Are You A CFP Aspirant? Know Your Career Options

Earning money is one of the main reasons why we all get into higher studies. We all dream of a job that pays well and lets us live a life of dignity and luxury. But that’s an ordinary thought. What if you can make money work for you (and also for others) and in the process live your dream life? Well, that’s exactly what can happen if you are a CFP aspirant. On the completion of a certified financial planner course, many windows of opportunities open for you which leads you to a life of success and wealth. 


Managing money and doubling assets is a challenging job. Not just so – it is also a job that requires certain expertise, some foresightedness, and a lot of daring. If you think you have it in you to work in the financial world like one of those highly paid CFPs, then you must consider getting certified.


Today, we shall talk about the career opportunities that open once you become a certified financial planner. Once you acquire the required knowledge and expertise, there will be jobs waiting for you in many finance-related sectors. Let’s take a look. 


Career Opportunities for Certified Financial Planners


  1. Banks - Banks have two kinds of customers – the regular moderate earning ones and the high-net-worth customers. Banks don’t need to work hard on the former but for the latter, they need experts to guide the HNW customers on how to handle their accounts. When banks start attracting a lot of these customers, they look for Certified Financial Planners. The job of the CFP is to work as a Relationship Manager who helps high-net-worth customers manage their money. From suggesting financial plans to helping them invest their surplus cash to assessing the customer’s risk appetite – CFPs do it all. It is a high-paying and much sought-after job. 
  2. Stock Brokerage - CFPs work in stock brokerages to encourage clients to invest in derivatives and equities directly through mutual funds or the stock market. The job of the CFPs is to educate clients on how to invest in stock markets and to guide them through the process. Since you will have the know-how on how stock markets are likely to work, your guidance will be much respected. 
  3. Asset Management Companies - In the last few years AMCs have become popular in India. They are considered equivalent to safe houses where investors put their surplus money. As a CFP, your job at any AMC will once again be to educate clients on the different kinds of investments (not necessarily stock investments) and their short- and long-term benefits. 
  4. Consultancy - Many aspirants aim to become certified financial planners so that they become their boss. Consultancy is a good career option for you. You can open your shop, become your boss and work with and for people you like. Your job will be linked to helping clients decide different ways to invest their money. Since you are not associated with anyone financial institution, you can give an unbiased opinion that will be highly valued.  
  5. Trainer - A slightly off-beat career option for a CFP but something that you can pursue down the line. It is to become a trainer, a teacher who uses their experience and knowledge to educate the younger aspirants. Coaching institutions and colleges authorized to teach CFP are always on the lookout for experienced CFPs who can teach the next generation. 

Becoming a CFP can open many career opportunities for you. Are you up for an exciting and high-paying career in finance? Join a CFP course today and pass the certification within years.
