I’ll be honest, I’m a relatively new advisor and I think I may have triggered a large tax bill for a client. I’m not seeing a lot of option in terms of realizing unrealized losses in their account.

Hey...as long as it’s LT capital gains...it’s not such
a bad time to take those. And if they’re in the 10% or 12% tax brackets (I know highly unlikely), then they’re in the zero cap gain bracket.
What did you do?

Knew a guy who in his first week selling advised a prospect to liquidate and transfer everything. Unfortunately it was a non qualified annuity with 200k in gains.

You'll have to position it too, you had gains which is great! Sometimes you have to pay taxes due to gains. Unless they planned on paying the assets to the kids, they would of been realized eventually and rates are low

Unless it was short term or they are in the 38% bracket it can be explained.... harvest any tax losses in the account as well... if it's short term then lesson learned don't do it again

Sooo what did you do? You’re leaving us all hanging here.

You made money for your client! They should be grateful

Have any of you taken "low bono" clients while working at a firm? I want to take on a low bono client or two but not sure who would get the money. This is a contract opportunity through a non profit so I'm assuming a 1099 will be issued. The per hour rate is significantly less than my billable rate. I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.

I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.

Everyone has a different perspective on this but would love to hear yours. Someone has debt ranging say 4-5% interest rates.

I know the latter looks better on paper but what about the psychological factors of being debt free and the guaranteed return on interest savings.
