Solving the Financial Advisor Mystery: My Interpretation of a Convoluted Profession

A Certified Financial Planner, or CFP, is a professional who is licensed to help you manage your finances and make financial plans. They are held to strict ethical obligations so that they can assist you with these tasks.

What's In a Designation?
by Craig Joncas, Penobscot Financial Advisors
Over the last few weeks, PFA has been able to celebrate a couple of great strides in professional development. Pardon me while I boast unapologetically.
Sam Chaplin, our portfolio administrator successfully passed the Level I exam of the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. Actually, ‘successfully passed’ is a bit of an understatement: In a year where the first level had a 41% pass rate, Sam turned in an overall performance in the top decile of test-takers. On to the Level II exam, Sam!
Never one to be outdone, Abrin Berkemeyer, PFA’s newest Lead Advisor, passed the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ credentialing exam.
Following along with the blogs of financial advisors is a great way to access valuable, educational information about finance — and it doesn’t cost you a thing! Our financial planners love to share their knowledge and help everyone regardless of age or assets.
