By partnering with The College, NACFF recognizes synergy in the accredited institution’s mission to advocate for ethical standards in the profession and champion the service financial professionals provide to benefit society.

Founder and CEO of the NACFF, Rick McClanahan, says of the new partnership, “We’ve worked hard to establish the Certified Financial Fiduciary^® designation as the new standard of excellence for financial professionals wishing to prove to their clients that their best interest will always come first. Since inception, The American College of Financial Services has always had a long-standing commitment to providing the highest-quality education to professionals entrusted with the public’s well-being. Bringing these two philosophies together in this partnership was a no-brainer, and one that we are certain will enhance the fiduciary knowledge and practices of our students, as well as enrich the lives of their clients in the future.”
