Why should I work with a CFP® Professional??
What Sets a CFP® Professional Apart?
Not all financial planners are certified. In fact, almost anyone can use the title “financial planner.” The CFP Board helps protect the public by independently certifying financial planners who meet rigorous standards.
While CFP Board does not guarantee a CFP® professional’s work, only individuals who complete the required qualifications may call themselves CFP® professionals.
Certification Standards
- Commit to high ethical standards.
- Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Exam.
- Complete a multi-year, multi-step process designed to build the skills and real-world experience needed to serve clients’ best interests.
A Commitment to Your Best Interests
Working with a CFP® professional can help you create a path toward your financial goals. When providing financial advice, CFP® professionals commit to CFP Board that they will act in their clients’ best interests at all times.
CFP Board does not guarantee a CFP® professional’s services, but it may sanction a CFP® professional who does not uphold this commitment.
