A certified financial planner is a professional who has passed a standardized exam, met experience and ethical requirements, and is trained to create comprehensive money plans covering investing, retirement, taxes, insurance and estate matters. Investors benefit because a certified planner acts like a financial coach or navigator, helping set realistic goals, design an investment approach aligned with risk tolerance, and keep decisions on track—reducing costly mistakes and improving long-term outcomes.

A CFP is a Certified Financial Planner, a professional credential awarded to individuals who have completed education, passed a comprehensive exam, and met ethical and experience requirements in personal financial planning. For investors, a CFP signals that an advisor is trained to create and coordinate plans for saving, investing, taxes, insurance and retirement—think of them as a trusted architect who helps design a practical roadmap for your financial goals.

series 7 financial

"Delord maintains his CFP®, CBEC®, Series 7 and 66 licenses..."

A Series 7 is a regulatory exam and license required for financial professionals who sell a broad range of investment products, such as stocks, bonds and options. For investors it matters because it signals that the person advising or handling trades has passed standardized testing and meets industry rules—think of it like a driver's license that shows someone is qualified to operate across many types of investment transactions, improving trust and accountability.

series 66 financial

"Delord maintains his CFP®, CBEC®, Series 7 and 66 licenses..."

Series 66 is a U.S. licensing exam that certifies a financial professional to act as both a securities agent and an investment adviser representative in states that accept it. Think of it as a driver’s license for giving investment advice and selling certain securities: it shows the advisor has passed a standardized test about laws, ethics, and suitability, which helps investors know the adviser is subject to regulatory standards and oversight.
