As we continue our series of articles on various social media platforms, we will focus on Pinterest. As discussed, social media is an indispensable tool for professionals across multiple industries. Accountants, often perceived as traditional and reserved, can harness the power of these platforms to extend their reach, engage with clients, and establish a solid online presence. Pinterest is known for its easy visuals and use, offering unique opportunities for us accountants to curate boards with valuable financial resources. By strategically using Pinterest, we can attract and engage our target audience, drive website traffic, and build brand awareness.
Trump Accounts Are Live. Are They Spectacular?
Amber Gray-Fenner, EA NTPI Fellow USTCP
Trump Accounts (or § 530A accounts) went live via app on July 4, 2026. According to the Treasury Department, over six million accounts have been opened. As of Monday, July 6, 2026, parents and guardians of account beneficiaries could use the app to view their children’s accounts, fund the accounts, and access balances and financial education information. The Treasury Department designated BNY Mellon “as a financial agent of the U.S. government to support implementation of the new Trump Accounts program.” BNY, in partnership with Treasury, will manage the accounts and help to develop the app taxpayers can use to manage their accounts. Robinhood Securities, LLC is acting as the initial trustee and brokerage for the accounts.
