Why Is It Important to Work with a CFP®?

We are fiduciaries and we put our knowledge and career to the test for every client. We will not compromise our integrity by doing otherwise.

It's About More than Just Money

People ask us why it’s important to work with a Certified Financial Planner™? Would you have a major medical procedure by somebody who’s not a doctor and who hasn’t practiced for 12 years? By having the certified financial planner designation, we are equipped in multiple planning areas that will impact a client’s life. As a client, you are ultimately going to have a better experience and a better financial plan. Most people that call themselves financial planners do one thing — look at money. As a CFP®, we understand that is one piece, but there are more components. While we manage money and investments, we also do estate planning, retirement planning, income tax planning, education planning, and risk mitigation.

By having an individual that’s a Certified Financial Planner™ working on your behalf, you may find you have confidence in knowing they understand much more than just financial planning. We understand how all the pieces of financial planning work hand-in-hand to ultimately provide a better experience for the client.

CFPs® also act as a fiduciary, which means we will act in your best interest. Shouldn’t every financial planner do that? Yes, they should, but unfortunately in our industry, they aren’t always forced to. If we don’t act in a client’s best interest, we can lose our license and designation. We would never do anything for a client that we wouldn’t for our own family.

As a cfp planner we are here to help with your finances.
