FPAC

Members of FPAC (the Financial Planning Association of Canada) are a source of quality advice. Working closely with governments, regulators, financial planners, academia, vendors and the general public, FPAC’s goal is to set standards and principles that will allow financial planning to evolve into a knowledge-based profession that ultimately commands the credibility, public awareness and respect afforded to other advisory professions. If you have financial planning questions, FPAC members can help—consult our directory of members to find the right fit for you.
