Our mission is to enhance public awareness of the value of the financial planning process and to promote professional growth through education, networking and mentoring.

On January 1, 2000, the Financial Planning Association (FPA) opened its doors as the new membership association for nearly 30,000 financial planners, allied professionals and organizations that advance the financial planning process. Created by unification of the International Association for Financial Planning (IAFP) and the Institute of Certified Financial Planners (ICFP), FPA is the strongest collective voice of financial planning in the history of the profession.
