What Does a Financial Planner Do?

A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP®) provides a number of financial planning-related services, including:

• Helping you to understand your income, how much money you need, how much money you should save, and how to set a budget;
• Retirement planning services;
• Investment services; 
• Insurance planning services, including planning for long-term care insurance and disability insurance;
• Social Security planning services;
• Tax planning; 
• Planning for education, home buying, and other future costs; and
• More.

Note that in order to receive the CFP® designation, a financial professional must have passed a number of qualifying exams and must have worked for a certain number of hours in the industry before they can be called a CFP®. CFP® professionals must meet education, examination, experience, and ethical requirements to earn their designation. Many clients consider professional credentials and experience when choosing a financial planner.

What Is a Fee-Only Financial Planner?

A fee-only financial planner is a financial professional who is compensated directly by their clients through fees and does not receive commissions or other compensation from the sale of financial products.

Fee-only financial planners may charge clients in different ways, including flat fees, hourly fees or fees based on a percentage of assets under management. Understanding how a financial planner is compensated is an important part of choosing a professional who aligns with your financial needs and goals.

At Harvest Wealth Partners, our fee-only financial planners provide personalized guidance based on each client’s unique financial situation. We work with individuals and families to develop strategies that address their priorities, whether they are planning for retirement, managing investments, preparing for future expenses, or building long-term wealth.
