I wouldn’t say it’s necessary but more than anything it a) credentializes you and b) gives your a better understanding of the why behind the decisions made by a clients financial advisor/wealth manager. That being said, if you already have your CPA, getting your CFP is easier given you don’t have to take all the classes. I personally hold both and I don’t regret it other than when CE is due lol. You could just get your PFS and you’d be fine.
