Come and see what hundreds of professional advisors are calling 'their ticket' to exit planning success. Pinnacle Equity Solution's Exit Planning Chapter Meetings are where the industry's best trained and most committed professional advisors and consultants gather to 'learn and earn' with and from each other. Our next Boston Chapter meeting will be held on at the Downtown Harvard Club in Boston, MA (1 Federal Street, not the Commonwealth Ave., Harvard Club location).
Pinnacle's Chapter meetings are designed as half-day educational sessions for the Members of Pinnacle's training program. However, due to the growing demand for the inclusion of a larger group of professional advisors, we are inviting non-members to attend our entire networking and educational session from 7:30 until 12:00.
Pinnacle Members have access to the half-day of training and business development curriculum and networking. Our guests can meet the Members who are quarterbacking exit plans and honing their practices to fill specialized niches within the exit planning engagements.
You are encouraged to attend and become a part of Pinnacle's growing family of professional advisors by attending this upcoming event. Come and see for yourself how our leading training and networking programs can help you grow your exit planning practice.
Agenda
- 7:30 – 8:00 am: Breakfast/Coffee and networking
- 8:00 - 8:30 am: Welcome & Introductions
- 8:30 - 10:00 am: Guest Speaker – Ryan Boland Director of the Complex Asset Group at Fidelity Charitable, one of the nation's largest public charities, will demonstrate how to leverage a client's highly appreciated non-publicly traded assets (including privately held C Corp shares, S Corp shares, LLC interests, and LP interests) to fund their philanthropic mission. Because these assets are often the most tax efficient to give, it is important, as part of a comprehensive exit strategy, to examine the donation of privately held business interests. Ryan will detail through case studies 1) how to identify the best assets to donate; 2) key considerations when recommending charitable gifts of non-publicly traded assets, including anticipatory assignment of income issues and appraisal requirements; 3) common pitfalls and reasons why the majority of otherwise viable complex asset donations fail; 4) acceptance policies and procedures of exempt organizations; and 5) factors to evaluate when deciding between charitable recipients for complex asset donations.
- 10:00 – 10:15 am: Break
Members Only Meeting
- 10:15 - 12:00 pm: Case Study Session- Learn from other advisors who are actively working with clients on exit plans and promote your business by providing solutions to the business owner's situation.
