LINKSShow NotesAbout Arno Wealth GUESTS Vince NelsonAbout Vince TRANSCRIPT (AI transcript provided as supporting material and may contain errors) Jeff: Well, hello again everybody. This is Jeff Pawlow and I'm the president of the Engineered Advisory Family of Companies and your host for the Advisory Accelerator podcast, a show that works to help CPAs become more advisory-minded in their individual practices. On today's show, I'm happy to welcome back our friend, Vince Nelson, who is the managing partner of Arno Wealth, who's going to help us navigate the incredibly complex world of tax-efficient investing as CPAs. I'm sure that you've got clients that are high net worth individuals or maybe have had a liquidity event and they're turning to you for advice in the areas of how to mitigate some of the tax related to those issues. So I'm really looking forward to today's conversation. Vince, welcome to the Advisory Accelerator Podcast. Vince: Well, jeff. Thank you so much. It's an honor to be with you. Jeff: You know I'm excited to talk with you because your presentation had such an impact at the Haboo Conference last year and for those who are listening that weren't at the conference, Vince introduced one of the products that they have that's called the Wildlife Fund, and I was just fascinated about how a program like that could allow an investor to kind of do good from a society standpoint but also help mitigate some of the taxes involved with a liquidity event that maybe they've had or just perhaps they're high net worth individuals. But it was fascinating to see how that particular product was developed and came together. But then I was even more impressed with you, kind of saying like hey, if it fits it's great and we can talk about it. But this doesn't necessarily. It's not one stop shopping where we've got a single solution we're trying to apply across all of our clients. And then you went on to talk a little bit about all the different things that are available through Arno Wealth. So as we jump in today, let's speak to those CPAs that perhaps don't have a wealth management practice or a defined wealth management partner a defined wealth management partner and at the same time have clients that are turning to them for this type of advice and are looking to do something other than just refer it to Merrill Lynch or Edward Jones or something like that. So, Vince, let's start out. Recap for me just all the cool things that make up the Wildlife Fund. Vince: Yeah, and before I do that, jeff apologies, but housekeeping rules that our compliance department requires me say just a couple of things that are very boring, but I'll say them quickly so we can get them out of the way that basically, our ...

So I'm a former ADP guy. I was there for many years and one day made a call up to corporate and was asking for some money to donate to a local nonprofit so we could get involved in a cause they were having. They were having a 5K. We actually wanted to just sponsor it. It wasn't even a donation, so it was hey, we're going to get our logo on the back of the T-shirt. The team's all going to go out and be a part of the 5K. It's going to be a team building opportunity. It's going to be a team building opportunity. It's only a few hundred bucks but, you know, be a great way to get more integrated into the community and show them we're not just a big brand, that's not part of the community. And they said you know what, matt, we just can't get involved at the local level. And you know those words ring through. I still hear them clear as day today.
