What You Should Know About Certified Financial Planners

Certified Financial Planners™ (CFP®) can stand out from a rather crowded field of financial professionals for a variety of reasons. One of the most important reasons is that Certified Financial Planners™ are mandated to act as a fiduciary, meaning that they are required to put their client’s interests and needs ahead of his or her own. Another reason why CFP® professionals stand out is the requirements necessary to become a CFP®, including a Bachelor’s degree and work-related experience.
