As Social Security becomes more strained by the large numbers of baby boomers reaching retirement age, everyone is more concerned about retirement benefits. Many are turning to financial planning professionals to help them sort out their plans for retirement. But while non-federal employees have access to a large pool of financial pros, federal employees have very few options. The trouble is, there just arent many financial-services-trained professionals out there who understand the complex benefits and financial planning needs of federal employees.

Jack Patterson, CFP is one of those rare few. In fact, the College of Financial Planning Board of Standards who issues CFP Designations (Certified Financial Planner) has said, "What is needed are more financial-services-trained professionals who could be able to help and assist federal employees in taking advantage of their federal employee benefits."
