Cathy Shisler of Edward Jones, left, and Edward Jones Financial Advisor Shelly Wiemann celebrate Wiemann’s certification as a Certified Finnancial Planner (CFP®) Thursday night at the Karen Wray Gallery. Wiemann said earning this certification means that she can serve a broader set of needs for her clients. In order to become a CFP®, Wiemann said she had to take eight different exams. Wiemann decided to throw a party for all her clients at the Karen Wray Gallery because her office is too small to hold everyone. Wiemann’s office is at 555 Oppenheimer Dr. Suite 206. Wiemann has served Los Alamos’ financial needs for four years. For more information, call 505.661.9754. Photo by Kirsten Laskey/ladailypost.com
