What do the letters “CFP” mean?

The letters “CFP” stand for Certified Financial Planner. The CFP marks identify individuals who are dedicated to the highest level of professionalism in providing financial planning advice. The CFP credential assures that the planner adheres to internationally recognized professional standards of competence and ethical practice as set in Canada by the not-for-profit Financial Planners Standards Council (FPSC). CFP standards include requirements in education, examination, experience and ethics – commonly known as the 4Es of professionalism.
