Customer Reviews
Thank you for the help!
Just walked out of my CFP test and passed! I greatly appreciate your podcast and discovered it about 3 months ago in my preparation. While I did not do your review plan there were areas in the podcast that led me to my “ah-ha” moment and some great tricks to help remember certain concepts. Moving forward I will recommend this podcast as well as y’all’s review program to anyone I know interested in obtaining the CFP marks.
