    You earned a LIKE and subscribe from me because your a FATHER and put your child first. Ya, the CFP designation is gonna be touch. I'm a licensed MD insurance agent and the NYU / Dalton path is what I'm taking. Hope it pans out. - I'd like to know what kind of value can I add as a licensed CFP to my organization apart of being a licensed agent. I hope to make more money - sure... but I want my company to grow.

    If you take the ChFC route, do you need to complete the experience requirement prior to being able to sit for the CFP? Or can you sit for CFP after completing the CfHC coursework alone?

    • @straighttalks-ajsrmek323
      @straighttalks-ajsrmek323  4 месяца назад

      You can take the CFP exam, but you can't actually earn the certificate until you have the work expierence.

  • @ashishphansopkar7874

    AJ - does the CFP Board made changes to the curriculum, other than the Procedural Rules, other the years? I have not seen this published on the CFP website. Let me know if I am missing something here,

    • @straighttalks-ajsrmek323
      @straighttalks-ajsrmek323  Год назад

      They don't change their curriculum, but tax/estate laws change often so they have to adjust to those rules.

  • @RestoreSanityFear
    @RestoreSanityFear Год назад

    I think I fall into the last camp. I just want to obtain the CFP as fast as possible; I do not inherently care about the ChFC designation.
    Is it faster to complete the CFP coursework or to obtain a ChFC and use the Accelerated Path? Thank you

    • @straighttalks-ajsrmek323
      @straighttalks-ajsrmek323  Год назад

      The CFP coursework can take months. So honestly it might be quicker to just do the ChFC then accelerated path.

  • @TheAblist01
    @TheAblist01 Год назад

    Thanks for the video. For someone who already has a 4 yr degree, who works as an advisor (holds series 7, 66, life/health, etc...) and has several years of experience, what is the fastest track to obtaining the CFP?

    • @straighttalks-ajsrmek323
      @straighttalks-ajsrmek323  Год назад

      Unless your undergrad college met the education requirements, there is no fast track. You would need to sign up for classes to start completing the education requirement. If you have the CPA, CFA, JD, and some others, then you can use the accelerated path.

  • @BravoBline
    @BravoBline 2 года назад +1

    Great video. However, I'm a bit confused about how the ChFC coursework is faster than the CFP coursework. The ChFC designation requires more coursework. A CFP is required to take seven courses, while a ChFC must take nine courses. Wouldn't the ChFC take more time? I'm finishing my MBA w/ Finance concentration in 4 months. After I want to start CFP so I want to make sure I understand the ChFC timeline you mentioned.

    • @straighttalks-ajsrmek323
      @straighttalks-ajsrmek323  2 года назад

      The ChFC has more courses but they are very short courses.

      I am confused. Are you required to take an exam after each of the 7 CFP courses or are you required to only take a comprehensive exam?

      Sure! I have several videos about how to get into the finance industry. And best advice would be first to decide what area of finance you want to work in.

    AJ, I have a 40-year-old friend who has perhaps $100,000 in retirement savings and has a 20-year working horizon (she works as a nurse or nurse practitioner -- I don't know the difference). She wants to see a financial advisor to make sure "she's on the right track" as she puts it. I told her she should (a) see a CFA and (b) do a one-time flat fee session. It's possible you disagree with one or both of those recommendations. Based on what I described, what would you suggest to her as far as finding a reputable financial advisor? What should she look for?

    • @straighttalks-ajsrmek323
      @straighttalks-ajsrmek323  2 года назад +1

      Yea I would disagree with both. Many great advisors are not CFA charterholders. And many don't charge a flat fee. She should look for someone who has fair fees that she can understand, and that she trusts.

    I’m a former music major looking to change my career into finance. I have a bachelor’s degree in music and no work experience in the finance industry. I’ve taken the SIE Exam as a first step towards this career change and I’m looking for jobs, currently. Any advice on how I could proceed? Would internships even look at my resume since I don’t have a relevant degree? Thanks!

      Take the series 63 and series 65. Those don’t need sponsorship. Add your insurance license too and you’ll look better for entry level positions

      It depends on your career goals! But the CFA is generally considered more difficult and more prestigious.

      Yes they would! Internships or entry level jobs. Let them know you are serious about getting licensed to be a financial advisor and someone out there will want to hire you.
