About NAPFA

Established in 1983, the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) began when a group of consultants simply wanted to help their customers without interfering with commissions. Today, NAPFA is the leading professional association of fee-only financial advisors in the country, with the aim to be the beacon of independent, impartial financial advice for families and individuals. 
The NAPFA Mission

NAPFA aims to be the standard bearer for the emerging industry of financial advisory firms. Managed by the NAPFA Board of Directors and supported by four Regional Boards, NAPFA has developed high standards in the field. Every consultant is responsible for upholding their fiduciary duties and must sign the NAPFA Code of Ethics annually.  It's all part of the NAPFA mission. 

Advocacy and Strategic Partnership Framework

NAPFA has developed a strategic framework to pursue this mission and to promote financial planning towards acceptance as a profession. This framework is the backbone of NAPFA and serves to guide the organization in making a fair strategic decision. The framework measures success based on three key performance indicators:

Business Model Sustainability
Public Awareness & Standing
Member Satisfaction

Based on these indicators, NAPFA seeks to establish long-term partnerships that align with their highest priorities. NAPFA ultimately aims to lead an advocacy program that benefits NAPFA’s target audiences and supports the evolution of financial planning into a recognized and regulated profession. In the pursuit to increase awareness, NAPFA advocates for other organizations and public policies that are most consistent with their values and beliefs.
The association provides resources to support the professional success of fee-only financial advisors through networking, education, and business development opportunities.  The NAPFA network consists of more than 3000 practitioners throughout the country.

Who are fee-only financial planners?

As a requirement for NAPFA-advisor level membership, fee-only financial planners are registered investment consultants responsible for acting in the best interests of their customers.  In addition, they do not accept any commission based on sales of products or services. Fee-only consultants have fewer inherent conflicts of interest and generally, offer more comprehensive advice.
