Each advisor below links to a profile with their registrations, exams, designations and how long they've been registered, plus links to the SEC's adviser search and FINRA BrokerCheck. Confirm the CFP itself with the body that issues it.

Source: the SEC's Investment Adviser Public Disclosure daily file, which lists the professional designations each investment adviser representative reports.

Also by designation: CFA charterholders and ChFC holders.
