NAPFA (National Association of Personal Financial Advisors)

For more than 20 years, the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) has been promoting a unique way of financial planning for individuals and families. NAPFA's mission is to provide consumers of all income levels with Fee-Only comprehensive, financial advice. Fee-Only financial planning means that NAPFA members are compensated solely by their clients, and do not accept commissions or compensation of any kind based on the products that they recommend. With a NAPFA-Registered Financial Advisor, you are guaranteed complete disclosure of all fees, prior to your engagement. There's no better way to be confident that your advisor is working in your interest, and solely in your interest. For more information, visit NAPFA's website at www.napfa.org
