Testimonials

"Thank you CCC. I know that I would not have been able to pay off my debts without you. I called in desperation in the beginning, everyone there was so helpful and calming. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me get through this and now be paid in full. I will not hesitate to recommend CCC to anyone I know who is having financial difficulties. God Bless You all there."

Financial Planning: Choosing the Right Financial Planner
The process of finding the right financial planner who will meet your needs can be confusing for some people. You may feel like you don’t have enough money to even        think about financial planning, but don’t be discouraged. Even if you’re just starting out and want to gather information on how to secure and build your future financially, making contact with a certified financial planner is a step in the right direction. Here are some pointers in choosing a financial planner:
  • Remember your goal—find someone you can trust and who listens to and understands your financial goals.
  • Where to look. Some own their own businesses, while others may work in a large practice. Also, some commercial banks or investments firms have financial planners on staff.
  • Word of Mouth. One of the best ways to find a trusted financial planner is through family and friends.
  • Check credentials. Many professionals in the field use the term financial planner. Make sure the person you find is really qualified for the job. Here are some designations they may have, depending on their training:
CFP – Certified Financial Planner
CPA-PFS – Personal Financial Specialist
ChFC – Chartered Financial Consultant
Financial planners should receive extensive training and pass tests to be accredited by a recognized program. Some specialize in areas such as investments, taxes, insurance, or retirement.
  • Check experience. Find out how long they’ve been working. Look for one that has a good amount of experience.
  • Ask about fees. You definitely need to know how they’re paid. Some are hourly, while others charge a fee based on a percentage of what is managed. Initial consultations are typically free.
  • Note their communication style.  Is this someone you can work with and understand? Find someone you are comfortable with and can ask questions. Make sure they understand your tolerance for risk and will make decisions based on it.
