Top-Rated CE For Financial Professionals

In January 2025, Advisors4Advisors (A4A) introduced a modern new continuing education experience, replacing a custom-coded platform offshored since 2009. Despite launching on entirely new technology systems, Advisors4Advisors classes through July 2025 are top rated CE and received rave reviews from advisors! 

As of July 2025, 85% of members gave us five-star ratings, and 97% rated Advisors4Advisors four or five stars overall. These aren’t just numbers—they reflect the quality and credibility of the CE we deliver to investment adviser representatives (IARs), CFP® professionals, CPAs, CIMAs®, and other fiduciaries. This is just one reason A4A is recognized for providing top-rated CE to financial professionals.

The Best-Rated IAR CE: Practical, Independent, and Deep

Professionals searching for the best-rated IAR CE find that A4A delivers something rare: sessions led by economists, technologists, and specialists with real-world experience—without hidden agendas. Our focus is on deep learning and independent thinking. Unlike CE webinars that simply repeat headlines or pitch products, our classes are original, timely, and relevant to your daily practice.

How A4A’s CE Compares to Kitces.com

Kitces.com offers a great CE library with extensive technical content and is an extremely valuable resource to financial planners. What makes A4A different is our live classes and focus on what affects your advice today — not just academic concepts. Economist Fritz Meyer, portfolio design expert Prof. Craig Israelsen, and financial counseling pioneer Dr. Frank Murtha, provide independent approaches to their respective knowledge topics in real-time. The diversity of voices on A4A gives professionals perspectives on what’s most important now and are not typically found elsewhere. It's journalism, but instead of interviewing experts and summarizing what they think, Advisors4advisors gives them the microphone and collaborates with them to tell you what's most important. 

AdvisorPerspectives.com: Good Topics, But Often Sponsored 

AdvisorPerspectives.com publishes a strong line‑up of CE topics, but the platform’s own listings clearly show that many webinars are backed by sponsors—ranging from Vanguard and Dimensional Fund Advisors to Charles Schwab and Transamerica—suggesting recurring vendor influence in content selection and framing. That doesn’t necessarily disqualify their value, but it can introduce subtle biases. At A4A, in contrast, classes are sponsor-free and never shaped by product companies. You just never hear Fritz Meyer plugging a fund company, annuity or other product manufacturer. This means you can trust that the guidance and analysis you hear is focused on your clients—not someone’s sales goals. 

Despite New Platform, Top CE Ratings And Advisor Reviews 

When we moved to our new platform on January 1, 2025, we took the opportunity to raise the bar on CE quality. Classes are now easier to access, with better user experience, mobile-optimized playback, and improved completion tracking. Most importantly, the switch hasn’t compromised what matters most—content. Our instructors continue to deliver research-based, actionable insights with no fluff or filler. That’s why even after the transition, our ratings have remained near-perfect and Advisors4Advisors is known for providing top-rated CE for CFP, CIMA, CPA, and IARs subject to NASAA's model CE rule. Point is, tech transitions often are ugly. Our transition admittedly confused some users at different, but classes received high ratings anyway.       

What Advisor Reviews Say About A4A’s Top-Rated CE 

The satisfaction data tell part of the story, but member comments paint an even clearer picture. Advisors regularly describe our CE as 'the most useful' and 'the most trustworthy' among all options. One member recently noted, “I come away from each session with something I can use in a client meeting the same day.” This validates our mission to support fiduciaries and provide top-rated CE— and not just meet minimum CE requirements.

Why Top-Rated CE Matters To Fiduciaries

For investment adviser representatives, CFP® professionals, CPAs, and CIMAs®, continuing education is about more than checking a regulatory box. The content you consume directly impacts the quality of advice you give to clients. That’s why member satisfaction ratings should be a primary factor when choosing a CE provider. This is just one reason A4A is recognized for providing top-rated CE for financial professionals.

Producing Top-Rated CE for FAs

Another reason why A4A classes are top-rated CE for financial professionals is because they are grounded in the realities of today’s advisory practice. Our instructors are not just theorists—they are seasoned professionals who understand the nuanced demands of client relationships, regulatory requirements, and investment performance. That’s why our CE is relevant and actionable 

Members tell us that A4A’s classes feel like sitting in on a private conversation among experts. The format is flexible, the delivery is direct, and the insights are always fresh. This level of intimacy and professional respect creates a stronger connection between advisors and instructors, which in turn makes learning more effective.

For example, Frank Murtha's class on Wednesday, August 13 is timely because it addresses the fact that AI makes technical prowess less important and people skills more important. We know that's not going to be something FAs don't want to hear, but saying it is why Advisors4Advisors is known for providing top-rated CE.  

Aligned With Fee-Only Advisors  

A4A is committed to democratizing access to quality education. Our pricing is transparent and affordable, and there’s no need to sit through promotional material. You know exactly what to expect—fact-based, practical continuing education that respects your time and your intelligence. We don’t push products or let outside interests shape our curriculum. That's why it is top rated CE.  

As CE requirements evolve across states and designations, A4A remains ahead of the curve. We adapt quickly, update course listings, and ensure seamless certificate delivery. We know that compliance is critical, but we believe CE should do more than meet legal obligations—it should inspire better advising, better decisions, and better outcomes for clients.

With our top CE ratings, sponsor-free content, and commitment to empowering fiduciaries, Advisors4Advisors is setting a new standard for what CE can be. Join thousands of professionals who already rely on A4A for top-rated CE for financial professionals—and discover a smarter, more impactful way to stay current.

Advisors4Advisors is grateful to members who take the time to give us their feedback in our satisfaction survey after every class.
