Even if you are a computer novice, you’ll be up
and running Steve Leimberg's Charitable Financial
Planner in less than five minutes. CFP works
on any Windows based laptop or desktop computer and requires
less than 2 MBs of drive space. Absolutely minimal
data entry.
This intuitively easy-to-use tool requires practically
no learning curve. New users will be astounded by how
quickly Charitable Financial Planner
can be mastered, how many creative tasks it performs,
and how amazingly fast you have your answers.
Steve Leimberg's Charitable Financial Planner is a software
package that takes charitable planning significantly beyond
where we go in NumberCruncher, yet is as easy to learn
and use as NumberCruncher, and is quite comprehensive.
It even compares various charitable plans so you
can quickly see which is best in your situation.
Aside from Charitable Lead Annuity and UniTrusts, Charitable
Gift Planner will instantly do calcs for pooled
income funds, gift annuities, remainders in residences,
remainders in farms, Charitable Remainder Trusts, and
much more. You'll also be able to "eyeball"
the client's specific income tax advantage to implementing
the suggested concept. The Charitable Financial Planner
has built in warnings regarding IRS exhaustion and other
(e.g. 5%/10%50%) tests and will automatically
optimize many calcs. It also has an "age"
calculator and contains copies of Rev. Rul. 77-374, IRS
Notices 89-24 and 89-60.
Steve Leimberg's Charitable Financial Planner is loaded
with powerful graphs, easy-to-follow numbers,
and will streamline and quicken decision making.
Of course, like all Leimberg Associates, Inc. products,
it comes with a 30 Day No Questions Asked Money Back Guarantee.
If you're not happy, we're not happy!
