Unlocking The Future: Empower Your Practice As An Elder Planning Specialist.

About Us

After retiring from his financial planning practice seven years ago, Bob Mauterstock immersed himself in engaging with financial advisors all over the country, from whom he gleaned invaluable insights. Among the most striking revelations was the scarcity of preparedness among financial advisors to address the myriad challenges faced by their aging clients.

Throughout their careers, many advisors had primarily focused on building their clients’ assets for retirement and overseeing their finances to achieve these objectives. However, with the retirement of a significant number of clients (approximately 10,000 boomers per day), they found themselves lacking the necessary expertise to safeguard their clients against the potential hardships of long-term care and the complexities of aging.

We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with the National FPA to co-market the Elder Planning Specialist program! Our next cohort is scheduled for 2025! Click the button below to get on our waitlist.
