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 the
Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP Board”).
The CFP® certification is voluntary; no federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners to hold
CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States and several 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 the 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 to
maintain the right to continue to use the CFP® marks:
• 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
• 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.
