Speaking and Corporate Training
Tom Norton is an experienced public speaker, who has a way of making tax and finance topics “come to life.” He makes the complex seem simple, with a dynamic speaking style you would never expect from a CPA.
Bar Associations, CPA Society's, etc. will want to hear Tom's advice and learn from his experience in dealing with the tax and financial aspects of divorce:
- Tax and Financial Traps in Divorce and How to Avoid Them
- The Role of the Financial Professional in Collaborative Divorce
Tom is in demand to speak to divorce attorneys, mediators and marriage and family counselors about the financial aspects of divorce. He also speaks to other CPA's, who are typically not trained in the ins and outs of divorce taxation.
Meeting planners with attendees who are independent contractors, franchisees, manufacturers representatives or small business owners should consider booking Tom to present the following program, which is perfect for breakout sessions or the general assembly alike:
- The Top Ten Tax Tips for the Self-Employed: How to Save a Fortune in Taxes with Your Small Business
In this program, which can be tailored to a 45 minute to two hour time block, Tom will give his audience legitimate, practical ways to save hundreds and often thousands of dollars per year in taxes. Best yet, they will enjoy those savings year after year. Tom will customize the presentation to your group, and every self-employed person in the audience will be able to use several of these money saving tips. And you'll be surprised at just how entertaining a tax accountant with good ideas can be!
Corporate training directors will be interested in Tom's one day seminar, entitled:
- If You've Ever Had a Bank Account, You Can Understand Accounting: The World's Simplest Explanation of Finance for Non-Financial Managers
Most Finance for Non-Financial Managers courses are either dry, difficult-to-understand lectures with a dizzying array of crowded charts, or they are in a "game" format, which is fun to play, but doesn't really teach the concepts very well. Tom's approach is to do what he does with his clients every day: Use the familiar to explain the unfamiliar. Tom uses things everyone can relate to, such as bank accounts, credit cards, home mortgages and the local pizza parlor, to explain the business financial information and decision-making your employees are faced with every day in their work. The course can be fully customized to match your organization's goals and unique characteristics. Your employees will be amazed at how much they learn in one day, and will be able to use their new knowledge in their jobs immediately.
