The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) is a leading professional association of Fee-Only financial advisors - highly trained professionals who are committed to working in the best interests of those they serve.
NAPFA members live by three important values:
- To be the beacon for independent, objective financial advice for individuals and families.
- To be the champion of financial services delivered in the public interest.
- To be the standard bearer for the emerging profession of financial planning.
Pulse Financial Planning helps healthcare professionals organize, invest, and protect their finances.
Pulse Financial Planning was founded with a commitment to 4 core principles:
Fiduciary
We believe that you shouldn’t have to worry if the financial advice you are getting is in your best interest or not. At Pulse Financial Planning, we’ve taken a fiduciary oath. This means we are committed to always putting your interest ahead of our own (no exceptions, ever).
Fee-Only
The only compensation we receive is directly from our clients. We never accept compensation from 3rd parties via commission, referral fees, mutual funds, or any other method. We are here to serve nobody but you.
CFP®
By hiring a CFP®, you know you are working with someone that has financial planning experience, gone through extensive schooling, passed a board exam, and has taken an oath to place the interest of their clients ahead of their own.
No Minimums
We believe everyone deserves good financial advice, regardless of how much money you have saved. We offer competitively priced financial planning packages for those looking to get their finances on the right track.
