Professional designations do not impress me and I do not think they impress most people. I am an excellent test taker and I have held professional designations in nonfinancial fields. Because someone holds a CFP doesn't mean they know what they are doing.
The difference in a CPA designation and other designations is that in the accounting field CPA is pretty clear cut. In the financial field as you have pointed out there are a confusing number of designations: CFP, ChFC, CIMA, RFP, CFA, CWM, CAM, and MFP to name a few. There is nothing wrong with the education that goes into any of these. There is something wrong with the organization that overseees the CFP in my opinion.
Is FPA Membership Declining Because Of Its Fiduciary Views, Or In Spite Of Them? - kitces.com | Nerd's Eye View[/QUOTE
You and VolAgent are right!! The CPA is clear cut, and we do have way to many desinations. Last night I had a wholesaler take me to dinner and he said all the wholesalers had to get a CFS, and I thought what the hell is that.
Either way hope business is going great for you.
