She has an MBA in taxation and is a Certified Financial Planner . Karen also works as an independent accountant for a number of small businesses and tax preparation for individuals and businesses alike. Jaret Vogel, husband of Karen Greenberg, has worked in financial services for 25 years. In addition to developing the outreach of Prosperity Life Planning, he volunteers as Associate Director and Special Needs Advisor, and helps implement solutions for these families. We work closely with several attorneys who are specialists in elder law and special needs planning. After a thorough needs analysis with the parents, we join the family in their first meeting with counsel to ensure good communication and sharing of ideas. Our combined experiences in taxation, accounting, and financial planning lends itself very nicely to working with "typical" as well as special needs families in risk management and protecting families, as well as budgeting, investments and estate planning. In August of 2006, Prosperity Life Planning was the recipient of a $25, 000. grant from the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, to expand our outreach in the south Florida area to this unique population.
