Understand the tax advantages and disadvantages to better advise your clients on entity selection.
Successfully forming an exempt organization and filing for a federal income tax exemption is complicated. It involves understanding and navigation of both state and federal laws.

In addition, you should gain a basic understanding of how to transition a business to family members and / or key employees, or in the alternative, getting ready to sell the business at its optimal value and providing an income stream post-ownership for retirement.
