Founder

Dr. Kareem Tannous

I’ve taught economics, finance, accounting, analytics, and global business at the university level since 2014. I’ve also held practitioner licenses across real estate, mortgage, and insurance in five states for years. The courses you see at Alliance Unlimited Inc. are the synthesis: rigorous academic method, anchored in how the work actually gets done in real businesses and real lives.

Professional Licenses & Examinations

Multi-state real estate, mortgage, and insurance licenses are active across five US states. The Series 65 is an examination credential, not a state license. All four are listed as evidence of practitioner experience — not as a service offering. Enrollment in any Alliance Unlimited course does not establish a brokerage, advisory, or fiduciary relationship.

  • Series 65Uniform Investment Adviser Law Examination, passed in 2025 while sponsored by the Fitzpatrick Group (Houston, TX), where Dr. Tannous served as Financial Advisor. Listed as a credential, not as an active investment-adviser registration. Investment-adviser credentials will move to a separate investment-advisory entity when it is formed and state-registered.

Overall, I really enjoyed taking this course. He does a fantastic job teaching, and it's super clear that he knows what he is talking about. I enjoy the fact that he is honest, and transparent with his students and really acts like the person he is.

Why This Matters

A pure academic teaches what the textbook says. A pure practitioner teaches what worked for them on a Tuesday. The Alliance Unlimited courses are taught by someone who has worked both sides — the formal academic method that survives peer review, and the practitioner judgment that survives a real transaction.

That synthesis is the product: a university-level curriculum taught by someone who actually does the work, not a packaged credential. The courses are priced to pay back the time you spend on them, not to promise outcomes. If you want a credential, this isn’t that. If you want to read financial statements, build defensible models, and make better money decisions in your own life and business, that’s exactly what we teach.

Standing Positions

No Accreditation Pursuit

We don’t pursue CE accreditation. The courses are pure education, not credentialing.

Not Personalized Advice

The courses are education, not personalized financial, legal, or investment advice. All real estate, mortgage, and insurance advice runs through Alliance Realty & Financial Services.

AI Use Is Transparent

We use AI heavily and we’re transparent about it. Production, support, and tutoring all use AI working in Dr. Tannous’s voice and against his materials. The teaching itself is his.

Globally Framed

Examples and frameworks reference companies, currencies, and regulations from multiple jurisdictions. We don’t assume a US-only audience.

Refund Policy
