À propos de l'auteur

William G. (Bill) Cummings, CPA, CTC, and PFS, is president of the Cummings Financial Organization. Bill likes the challenge of being a CPA and Financial Planner. With so many moving parts to the business, such as the economy, regulatory matters, client’s emotions, monetary, tax, and social factors, it is like putting a puzzle together to help his clients see the big picture, instead of all of the moving parts. When his father’s stroke and Alzheimer’s brought the family to action, Bill quickly learned what he did not know about health care decisions, and now he helps other families become informed. Today he has first-hand experience with such matters as how to pay the least amount in taxes, retirement planning, investment planning, insurance planning, estate planning, and elder care planning. Bill acts as a “chief financial officer” for his clients, as he coordinates all aspects of their financial matters. Bill and his wife, Kimberli, reside in beautiful Tampa, Florida; they have five children. He and his wife are active in their community, supporting various charities in the Tampa Bay.
