Frequently Asked Questions

How is a Certified Tax Coach different than a local CPA, Enrolled Agent, or Certified Financial Planner?

CPA and EA are valuable marks. However, they can indicate a variety of specialties and only indicate what they are, not how they benefit you.

Certified Tax Coaches are a leading group of tax professionals who are specially trained in the art of long-term, proactive tax planning. In addition to their standard certifications and tax degrees, Certified Tax Coaches are required to complete comprehensive education focusing on high-impact tax planning strategies. Certified Tax Coaches are also required to adhere to the American Institute of Certified Tax Coaches (AICTC) Code of Ethics which provides assurance that the strategies and ideas used to create your plan stay within the boundaries of the law.

The AICTC upholds a strict Code of Ethics to ensure the highest standards of integrity and excellence among its members.


After creating a Proactive Tax Strategy, what else will my Certified Tax Coach do for me?

The best results come from building strong relationships with your Certified Tax Coach so that you benefit from their years of training and experience.
