As we have heard often in this podcast series, Lori Luck, CPA/PFS, didn’t take a straight path to becoming a CPA financial planner. Though the knowledge and skills she learned along the way developed her into a CPA financial planner who has clients for life. In this episode of the PFP Section podcast guided by Lyle Benson, CPA/PFS, Lori shares her story and her wisdom by answering the following questions:

Why do the business, finance, and tax skills of CPAs make them strong personal financial planners?
How did your own life events play a role in becoming a financial planner?
How do you offer the full scope of needs for your clients from tax compliance to investment management and all in between?
What is AICPA doing to make sure students know about this career path and serve CPA financial planners throughout their career journey?
What is the future of the CPA financial planning profession?
