Description

Pre-tax retirement savings never made sense. But it was our only option decades ago. Now we have something much more powerful in the Roth. However, people are investing pre-tax like it's 1980. James will discuss the power of investing in the Roth and how a solid understanding of this investment vehicle can help clients save in tax-advantaged accounts for the future. CPAs can add value to their practice by helping their clients understand these vehicles and whether to convert pretax savings into Roth accounts.
