As we approach tax season, it is important to understand different types of tax forms, and why we need them. If you’re hiring a new employee, or trying to report your income tax returns, you have come to the right place! Tax forms are essential for all small businesses and must be filled out properly. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is constantly on the move and requires every small business to file their taxes.

As someone who has been tasked with helping independent financial advisors, RIAs and other financial professionals deliver predictable, quality leads over the last decade, I often find that most of these pros ultimately have the exact same goal when it comes to their online presence. At the end of the day, they just want to be able to generate more leads – either because they want to secure a better future for their firm or because they simply want to grow their AUM as much as possible.

Why Do Financial Advisors Benefit From Working With Marketing Companies? Most financial advisors don’t have a lot of time to devote to their marketing strategy. Not only are they busy running their business and serving their clients, marketing may not be their expertise or interest. That’s why top advisors outsource their marketing to proven professionals that understand our industry and compliance. .

By John Mauldin The Federal Reserve System is supposed to be independent. But it’s not. And as much as Donald Trump doesn’t like it, the Fed shouldn’t follow the president’s orders. The Fed operates under a legal mandate from Congress. Its monetary policy role is “to promote maximum employment, stable prices and moderate long-term interest rates.” So how is it doing?

The S&P 500 is up 29%* this year, but it has been more of a grind than a blistering advance. This is fairly common bull markets. You might think that big annual gains are defined by big daily gains, but that's not necessarily the case. This year there have been 20 days where the S&P 500 gained between 1 and 2%.

This time last year we were on the doorstep of a bear market. Or were we? The decline in stocks in the fourth quarter of 2018 won't make it into the textbooks because on a closing basis, stocks never fell 20%. But as you can see, if we go from high to low on an intraday basis, then stocks did break the plane. To me this is tom-ay-toe tom-ah-toe. If you're going to make the argument that this wasn't a bear market, then it should have less to do with depth and more to do with duration.

Like being inches from the end zone, many advisors are frustratingly close to their next level of success. You work hard. You put in the hours. But if your closing rate is stuck or your pipeline feels like a revolving door… something has to change. Most advisors are just one small shift away from dramatically increasing their revenue. The difference?
