COVID-19 is bringing much change and uncertainty to the world and it’s
important to find calm amid the chaos. No one can control market volatility,
with fear being a major influencer on the fluctuations, though investment
principles have not changed. In this episode, Susan Tillery, CPA/PFS, chair of
the PFP Executive Committee, and Dave Stolz, CPA/PFS, chair of the PFS
Credential Committee, share how they are putting their clients first – and in
doing that, reinforcing the value of the CPA financial planner. They address
the following questions:
How are your clients reacting and what are you saying to them?
What assurances can you give your clients about the market outlook and their financial plan?
How do you interact with a particularly nervous client, family member or friend?
What can CPAs do to lead and be a source of calm in this time of uncertainty?
How do you take care of you so that you are your best for your clients and family?
What are some ways that you can help others in your community?
