In 2019, Josh earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) designation, which identifies those individuals who have met the rigorous experience and ethical requirements of the CFP Board and have successfully completed coursework on financial topics in the following areas: general principles of financial strategies, insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits planning, and retirement and estate planning strategies.
