Keeps getting better!

If you are looking for a complete and easy to use "bible" for the financial planner or are a student of financial planning this book is probably my favorite. It is COMPLETE. I used this book years ago as an instructor and found that I kept it as a reference to use in my practice. I recently received the latest edition as a gift to replace my shopworn copy and find to it to be up to date, easy to use and still the first book I grab when I need to reference something that I have forgotten over the years or simply don't know. I appreciate the depth of this book and recommend it to my fellow planners as the best book to own for good, quick answers or to students who really want to know the subject matter in a complete way. Before you order keep in mind this isn't a quick read, it's a BIG book and full of information.

The consumate book that covers all your financial planning questions

If you look at the information notated in the table of contents alone, you can see why I say this. The breadth of the financial planning topics covered is simply fantastic. If you are already in the field or are working towards attaining your CFP, there is alot of information to try to retain to be an efficient advisor to your clients. This book will assist you in your endeavor to retain this knowledge and give you one place to find same. I have had fellow CFP students that are already in related professions comment to me they have used this book on a few occassions with in weeks of getting it. I believe actual use is the best recommendation a book like this can get. This is why I am getting another copy of this book to give as a present, to a friend who is an agent for a major Illinois insurance company. I have also had the good fortune to meet the lead author, Sid Mittra, in person and was impressed with his true personal passion and interest in assembling experts in areas to supplement his own knowledge to bring us the best book on Practicing Financial Planning he could.

Most comprehensive guide for all financial planning phases

As a practicing CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER licensee this has to be the most complete publication available for anyone in the field. All phases of the financial planning process are covered and covered well. I purchased an earlier version to see if this was something I wanted to do. I haven't looked back. I am now in the market for the latest edition to keep on my book case as a handy reference. Succinct, accurate and all encompassing. A must read for existing and aspiring financial planners.
