The National Planning Corp. (NPC) has created the NPC Partners' Alliance (NPCPA), a new division that will concentrate on the accounting/financial planning market. Scott Grayson, the leader of NPCPA, said the alliance "is designed to bring the resources of NPC to accountants and other tax professionals," and "will provide NPC's representatives with the resources to partner with accounting professionals in their local markets and share referrals, commissions, and fees." The NPCPA will create and sponsor programs for CPAs and tax professionals whose practices include financial planning services.
