Credit Advisors Foundation has been helping people get out of debt with dignity since 1991. As a leader in the field of financial education, they have helped thousands of people get control of their money problems and go on with their lives. In addition to providing credit and budget counseling, they also offer a series of online financial education resources as well as personal finance workshops. All programs and services are in support of a mission to provide programs and solutions that empower consumers to effectively manage their finances, create economic security, and realize equality of access and opportunity.

As a member of the NFCC, Credit Advisors Foundation will continue accreditation through the Council on Accreditation, Inc. (COA) which has been an integral practice for the agency for 14 years. COA is an independent third-party not-for-profit accrediting organization that has reviewed more than 1,500 social service programs to ensure compliance with rigorous best-practice standards. All NFCC member agencies must be re-accredited by COA every four years. The NFCC is also recognized within the sector, and by creditors for its trademarked Counselor Certification Program.
