What is the IARFC?

The IARFC is a non-profit credentialing organization of proven financial professionals formed to foster public confidence in the financial planning profession, to help financial advisors exchange planning techniques, and to give deserved recognition to those practitioners who are truly committed to ethical standards and continuous professional education.

What about other professional designations?

We hold the RFC designation to be different and perhaps more encompassing. However, the IARFC does not assert that any other professional designations or their organizations are inferior. The public is not served by divisive criticism, but rather by dedicated and well-prepared professionals. Our goal is to encourage professional conduct and collaboration between professional advisors, with strong emphasis on the importance of continuing education.
