Chris' Qualifications

J. Christopher Brown, Jr.| Managing Partner

 

Since starting in the financial services industry in 2004 I have earned a series of professional designations that I believe allow me to better serve my clients and understand their needs. Below is a brief description of the designations that I hold and am most proud of.

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™

The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification is widely considered the standard of excellence for financial planning. The designation was developed by the CFP Board, a non-profit organization whose mission is to ensure a high level of education, experience and ethics in the financial planning industry. The CFP Board developed the CFP® certification to help investors locate educated, tenured and ethical financial advisors who understand the complexities of the financial markets and are dedicated to making recommendations in the client's best interest.

Why Choose A CFP Professional

Certified Divorce Financial Analyst™

Part of my practice is built around helping divorcees through the divorce process. As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst™, I help my clients and their attorneys analyze and comprehend the financial issues of divorce. My goal as a CDFA® professional is to ensure that both the client and their attorney understand the long-term financial implications of a settlement.
