​What you will learn

Using sophisticated tools students will learn tax and financial planning competencies in order to help clients adequately fund tax-efficient income requirements by accumulating, growing, preserving and transitioning wealth through three phases of retirement: pre-retirement, in-retirement and post retirement.
