Meet the Team of Sudden Money® Institute

Susan Bradley

^{Founder, CFP^®, CeFT^®}

Sudden Money^® Institute began 22 years ago as a community of practice seeking to better serve their financial planning clients by developing processes and tools for the personal side of money and for clients going through transitions.

This Think Tank created the Certified Financial Transitionist^® (CeFT^®) designation and a division for training and certification called the Financial Transitionist^® Institute.

Susan has served on the FPA’s National Board of Directors, she currently sits on the National Football League’s Players Association’s Financial Education Advisory Board, and she serves as the Dean of Transitions for the Council of Deans of the Purposeful Planning Institute. She is seen and heard frequently in the national media, including NBC’s Nightly News, CNN, NPR, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.

She is the author of Sudden Money: Managing a Financial Windfall (Wiley 2000), and she is also the recipient of the Insiders Forum Iconoclast Award 2017.
