials gives you a competitive advantage.

An ACAT credential after your name proves you are among the best in the business.
