Whitaker-Myers Wealth Managers is proud to announce that Financial Advisor Logan Doup has officially earned his Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) designation, joining a distinguished team of CFP professionals dedicated to putting clients first.
From Helping Voices to Empowering Futures
Logan’s journey to financial planning is as inspiring as it is unconventional. For nearly a decade, he worked as a speech‑language pathologist, serving patients ranging from pediatric language learners to stroke survivors. With a master’s in Speech‑Language Pathology from the University of Akron (2013) and a bachelor’s in Speech and Hearing Science from Ohio State University (2010), Logan’s transition into finance was fueled by his passion for teaching—instilled by his experience in healthcare and deepened through Dave Ramsey’s Financial Coach Master Training, a curriculum that Logan completed early in his career.
Now, as a CFP®, Logan brings that same heart‑of‑a‑teacher approach to every client interaction. He listens to each individual’s story, crafts personalized financial strategies, and helps guide them through meaningful goals—especially on their path to debt‑free living and financial independence.
Leadership Celebrates His Achievement
Chief Financial Planning Officer Tim Hilterman, CFP®, had this to say:
“Logan’s dedication to professional growth and his genuine care for clients make this CFP® achievement a tremendous benefit for our entire firm. It strengthens our shared mission to guide clients with unwavering integrity and planning excellence.”
Whitaker-Myers Wealth Managers President, John-Mark Young, CFP®, added:
“Seeing Logan reach this milestone fills me with pride—not just as a colleague but as a fellow CFP®. His technical rigor, combined with his nurturing spirit, embodies what we strive for at Whitaker‑Myers: serving our clients with deep expertise, compassion, and clarity.”
Why CFP® Should Be the Standard Clients Demand
Earning the CFP® designation isn’t just a checkbox—it’s a profound promise to clients. Here’s why it matters:
Rigorous Standards: To become a CFP®, one must complete a comprehensive education program, pass a challenging exam, fulfill relevant experience requirements, and commit to ethical and fiduciary standards upheld by the CFP® Board.
Evidence of Competence: The certification ensures the advisor has a strong foundation in investment planning, retirement, tax, insurance, estate planning, and ethics—offering clients comprehensive expertise.
Fiduciary Commitment: CFP® professionals are bound to act in their clients’ best interests, elevating trust and accountability in every financial conversation.
Continuing Education: CFP® designees must regularly update their knowledge, ensuring clients receive contemporary, informed guidance—especially valuable in today’s fast-paced financial world.
At Whitaker‑Myers, the CFP® designation represents more than just a formal credential—it embodies a guiding principle. As a fee‑based, independent Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) firm committed to the fiduciary standard, the firm continually promotes the practice of client‑focused, empowered financial planning. A fundamental value of our firm is to possess the heart of a teacher. We believe that those with the most knowledge make the best teachers, which is why the CFP® designation holds such significance.
Looking Ahead: Confident Planning, Compassionate Partnership
As Logan embarks on this new chapter as a CFP®, clients can look forward to refreshed clarity, confident guidance, and steadfast partnership. His rich background in care—both clinical and financial—combined with elite planning credentials, positions him uniquely to help families, professionals, and retirees build and safeguard their financial futures.
Congratulations, Logan! Your CFP® certification marks not just an achievement, but a deeper affirmation of the trust and futures you empower at Whitaker-Myers.
