Non-Financial (Preparedness) Planning
In the normal course of business with your Financial Planning clients you may advise on issues related to Investment Planning, Estate Planning, Business Success Planning, and Fringe Benefits Planning.
However, there is another type of “Non-Financial Planning” that is also extremely important to protect your clients and their families – physical preparation for events outside of their control – such as natural disasters and human-induced calamities.
This course will provide basic guidance on how to advise clients on preparing for worst-case physical and financial scenarios, and how to potentially integrate this type of planning into your services.

Using IRC Section 125 to Turn the Tide on Rising Healthcare Cost
The program focuses on the inflationary cost of healthcare in America today and how combing two compliance/ approved programs can result in greater value and savings to both employers and employees.
It demonstrates that healthcare programs can be brought under financial control without changing your current brokers or your current healthcare companies but through the addition of a section of the ACA program (Section 125)
introduced by Congress in 1978 and modified again in 1984, 2000 and 2004.
The program is insured and fully compliant. It will result in a significant financial saving for employers while increasing the take home pay of employees.
It is currently being employed by Amazon, various healthcare facilities and many smaller employers to increase profits and improve employee stress over the cost of healthcare. If you or your clients are dealing with the high cost of medical insurance this represents an alternative which must be understood.
