Educational Background and Professional Designations:
Education:
Bachelors Economics, Louisiana State University - 2004
Designations:
CFP® - Certified Financial Planner
The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® and federally registered CFP (with flame design)
marks (collectively, the “CFP® marks”) are professional certification marks granted in the United States
by Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires financial
planners to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of other countries
for its (1) high standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and standards of practice;
and (3) ethical requirements that govern professional engagements with clients.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following
requirements:
● Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial
planning subject areas that CFP Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent
and professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a
regionally accredited United States college or university (or its equivalent from a foreign
university). CFP Board’s financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk
management, employee benefits planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement
planning, and estate planning;
● Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination
includes case studies and client scenarios designed to test one’s ability to correctly diagnose
financial planning issues and apply one’s knowledge of financial planning to real world
circumstances;
● Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience (or
the equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
● Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of documents
outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics
requirements in order to maintain the right to continue to use the CFP® marks:
i.
Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education hours every two years,
including two hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct,
to maintain competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning field; and
ii.
Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct. The Standards
prominently require that CFP® professionals provide financial planning services at a fiduciary
standard of care. This means CFP® professionals must provide financial planning services in the
best interests of their clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and requirements may be subject to CFP
Board’s enforcement process, which could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their CFP®
certification.
