Become a
Total Wealth Planner (TWP®)
Fiduciary by Design. Earned for Life.
Planning Before Product. Integrity Before Income.
The Academy of Life Planning is building a new profession — one that puts people, not products, at the centre.
The title Accredited Total Wealth Planner (TWP®) recognises professionals who design life-first financial architecture — empowering clients before, during, and after their interactions with financial systems.
This is not sales.
This is planning.
This is structural integrity.
What is a Total Wealth Planner?
A TWP® plans 100% of a person’s total wealth — not just the small percentage held in retail financial products.
A TWP®:
• Plans life before planning money
• Prioritises human capital before financial capital
• Designs long-term cashflow architecture
• Works product-neutral and commission-free
• Empowers clients through done-by-you, done-with-you, or supported pathways
• Refers to licensed intermediaries only when regulated product intermediation is required
TWPs guide clients through every season of life:
-
Career transitions
-
Business ownership
-
Family change
-
Financial recovery
-
Resilience in hardship
-
Retirement design
-
Legacy planning
Planning is continuous.
Products are occasional.

Fiduciary by Design
“Fiduciary by Design” means the structure itself removes avoidable conflicts.
The TWP® model is not built on:
• Commission
• Asset gathering incentives
• Platform targets
• Product quotas
• Hidden monetisation layers
Revenue, where applicable, is transparent and separate from product placement.
Integrity is architectural — not merely declared.
Planning vs Product Intermediation
TWP® accreditation certifies planning capability.
It is not a licence to promote, recommend, arrange, or sell financial products.
In most jurisdictions, life-centred financial planning is distinct from securities intermediation and investment promotion.
If a TWP® also holds regulatory permissions in their jurisdiction, those permissions are separate from — and not conferred by — this designation.
This distinction matters.

Why TWP® Stands Apart
TWP® status signals:

Structural Integrity — fiduciary design, not rhetoric
