The Carter Team: Dedicated to Service for Over 40 Years

Carter Financial Management’s professionals are the backbone of the business. They arrive at work every day grateful for the opportunity to serve their clients as a trusted family friend, always happy to help through life’s highs and lows.

Every CFM executive, Wealth Manager and Financial Advisor has met the rigorous requirements to become a Certified Financial Planner Professional. In addition, they must obtain continuing education beyond the licensing standards of their profession, adhere to a strict code of conduct, and participate in community service.

Individually, nine Carter planners have made the publication’s “Best Financial Planners in Dallas” list at least once, many have made multiple appearances, and two have been on the list every time since it began in 2002.

In addition, the firm’s personal finance professionals have been quoted in such publications as The New York Times, Money magazine, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Dallas Morning News, and Financial Planner magazine, among others.
