How does the CFP Board define financial planning?


The Standards of Professional Conduct (Standards) define financial planning as “the process of determining whether and how an individual can meet life goals through the proper management of financial resources. Financial planning integrates the financial planning process with the financial planning subject areas.”

There are six steps to the financial planning process:

1. Establishing and defining the client-planner relationship

2. Gathering client data including goals

3. Analyzing and evaluating the client’s current financial status

4. Developing and presenting recommendations and/or alternatives

5. Implementing the recommendations

6. Monitoring the recommendations




“Financial planning subject areas” denotes the basic subject fields covered in the financial planning process which typically include, but are not limited to:
 




Financial statement preparation and analysis (including cash flow analysis/planning and budgeting)

Insurance planning and risk management

Employee benefits planning

Investment planning

Income tax planning

Retirement planning

Estate planning

7Investors should consider many factors before deciding which 529 plan is appropriate. Some of these factors include: the Plan’s investment options and the historical investment performance of these options, the Plan’s flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the Plan’s investment manager, Plan contribution limits and the federal and state tax benefits associated with an investment in the Plan. Some states, for example, offer favorable tax treatment and other benefits to their residents only if they invest in the state’s own Qualified Tuition Program. Investors should determine their home state’s tax treatment of 529 plans when considering whether to choose an in-state or out-of-state plan. Investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor before investing in any 529 Plan or contact their state tax division for more information. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not provide tax and/or legal advice. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.
