Pickler Accounting: Proud Tax Planning Partner of Memphis Tigers

Pickler Accounting announces its partnership with The University of Memphis as the Proud Tax Planning Partner of Memphis Athletics, providing student-athletes with valuable tax education and resources designed to help them confidently navigate their financial futures.

As opportunities for student-athletes continue to evolve, particularly through Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) compensation, understanding the financial responsibilities that accompany those opportunities has become increasingly important. Through this partnership, Pickler Accounting will work alongside Memphis Athletics to help student-athletes better understand taxes, financial planning, and the importance of making informed decisions with the income they earn.

A key component of the partnership will be educational workshops led by professionals from Pickler Accounting, Pickler Wealth Advisors, and Pickler Law. These sessions will cover topics relevant to today's student-athletes, including understanding NIL income, tax filing responsibilities, personal finance, how LLCs work and more.

“Our goal is to give these student-athletes knowledge they can carry with them long after their time at the University of Memphis,” said David Pickler, President of Pickler Companies. “Earning income through NIL opportunities is exciting, but it also comes with responsibilities that may be completely new to a young adult. We want to help simplify those responsibilities and give student-athletes the tools and confidence to make smart financial decisions now and in the future.”

Pickler Accounting and Memphis Athletics are investing in more than financial education. Together, they are helping student-athletes build a strong foundation of knowledge that can serve them throughout their collegiate careers and well beyond graduation. By providing practical resources, professional guidance, and opportunities to learn directly from experienced advisors, Pickler Accounting aims to prepare the next generation of Tigers with the knowledge and confidence to succeed in competition and in life.
