CWF is holding IRA schools from August to September, 2009

There are now multiple types of IRAs: traditional, Roth, SEP and SIMPLE. We have developed a 3-Day school to give you a practical learning experience that will increase your understanding of the never ending IRA rule changes, the reporting and compliance procedures, plus marketing ideas for increasing deposits.

We take special pride in our role as a full-service, full-line pension provider. We offer not only the most complete array of expertly-drafted forms and documents - vital keystones to compliance - but a fully-developed lineup of complementary products and services.

We invite you to attend our 2 or 3-day IRA Schools and find out why so many independent financial services holding companies entrust their IRA training and compliance to Collin W. Fritz and Associates, "The Pension Specialists".
