CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER Professionals

What is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER?

A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP®) is a financial advisor who has met the certification requirements of the CFP® Board. CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER certification is the standard of excellence in financial planning. CFP® practitioners are highly skilled in areas such as retirement, college savings, financial planning, investing, and wealth management. CFP® practitioners adopt a comprehensive, customized approach to seamlessly integrate all aspects of your financial well-being.

Most people think that all financial planners are “certified,” but this isn’t true. Anyone can call themselves a “financial planner.” But only those who have fulfilled the certification and renewal requirements of CFP® Board can display the CFP® certification marks. CFP® professionals meet rigorous education, training and ethical standards, and not only prioritize their clients’ current needs but diligently work to secure a stable future.
