Financial Planning Careers

The 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act allows banks the opportunity to offer financial planning services. So with a Certified Financial Planner designation, you can find a job in just about any community.

If you already work in a financial services field, like banking or insurance, financial planning courses can qualify you for certification without the need to enroll in a full-time degree program. With online and distance learning options supported by financial planning trade organizations like the Financial Planning Association (FPA), you can get the support you need to enter this high-demand field.
