About our certifications:

Certified Investment Management Analyst®--CIMA® - As the premier designation in the industry, the CIMA is earned through intense educational experience focusing on asset allocation, investment manager search and selection, investment policy and performance measurement. The CIMA designation belongs to an elite few in the investment profession and it represents the highest level of credibility, integrity, and most importantly, knowledge. It carries substantial weight with discriminating clients who demand the most appropriate strategies in evaluating and managing their investments.

Certified Financial Planner®-- CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® and are certification marks owned by Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc. (CFP Board), which can help you identify financial planners who are committed to competent and ethical behavior when providing financial planning services. Individuals certified by the CFP Board have taken the extra step to demonstrate their professionalism by voluntarily submitting to the rigorous CFP® certification process that includes demanding Education, Examination, Experience and Ethical requirements. These standards are called "the four Es," and they are four important reasons why the financial planning practitioner you select should display the CFP certification marks.

Certified Divorce Financial Analyst - CDFA--Certified Divorce Financial Analysts™ are trained to answer questions and more for men and women in the process of divorce and to provide litigation support for their attorney, which helps them prove and often settle their case. The financial issues inherent to every divorce case are often times the ones that are the most overlooked. However, once a divorce settlement has been signed, it’s too late to change it. Who should keep the house? How much will it cost to live post divorce? How much alimony is there going to be and for how long? Will the custody arrangement affect child support? How can the retirement accounts be split and the money accessed? How can a business be offset? Should a business be valued? What is the value of health care benefits? Most important of all, will the clients be able to financially survive (and thrive) with the settlement post divorce?
