Certified Financial Planner Board

CFP: The Standard of Excellence

Today more than ever, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals are an essential resource. From budgeting, to planning for retirement, to saving for education, to managing your taxes and your insurance coverage, "finances" doesn't mean just one thing for most Americans — and "financial planning" means much more than just investing. Bringing all the pieces of your financial life together is a challenging task.

Although many professionals may call themselves "financial planners," CFP® professionals have completed extensive training and experience requirements and are held to rigorous ethical standards. They understand all the complexities of the changing financial climate and will make recommendations in your best interest.

TD Ameritrade

Acting as the custodian for our clients assets, and the broker for our transactions, TD Ameritrade is an integral part of our practice. Their low cost trading structure, and online account access, gives clients an easy and inexpensive way to monitor the progress of their investments. Most importantly, the security of having a well known third-party custodian means your assets are held separately from those of the firm and it's employees. This limits the opportunity for accounting errors and the intermingling of funds.
