Surgent's Raising Financially Capable Children
Available Until Apr. 30, 2026
Online
2.00 Credits
Member Price: $89
This course focuses on the main elements of financial education and will help accounting and finance professionals guide their clients, and their clients' children, through a personalized teaching roadmap. Clients with wealth face questions about how to teach their children about money to raise financially capable children. Often, clients' first contact is with their accounting and financial professionals, so it is important to be able to provide a framework to help teach clients how to prepare their children for life with privilege. This course is designed for all practitioners who want to help their clients navigate the process of teaching the next generation about personal finances. Because every family and child are different, it is critical to develop a specific plan for each client, and likely each child and grandchild. By working with their clients' descendants, accounting and finance professionals not only build rapport and trust but also get to know the children and grandchildren, building firm value and long-term connection. With new and updated information and tactics, professionals can learn best practices to engage clients and their children.Delivery Method: On-Demand WebcastCPE Credit: Specialized knowledgeProgram Level: BasicThis course is being offered by a 3rd party vendor and will not be accessible on your My CPE page.
