Realize a better future with pro bono financial planning advice.

Financial planning is empowering. It provides a clear picture of your financial situation and how the right course of action can turn financial challenges into opportunities for a better path forward. And contrary to what some people think, financial planning is for everyone, no matter how much money you have. What's important is having knowledgeable, experienced planners who care and make their expertise available to the consumers who need it.

The Financial Planning Association is the leading membership organization for CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professionals. While FPA is the membership association for financial planners, we want every member of our community to have access to financial resources — whether you're looking for a planner, access to pro bono financial planning, or simply want to learn more about the profession.
