Membership

The spirit of collaboration is alive and well!

At NAPFA we offer several categories of membership and affiliation - one is sure to match your experience, education and practice. Belonging to NAPFA at any level provides entrance into the nation's premier group of Fee-Only financial professionals. We are proud that the greatest benefit of joining NAPFA is the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals in a unique collaborative association.

Take a look at the specific eligibility requirements and see which category is right for you. There are three categories of membership: NAPFA-Registered Financial Advisor, Provisional Member, and Sustaining Member. In addition, Fee-Only professionals who do not meet NAPFA membership criteria but who wish to become affiliated with NAPFA may do so through three classifications of affiliation: Financial Services Affiliate, Academic Affiliate, and Student Affiliate

All members agree to follow NAPFA’s strict definition of Fee-Only. We believe when making recommendations, financial advisors should put the interests of their clients first. All members and affiliates are required to sign the NAPFA Fiduciary Oath and attest to following the oath and our standards of membership every year.

Benefits for all members and affiliates include: 

  • Discounts on products and services appropriate for a Fee-Only advisor 
  • A subscription to the NAPFA Advisor and Newslink
  • Use of the Fee-Only logo to show you're an advisor who doesn't accept commissions
