What Our Clients Say

"Frank and his team saved me from a tax disaster. I had no idea I was supposed to pay quarterly taxes on my NIL income. By the time I found out, I was already behind and facing penalties. Frank helped me get caught up, set up a payment plan, and showed me how to stay on track going forward. I can't thank them enough."

Jordan M. College Basketball Player

"As a parent, I was completely lost. My daughter signed her first NIL deal and we had no idea what to do about taxes. Strategic Planning Advisors walked us through everything step-by-step. They made it simple and stress-free. Now we have a plan and peace of mind."

Michelle R. Parent of Division I Athlete

"They treat you like family, not just a tax return. Lori and Frank are the real deal. They take the time to explain things in plain English and actually care about your success. I recommend them to every athlete I know."
