FAQs

What is a CFP® Professional?

Certified Financial Planner (CFP) is a formal recognition of expertise in the areas of financial planning, taxes, insurance, estate planning, and retirement saving. Owned and awarded by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc., the designation is awarded to individuals who successfully complete the CFP Board's initial exams, then continue ongoing annual education programs to sustain their skills and certification. When delivering financial advice, these professionals must adhere to six core values - competency, fairness, integrity, objectivity, professionalism, and diligence.

A CFP® Professional can help guide individuals and families through critical decisions about budgeting, creating long-term strategies for retirement, and selecting investments and insurance plans. While anyone in the field of personal finance can technically offer advice or suggest solutions for your money, a CFP® Professional must provide their clients with unbiased guidance based on their specific background and goals.

What is the difference between a Financial Planner and a Financial Advisor?

A Financial Planner and Financial Advisor can provide helpful services but offer different services and approaches. Someone holding themselves out as a Financial Planner has likely made Financial Planning a specific focus of their practice. They have likely obtained additional education and certifications beyond the minimums required to have a securities license. If they are a CFP® Professional, that person is bound by a strict code of ethics and practice standards. A Financial Advisor is a licensed professional who may or may not include Financial Planning in their practice. Such a professional can offer advice on investments but may not be well equipped to offer guidance in other areas of your financial life.

Which is better, CFA® or CFP® Professional?

When making smart financial decisions, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professionals and Chartered Financial Analysts® are two good options for people seeking investment advice. A CFP® Professional is focused on the financial planning and will manage assets according to the client’s financial plan. Meanwhile, a CFA® is much more focused on portfolio management. They may or may not engage in financial planning. Their attention will be mostly on selecting investments, building portfolios, and achieving a specific return for a specific risk. Your choice between a CFP® Professional or CFA® should be driven by your needs as a client.
