OUTLINE
This is our most comprehensive seminar! The full Business, Tax & Financial Management course covers a week’s worth of material, including aggressive but legal tax-saving strategies, maximizing retirement plan investing—from traditional and Roth IRAs to 401(k)s and cash balance plans—insurance doctors need (and should avoid), practice management to maximize profitability, employees and fringe benefit programs, practice transitions, financial planning and investing, estate and trust planning, and more. As with all our courses, the information is direct, easy to implement, unbiased, and sprinkled with a healthy dose of humor!
COURSE OUTLINE:
- Tax Law Changes and an Aggressive But Legal Approach to Cutting Taxes - The course content will address tax law changes that came out of the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath.

- Improve Profitability - Common sense ways to improve profitability.
- Estate Planning – Tips for a new era of higher tax rates and lower lifetime exemptions.
- Insurance Needs - Appropriate levels (if any) of life, disability, liability, and long-term care insurance. What the insurance sales people prefer you don’t know.

HOTEL/RESORT
Sandals Grenada Pink Gin Beach Resort
PLEASE NOTE: OUR SEMINAR POLICY IS THAT ALL SEMINAR ATTENDEES ARE REQUIRED TO BOOK THEIR ROOM(S) WITHIN THE COLLIER & ASSOCIATES ROOM BLOCK AT SANDALS.
IF YOU DO NOT, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE SEMINAR, DEDUCT YOUR TRAVEL COSTS, NOR RECEIVE CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS.
The reason is that Sandals is providing us with the meeting room space, food and coffee breaks, cocktail reception, and group dinners. And because these can be large events, Sandals often has to hire extra staff. They require us to fill our contracted room block and we must live up to that commitment. This has been our consistent policy.
We’re aware that some of the doctors have taken Sandals memberships. That’s great, and we hope that the doctors can take great family trips and accrue Sandals points through that. But, unfortunately, they can’t sign up and attend the seminar through that program. Of course, they could always just go to Sandals that week, but they can’t attend the seminar, the group events, or ultimately deduct that week.
