CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional

Marc A. Alexander - President, Roy L. Fabbrini III - President, Theresa Fabbrini - Senior Vice President, and Armistead Burwell - Senior Vice President, are CFP® professionals.

A Financial Advisor has earned this designation through demonstrating skills in analyzing and developing personal long-term financial strategies. A CFP® has completed hundreds of hours of rigorous courses and examinations offered by various colleges and universities across the country. These courses are then followed by a 10-hour comprehensive examination administered according to the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards. The qualification process, comprehensive array of advice and skill-based approach distinguish CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioners from other professional advisors, who typically focus on only one area of a client's financial life.
