Optimum CPA Solutions (OCS) is on a mission: To minimize future college debt for millions of Americans. As families struggle to repay $1.6 Trillion<\/a> in student loan debt, OCS is working with CPAs to help future families with college-bound students avoid many of the costly mistakes that have led to today’s massive debt loads.<\/p>\n

The statistics are startling. Without a Pre-College Plan, 50% of freshmen fail to graduate, 60% of grads take 6 years or more to complete a 4-year degree, and unprepared for hidden expenses, 64% of students run out of money every semester. These trends have resulted in those without a Pre-College Plan spending up to 3.5 times more for college than those with one…along with debt levels that are nearly impossible to repay.<\/p>\n

“Prevention is the key,” states Debra Gould, founder and CEO of Optimum CPA Solutions. “CPAs – especially during tax season – are totally focused on helping clients stretch every dollar further, and there’s nothing that will impact the financial lives of parents and grandparents of college-bound students more than wisely minimizing every dollar invested in college.”<\/p>\n

To facilitate OCS’s advocacy to help families save thousands on college, borrow less, and avoid making the costly college mistakes, Ms. Gould now works with CPAs to offer the first turn-key online solution to solve these problems. This step-by-step Pre-College Action Plan was developed by a National Team of Academic and Financial Advisors under the direction of Alice Whinnery, a former CPA with PwC and CEO of the LFE Institute, a leader in unbiased Financial Literacy for more than two decades.<\/p>\n

“The CPA profession is evolving. CPAs are seeking a holistic approach to creating a brighter financial future for clients, and OCS’s commitment to helping them become more successful as they provide the tools needed to reduce future college debt for families is a powerful combination,” says Whinnery. “Whether they are helping individual tax clients, or employees of corporations, Optimum CPA Solutions’ collaboration with CPAs has the potential to impact millions of lives.”<\/p>\n
