At Simplicity Credit Union, we believe informed members make confident decisions. That’s why we recently partnered with Hawkins Ash CPAs to host two educational event nights focused on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and what it could mean for our members’ futures.
The first event took place on January 13 in Marshfield, followed by a second session on January 22 in Stevens Point. Both evenings brought members together for an in-depth, easy-to-understand presentation led by the Hawkins Ash team, who walked attendees through the key components of the bill and how upcoming changes may impact personal and business finances.
Understanding What’s Ahead
While many aspects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act won’t take effect until the 2026 tax season, the information shared during these sessions helped attendees begin preparing now. Topics included potential tax implications, planning considerations, and how proactive conversations can help reduce uncertainty in the years ahead.
“These changes may feel complex, but understanding them early gives our members an advantage,” said Kenny Gilmore, Fraud Manager at Simplicity CU “With several provisions of the bill taking effect in 2026, now is the time to start asking questions and planning ahead. As a credit union, our role is to be here alongside our members, helping them navigate change with confidence and clarity.”
Here to Help Every Step of the Way
Beyond the presentations, both events created space for open conversation and thoughtful questions, reinforcing Simplicity’s commitment to education, transparency, and trusted guidance.
