My CFP® mark distinguishes me among my peers in the financial services industry as it shows I have voluntarily met rigorous requirements of education, examination and experience and abide by CFP Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, which includes delivering a fiduciary standard of care that places my clients’ interests first.
