How CFA Talent works

A guided, transparent workflow from project post to project completion — built around the CFA Institute standard.

1. Post your project

Outline scope, timeline and budget. Choose hourly or fixed fee. Add NDAs and supporting docs.

2. Review proposals

Verified CFA charterholders submit proposals. Compare rates, experience and timelines, then interview shortlisted candidates.

3. Hire & fund escrow

Once you select an advisor, CFA Talent holds funds in escrow. Funds release on milestone approval.

4. Pay & review

10% transparent fee on each side. Rate the engagement and build long-term relationships.
