Webinar of the Month

Our August 2020 Webinar of the Month is..."Share Splitting"

As we mentioned in the "Time Saver & Helpful Hint" section of this eNewsletter, one of our clients recently had a situation where the securities requiring valuation had to be split into three separate portfolios by percentages to complete an inheritance tax return. Our new program, "Share Splitter", automated this manual process improving accuracy and saving time. This webinar will provide an introduction to this easy to use product.

Our complimentary webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, August 19, from 11:30a to 12:00p EDT. You can REGISTER for the webinar by clicking HERE.
