Course Overview

Financial planning is the process of developing strategies to assist clients in managing their financial affairs to meet life goals.

It’s imperative today to make sure that your finances are in order, from retirement savings to tax planning. Doing it the wrong way can get you in big trouble. Professional financial advisors help alleviate the burden with skilled and knowledgeable advice and practice.

To develop a financial plan, a financial planner has to gain an understanding of the client’s personal and financial circumstances, and then a plan is designed by gathering the client’s data by selecting an alternative course of action. A financial planner has to communicate with his client about the plan and then the plan is implemented.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Definition of Financial Planning
  • Financial Planning components
  • The six-step process
  • CRP board on monitoring the plan
  • The planner's role in monitoring the plan
