“I consider it a great honor to be an InvestmentNews Innovator. I’ve been a CPA for more than 40 years.

I set out to help fill this void and provide the education needed for Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money,” said Slott. “With retirement laws continuing to change and evolve, the demand for continuing education is higher than ever, and I am proud to be able to contribute to the industry by providing accurate information on the latest retirement planning strategies.”
