Founded in 1984 International Association of Registered Financial Consultants, (IARFC^®) is a non-profit professional Association formed to foster public confidence in the financial services profession, help financial consultants exchange planning techniques, and recognize practitioners who are truly committed to ethical standards and continuous professional education. We simply want the public to have the best financial advice available.

In a world of constant economic, political and social change, consumers engage the guidance of a financial consultant to achieve financial security and independence. A qualified, trained, educated, experienced, and ethical consultant to guide individuals, families, and small businesses is essential. We support these professionals in helping their clients attain financial independence and minimize risk.  

As a professional association, we require all of our designated and credentialed members to meet and document stringent requirements in: Experience, Education, Examination, Licensing, Conduct, Ethics, Application/Fees, Continuing Education, and Re-Certification. Our designations and credential represent a high level of competency of our members at following a financial planning process from start to finish and an ability to run a practice efficiently.
