    To get started, take a look at the internet‘s most asked questions about the CFP profession.  

    What is a certified financial planner? 

    A Certified Financial Planner (CFP) receives a formal designation from the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards. CFPs help individuals manage their finance throughout their lifetime. Here a few examples of the life stages a CFP assists with retirement, investing, education, insurance, and taxes. 

    Can anyone be a financial advisor?

    How to become a financial advisor? 

    To work in this field, you will likely need a relevant degree for a company to hire you. While advisors are generally viewed as anyone who advises others on money issues, keep in mind that a CFP usually means someone who takes a more comprehensive approach.

    An individual is required to meet specific requirements put forth by the CFP Board to qualify for CFP® certification. CFP Board refers to these requirements as the 4 E’s to CFP® certification: Education, Examination, Experience & Ethics 

    Kennesaw State University is registered with the CFP Board to provide the education requirement for financial professionals to obtain the Certified Financial Planner™ certification. For more information regarding all requirements for the CFP® certification, visit CFP Board.
