I Want to be a Financial Planner

I have always had a desire to help those who need it if it was possible to do and financial planning offers just that.

I have always enjoyed giving advice to those who need it and see the relief on their face when they realize they are going to be okay.

Financial planning is a booming field and the need for financial planning is likely to increase in the coming years.

Ambitions

After graduation, I want to obtain the CFP® designation as soon as I can.

I also hope to one day be able to open up my own financial planning firm.

I hope to be a valuable asset for the firm that I work for as well as a trusted employee by my fellow colleagues.
