Why work with a Financial Advisor who holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation?

When you work with a Financial Advisor who holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation, you work with advisors who follow a strict Code of Ethics, Rules of Conduct, and Practice Standards. Additionally, CFP® professionals remain current with changes in the financial planning field because they must pass a comprehensive financial planning examination and complete a minimum of 30 hours of continuing education every two years.

The Platinum Council (previously known as Premier Advisor) distinction is held by a select group of Financial Advisors within Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network as measured by completion of educational components, business production based on the year, and professionalism.  Additional criteria, best practices and team structure, may also be used to determine recipients.

              Originally from Massachusetts, Scott makes his home in Albany with his wife, Gennie, who is retired from her work in Behavioral Health and Addictive Diseases.
