Susan Tillery, CPA/PFS, began her career journey in tax and eventually landed with her own fee for service financial planning firm that she owns with her husband, Tom. Their firm is designed to provide education and planning to their clients, and they team with other advisers to manage investments and do the tax compliance work. They also provide education and other resources to CPAs who want to add financial planning to their offerings. In this episode of the PFP Section podcast, Lyle Benson, CPA/PFS, interviews Susan. Susan answers the following questions:

How did you land where you are now and what services do you offer clients? How did you divide responsibilities between you and your partner? What led you to teach other CPAs how to implement your business model and how do you do this? What has been most important to you about the AICPA PFP community? What’s your best advice for those adding financial planning to their services?
