Foundation for Financial Planning Announces Abacus Planning Group, Carter Financial Management, Pinnacle Advisory Group and Yeske Buie Added as 2016 Be Our Guest Hosts

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) November 17, 2015 -- Foundation for Financial Planning, Inc., today announced the addition of 2016 Be Our Guest (BOG) sessions. Created in 2006 by Ross Levin, CFP®, Be Our Guest is an opportunity for financial planning professionals to spend time with and learn directly from the profession's leaders on various topics. Jim Peniston, Executive Director stated, “we are pleased Abacus Planning Group, Carter Financial Management, Pinnacle Advisory Group and Yeske Buie have joined our list of hosts and are certain these added sessions will appeal across the spectrum to senior, mid-level and new professionals.”

The 2015-16 BOG sessions are the Foundation’s most comprehensive offering to date. In exchange for a charitable contribution to the Foundation, planners can spend time at a firm's office or in a virtual meeting, learning the best practices of the host firm. With participation, financial advisors will gain knowledge from the value of one-on-one sharing while supporting the Foundation for Financial Planning. Mary Moore, CFP® stated, “I had anticipated this being a valuable experience, but the time the principals at RTD Financials Advisors spent with us and the frankness with which they described their own experiences was above and beyond my expectations. A really exceptional day.”

Space is limited and the Foundation strongly encourage interested individuals to register immediately.
