Why is it important to work with a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®)?
As a financial planner dedicated to serving educators, I’ve pursued advanced certifications that directly benefit my teacher clients.
CFP® (CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™)
- Comprehensive Knowledge: CFP® professionals are trained in all areas of financial planning, including retirement, investments, taxes, insurance, and estate planning. This holistic approach is crucial for teachers who need to navigate complex benefit systems and plan for long-term financial security.
- Ethical Standards: CFP® professionals are held to strict ethical standards, ensuring that I always put your interests first. This is particularly important for teachers who may have encountered predatory financial practices in the past.
- Continuing Education: I'm required to complete ongoing education to maintain my CFP® designation, ensuring that I stay current with the latest financial planning strategies and regulations that affect educators.
Who is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional?
A Certified Financial Planner™ is a financial professional accredited by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards as having demonstrated financial planning technical knowledge, experience, and adherence to a client-centered code of ethics. CFP Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct require Certified Financial Planner™ practitioners to act in their clients’ best interests.
What makes a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional different from other financial advisors?
Apart from the rigorous educational and experience requirements to obtain and maintain their CFP® certifications, Certified Financial Planner™ professionals have strict fiduciary obligations of loyalty and care to clients. This includes disclosing and properly managing all conflicts of interest and recommending ideal rather than simply “suitable” financial products.
This difference is at the core of what separates a fee-based certified financial planner professionals from other financial advisors.
