This is part 2 of the PFP Section podcast that marks our CPA financial planning history and celebrates the journey of where we’ve been to take us into the future. We once again invited other AICPA volunteer leaders into the discussion to help us share our story. In this episode, Lyle Benson, CPA/PFS, Andrea Millar, CPA/PFS, and other CPA financial planners discuss:

• What are the investment adviser regulatory issues that CPAs need to understand?
• Why should we all consider embracing calling these services personal financial planning?
• The purpose behind The Statement on Standards in Personal Financial Planning Services and how this elevates CPAs
• Why having personal financial planning on the CPA exam will be a game changer?
• The education that supports the CPA way of providing these services
• What is the coach approach and why is it so crucial?  
• What are the attributes you need to flourish into the future?
• What you get back by being involved in your CPA financial planning profession?
• Why we all need to come together to leave a legacy?
