Helping Diligent Advisors Ensure They're On The Right Planning Path

College Resources: College Funding Checklist & 529 Plan Distribution Rules Flowchart


Resource Additions, Announcements

We are excited to release both a checklist and a flowchart this month.  This month, we have a theme! Both resources are related to paying for college. 

For Essential and Deluxe members, here are the two resources being released today:

What Issues Should I Consider To Fund My Child’s College Education?: This checklist covers 21 planning issues to identify and questions to ask a client who is thinking about how to fund college for a child.

Is The Distribution From My 529 Plan Taxable?: This flowchart covers the issues related to 529 plan distributions.  There are several questions to ask a client to ensure there won’t be any unexpected tax surprises for the client.

What do you think of these two new resources?  Send me an email – I’d love to hear your thoughts.

“I think fpPathfinder is the best tool I’ve ever seen in the financial planning realm. I spend an unbelievable amount of time researching some of these issues that have been boiled down to one page: consulting with other experts, citing specific sources as a backup, reviewing my work, and coming to a final conclusion.”

“I had my own internal set of workflows, but by piggybacking fpPathfinder, I've saved who knows how many hours. It's a great product and I'll be a subscriber for years.”

“What you guys have created is pretty badass! I’ve used your material for both client meetings and prospective clients.”
— An advisor in California
“With working from home most of 2020, we wanted to still catch some face time with our clients. We used the checklists and flowcharts to conduct webinars covering various topics. In fact, having the charts readily available, we were able to do many of these on a weekly basis, knowing the material was pretty much already established. We had such great feedback that we are continuing the webinars into 2021. We have many that actually look forward to our meeting times, and found being able to have the flowchart or checklist available to work on their own later was an added bonus.”
