Student Loans

Your repayment plan and your tax return are connected. We help highly educated professionals choose a federal repayment strategy that fits their income, their career, and their goals, and we coordinate it with the tax planning that drives the payment.

Since 2023Providing expert repayment strategy and tax planning.

We work with physicians, dentists, attorneys, pharmacists, nurses, educators, and professionals who carry significant federal student debt and want a plan built on their actual numbers.

What we do

  • Review your federal loan history, payment counts, and current repayment plan
  • Compare the federal repayment options available to you against your income, household, and career path
  • Evaluate whether consolidation helps or hurts your situation
  • Assess eligibility for federal forgiveness programs, including Public Service Loan Forgiveness
  • Coordinate your tax filing strategy with your repayment plan, since the way you file can change your payment
  • Deliver a written strategy you can act on, with the steps in order
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Maurice for a few years now and the one thing I can say about BKD Advisors is they are consistent!… I’m ecstatic to say that working with him resulted in my student loans being forgiven. It was an arduous process, but Maurice stayed in contact and ensured I had the necessary paperwork in place… When we logged in to see “forgiven,” I could have done a cartwheel!

How we work

BKD Advisors is an independent advisory firm that works for you, the borrower, independent of any government agency or loan servicer. Your loans stay with your servicer and your account stays in your hands: we build the strategy, and you review and submit your own applications. We will not ask for your Federal Student Aid (FSA ID) login credentials, and we do not contact your servicer on your behalf.

You can manage federal student loans for free at StudentAid.gov and through your servicer.

Eligibility and approval are determined by the U.S. Department of Education and your servicer, so BKD Advisors does not guarantee loan forgiveness, a specific payment amount, or any other outcome. Please review our Terms of Service and Disclosures for more information.
