- When Canadians want expert advice, they either turn to a
professional or to a book. When CFP® licensees pen their
expertise, consumers get both - books on planning written
by professional planners. Finding both is just a click away
on Financial Planners Standards Council's (FPSC) Authors'
Page at www.cfp-ca.org.
From Taxes for Canadians FOR DUMMIES ® to
Tax Guide for Investment Advisors, these books are written
for rookie or seasoned consumers of financial products and
advice, and for professionals.
The two latest offerings listed on FPSC's web
site are written for the consumer. Rosentreter's Rules by
Kurt Rosentreter, CFP, CA, an accountant who specializes in
high net worth, guides readers through the maze of choices
to help them become a successful - and tax-smart - investor.
Who's Minding Your Money? by Sandra Foster, CFP, a sought-after
speaker at consumer events and industry conferences, is a
thought-provoking, forward look at what is happening in the
financial services industry. Other books listed on the site
are written specifically for professionals.
"Books on financial planning aren't new,"
says FPSC President Don Johnston. "But now more than
ever, CFP licensees are sharing their considerable expertise
in books, elevating awareness of this growing profession to
the benefit of all."
