THE FINANCIAL PLANNING ASSOCIATION
of the GREATER HUDSON VALLEY

The home for Financial Planners in:

Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, and Dutchess Counties

The Financial Planning Association (FPA) is an indispensable resource for CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP) Professionals. Simply put, we are the community that works together to elevate individual financial planners, regardless of practice type, and the financial planning profession as a whole. We believe true financial planners provide an invaluable, critical service to society, and that CFP® professionals lead the way in the commitment to raise the bar for the clients they serve.
