Whitaker-Myers Wealth Managers is pleased to announce that President & Chief Investment Officer John-Mark Young, CFP®, has attained the Tax Planning Certified Professional® (TPCP®) designation through The American College of Financial Services.
The TPCP® designation is an industry-recognized mark of excellence, demonstrating advanced applied knowledge in the field of tax planning. It covers a wide breadth of critical topics, including complex tax situations, retirement and investment strategies, estate planning considerations, special needs planning, and tax optimization across various investment vehicles.
“Tax planning is one of the most powerful tools we can use to help families keep more of what they’ve earned,” said John-Mark Young. “At Whitaker-Myers, we live by the principle of having the heart of a teacher. Earning the TPCP® allows me to bring clarity and confidence to complicated financial situations, empowering clients to make wise, long-term decisions.”
Whitaker-Myers Wealth Managers’ Mission

Tax planning plays an essential role in that mission, ensuring that every dollar works as hard as possible toward creating a secure financial future.
This heart-of-a-teacher approach reflects not only the firm’s values but also the wisdom of voices like Dave Ramsey, who often reminds families that tax planning is not about “tricking the system,” but rather about understanding the rules and using them to your advantage with integrity and foresight.
