How AGH's Certified Financial Planner™ services can help your organization

Are your finances where they need to be in order to meet your personal and financial goals? If not, how can you get there? AGH's Certified Financial Planners™ (CFP®) can help business owners, leaders and employees make informed personal and professional decisions and reduce financial stresses through development of a personal financial plan. Based on your goals, a personal financial plan evaluates and incorporates recommendations for cash management, retirement planning, estate planning, tax planning, risk management and asset management.

Our CFPs® are part of a small minority who offer fee-only planning services without selling financial products or investments in order to deliver recommendations without regard for commission fees. An AGH affiliate can assist with asset management, or our CFPs® can also work with an organization or individual's current asset manager to match specific assets against the recommendations of the financial plan.
