We are pleased to announce that Pyrford Financial Planning is now a CISI Chartered Firmâ„¢!
The CISI website states, "CISI Chartered Firmâ„¢ status denotes that a firm is operating at the highest levels of trustworthiness and professionalism expected from the sector".
If we are honest, the hard work had already been done, with both James and I holding the CFPâ„¢ designation, a masters level qualification widely considered the global gold standard in financial planning - one of the prerequisites of obtaining the Chartered status. I still remember attempting to finish my CFPâ„¢ case study in the hotel lobby after an intense, rollercoaster-laden fortnight in Florida with two bored teenage children (their Mother wisely claimed to be too busy to attend the trip, so I was nominally in charge for the duration)!
In reality, very few clients ask us about our qualifications; they tend to be more interested in one or more of the following:
Our independence.
That we are retirement planning specialists, working with many retirees in similar situations.
Our size - we are neither a one-man band nor a huge outfit where a client runs the risk of frequently being switched to a new adviser.
However, we both feel that studying for the CFPâ„¢ made us better financial planners, and this external validation and certification to the highest standards hopefully offers clients extra peace of mind when working with us. We are delighted to be aligned with the CISI to help more people access financial planning in the UK.
