Despite all the media attention on the new Trump Accounts (a product of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act), it's likely most of our clients will want to continue using 529 plans as their primary savings vehicle for college-bound kids.

We put together a graphic-driven article looking at the changing cost of college and how 529 plans can help. While we're still waiting on some of the relevant guidance on Trump Accounts, these plans are designed to be a more general savings and investment account; they weren't designed with education in mind.

To celebrate our 5-year anniversary, we thought a little bit of a refresh was in order. Don't worry—we haven't changed anything about our fundamental services or offerings. But we HAVE given our website a refresh.

Our goal is to create a site that's easy to navigate; one that you're eager to visit for information and education; something you're proud to share with friends and family when you refer them our way.

Same URL, just a fresh look for summer.

To be truly strategic about investing, you need to look beyond what you own... and consider which accounts you're holding your investments in.

This can be a particularly important for investors hoping to minimize their tax bill.

Ask your advisor if he's taking "tax location" into account when managing your investments. And keep this article handy so you can follow along and ensure you agree with their approach. https://quorumpw.com/insights/tax-location-why-the-where-matters/

After all the layoffs in 2025, even successful executives are wondering: Do I need to go back to school?

If you're worried about AI... or looking to network and find a competitive edge via business school... make sure you ask yourself a few key questions before applying for an MBA:

- Are there other ways to make these connections, like professional associations?
- Are some programs better than others? (Sometimes programs with close proximity to desirable companies offer better networking opportunities than prestigious schools!)
- Can you quantify the value of those connections in any way (e.g., do you hope to shift to a different industry where pay is higher)?

Putting some quantifiable metrics onto abstract concepts like "networking" can help you evaluate the true cost, and true benefits, of a degree. This type of analysis can help prevent "buyers" remorse later on.

Getting a promotion is great news... but it not every employer offers the financial education required to understand your new compensation package.

For instance: Do you know an 83(b) election can help you save money in certain circumstances where company stock is involved?

As you might expect, there are rules involved, so working with a professional helps.

If you're curious how 83(b) elections work, including the risk involved, reach out to discuss.
