How can a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional help you?
A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional is an individual that has received a formal certification from the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc.
CFP® professionals help individuals in a variety of areas in managing their finances, such as retirement savings and income planning, investment management, education planning, risk management and insurance, tax planning, and estate planning.
Becoming a CFP® professional is one of the most difficult and stringent processes in terms of financial advisors. It requires years of experience, successful completion of standardized exams, a demonstration of ethics, and a formal education. Only an estimated 20% of financial advisors hold the CFP® certification.
The most important aspect of a CFP® professional is that they have a fiduciary duty, meaning they must make decisions with their client's best interests in mind.
At LPL Financial, we have the client—and only the client—in mind.
