We appreciate the feedback from attendees, who gave this live session a 4.8-star rating and their feedback is shared below:

  • The best
  • Valuable information
  • always great material - always too much to absorb
  • Bob Keebler is phenomenal!
  • Bob does a great job.
  • Very good as always. For a future session, I would love to hear about 199A & financial advisors, particularly whether Bob believes that advisors who sell insurance products such as annuities are exempted.
  • issues are glossed over very quickly and are hard to fully understand
  • Great!
  • "Great Q & A!
  • Lots of technical issues with GTW!"
  • Good session
  • great timely info
  • Super summary of new tax law and presented in a clear manner, much more so than other presentations that I've heard recently on the same subject. Bob has a knack for making the complex very simple. Discussion at the end about the interplay between Roth conversions and increasing AGI for purposes of maximizing the QBI deduction certainly merits further examination and is intellectually challenging as well as being attractive in a practical sense. Proposed webinar on 199A for advisors is a great idea.
  • Bob's sessions continue to be some of the best educational tax sessions I have attended.  Please thank he & Andy for making these available to us !!!!
  • Good
  • excellent
  • Jammed packed with material.
  • "Awesome Info.
  • Valuable info and challenging to comprehend.  Need to take a course with Bob.
  • Very relevant and timely material.
  • Toomuch NEW info.  Wish more time on charts presented last 15 minutes  Bob assumes we are at his level of understanding.
  • Excellent.
  • Since I do not prepare returns it is always good to hear this material over and over.
  • That was very good!
  • Several times when he was presenting detailed and important info, his slides did not cover what he was presenting verbally.  And, sometimes the more detailed slides moved too quick.  I will scroll through it again.  I was not familiar with the 199 Cap A provision before the presentation and will need to review them separately.
  • He's awesome, what else can I say.  LET ME ASK... IS THERE ANY WAY TO PAUSE THE PRESENTER WHEN THE POLL GOES UP? I take notes the entire time and when the poll goes up, I want to earn the badge, so I answer the poll and I miss everything the speaker is saying and I cannot see the slide either. Pausing at this point in time will help in these ways. Thanks!
  • Excellent, as Mr. Keebler always is!
  • solid
  • Because of all the information, it went a bit fast.
  • Keebler was great, as always!
  • Excellent - My only wish is that these presentations would start on time.
  • Great job explaining possible strategies
  • Great webinar.  Packed 4 hours into 1 hour.  Could have used much more detail and examples.
  • he covers too many topics very briefly - i prefer fewer topics covered more in-depth
  • some items could have used more detailed examples

  • holds a CFP®, CIMA®, CPA, CPA/PFS, CFA or other designation requiring CE annually 
  • values monthly CE classes by Fritz Meyer, Craig Israelsen, Bob Keebler, Frank Murtha, or Andrew Gluck
  • diversifies a core of client portfolios in low-expense funds
  • invests based on MPT and economic fundamentals
  • advises on tax and financial planning as well as investing
  • needs financial counseling skills
  • wants the Certified Financial Counselor™ designation 
  • is building a brand as a thought leader locally or in a niche
  • wants the facts when bad news breaks
  • wants CE aligned with a content marketing system
  • wants 24/7 access to CE on-demand
  • insists on objective evidenced-based tax and investment planning analysis
MEMBER REVIEWS 
William Desormeau, Jr.  
It is not possible for me to overstate the cumulative value that Craig, Bob and Fritz have added for over 10 years to my investment advisory practice, as well as for personal and family financial planning. A4A gets my highest recommendation
Lynn Najman, CFP®
I’ve subscribed to A4A since its inception, and always find it intellectually stimulating and on point. It’s one of the few CE solutions out there that doesn’t waste my time by pushing product or talking down to me.

A4A has had a profound effect on my business. Since 2009, I’ve relied on the consistent messaging and updates to run my business successfully. Being able to present the information from Bob, Fritz, and Craig's ongoing CE webinars has been a significant benefit.

Fredric Mayerson, MBA, PhD, CFP®
I've been a financial professional and professor of finance for 35 years and find Fritz Meyer and Robert Keebler to be among the most engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and experienced presenters I’ve encountered. They deliver an extraordinary amount of information in an extremely interesting way — sequentially and developmentally, utilizing pedagogical tools and techniques that few possess.  A4A to is the most consistently excellent CE program available.  
Ron Roge, MS, CFP®
I’ve been attending A4A many years because the CE classes are outstanding, and my time is valuable. Though I have over 35 years of experience, I’m always learning something new on A4A. I attend fewer conferences now because the CE is generally not advanced. If you want to learn from the best, in a faster, easier, and less expensive way, I highly recommend A4A.

John R. Day, CPA/PFS®

I’ve been a member since 2011 and never miss the monthly webinars with Fritz Meyer. I appreciate Fritz’s independent views on the economy and markets and Bob Keebler keeps me updated on excellent tax planning ideas. A4A is a great value!

I wouldn't miss a Fritz Meyer webinar unless my pants were on fire. I've relied on Andrew Gluck's knowledge systems --client communications and CE -- for two decades. It's simply the best solution for tax, financial, investment, and risk-management professionals.®   

Dan Hawley, CFP® 

A4A, for over a decade, has been a great resource for useful and accurate information and CE. A4A and Advisor Products are bargains for an advisory practice.

I get CPA CE credit and CFP credit for the webinars.  But not only that, the A4A content is terrific
