Exciting Announcement – Amy Gauden FPQP®

We are extremely proud to announce that Amy Gauden, who joined our firm in 2016, has earned her Financial Paraplanner Qualified Professional designation. This certification program (FPQP® for short) has prepared Amy to take on a larger role at Shotwell Rutter Baer helping Dave and Nick develop and implement client financial plans.

The FPQP® curriculum includes classes on the financial planning process, business ownership, cash flow, and debt management, insurance, investment strategies, retirement income planning, taxes, and estate planning. The program is capped off with a challenging exam that brings together all these topics. The role of Paraplanner entails going beyond plan input to help analyze a financial plan and help the advisor build and evaluate client scenarios. While Amy has always played a role in helping us in the planning process, this deep understanding of planning fundamentals will allow her to take the next steps forward and shows her dedication to her career.

So help us congratulate Amy next time you talk as we welcome her step forward into this new and exciting role.
