Are You A Qualified Financial Planner?

If you hold out to the public as a “Financial Planner,” and think of yourself as duly qualified…we encourage you to become an IAQFP Certified—Financial Planner, eligible to use the professions single, unifying QFP credential, and to thereby be determined as eligible to be listed in our free 24/7 online public resource known as the QFP Verification Registry of Qualified Financial Planners.

IAQFP, believing in the Financial Planning Professions ideal of “One Profession—One Designation,” introduced the QFP—QUALIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER credential in March 2003 in its’ ongoing successful effort to unite the professionals and the profession of Financial Planning.

IAQFP has openly granted all those having earned one or more of the following equivalent designations of Financial Planning, use of the QFP—QUALIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER credential:

ChFC® (Issued by: The American College)

PFS™ (Issued by: AICPA)

CFP® (Issued by: CFP Board)

MSFS (Issued by: The American College)*

MS (Issued by: The College for Financial Planning)*

*(the latter two with a concentrated study in the Financial Planning Professions learned Methodology & Discipline).

IAQFP did this, in part, to help in unifying the profession and to make readily available, to a much deserving public, the largest possible pool of duly accredited IAQFP Certified—Financial Planners, universally known as QFP—QUALIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERS.

A serious problem exists for the general public when financial services persons loosely also refer to themselves as “Financial Planners,” often including financial and other credentials that are, however, not specific to nor even representative of the now well established Financial Planning Professions learned Methodology & Discipline.

The general public, in looking at this ever-growing “alphabet soup—designations maze,” is often confused as to who is really qualified to assist them with, specifically, their Financial Planning needs. In fact, they are often unable to even easily distinguish the professionals of Financial Planning from those of the Securities, Insurance, Accounting, Tax, Legal fields, etc..

The result is that properly qualified individuals, as you may well be, are being confused with those who are not actually trained Qualified Financial Planners, resulting in your being overlooked for your Financial Planning services and capabilities, while those without such qualifications are instead being called upon, by an unsuspecting public, gaining their trust and business—an outcome that is not fair to you or to a public that is seeking better direction and solutions to their Financial Planning needs.

IAQFP was formed, in part, to end this dilemma, and introduced the QFP—QUALIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER credential (see here Statement of Minimum Qualifications for QFP), to end public confusion and to serve as the Professions single, unifying credential.

We are pleased to bring to your attention that you, like the many thousands of worldwide authorized users who have earned at least one of the above listed credentials researched by IAQFP as specific to the Financial Planning Professions learned Methodology & Discipline, have been openly granted approval to not only use the QFP designation but to also be listed in the 24/7 FREE public resource, known as the: QFP Verification Registry of Qualified Financial Planners here: QFP Registry.
