Cooperation is the conviction that nobody can get there, unless we all get there.
The ASSOCIATION OF AFRICAN AMERICAN FINANCIAL ADVISORS (AAAA) was created to address the professional development needs and advocacy concerns of licensed Black/African American Financial Professionals in Wealth Management, a sector of the Financial Services industry.
AAAA is a Not-for-profit (501 C6) Membership Organization for Black/African American financial advisors, financial planners, home office, and affiliated professionals.
At AAAA, we work in alliance with academic leaders at HBCUs and PWIs that support financial planning degree programs; financial services firms who employ licensed Black/African American Financial Professionals; legislative and regulatory bodies; and consumer interest organizations to advocate for shared interests.
At AAAA we understand the value of comprehensive financial planning and, we view it as an integral component of Wealth Management. Licensed Black/African American Financial Professionals who work in this profession combine investment advice with other retail financial services tailored to their specific clients needs.

Description: The Women’s Impact Initiative Network, within the Association of African American Financial Advisors (AAAA), was formed to serve the vital purpose of addressing the underrepresentation of women in the wealth management sector of the Financial Services Industry.
LeCount R. Davis has always approached financial planning as more of a calling than an academic pursuit, a job or even a profession. During his more than 40 years as a financial planner—he is the first African American to hold the Certified Financial Planner designation.
"My mission in life has been to help my people handle money well so as to be able to create and transfer wealth," he said.
He has helped hundreds of clients and their family members, influenced students as a teacher at Howard University, reached a broad audience through his television show, and has served as a mentor and inspiration to younger generations of financial planners who help carry out his mission through the Association of African American Financial Advisors, which he founded in 2001.
