Dutch term or phrase: FFP
This abbreviation appears underneath a list of services and their corresponding charges. It looks something like this, from left to right:

[period of time], [no. of days], [no. of hrs.], [hrly fee] & [total charge for each period of time]

The abbreviation appears at the bottom of the second-to-last column, i.e. under the hourly fee. Here's the tricky part: the source text is in both Dutch and English, so I'm not sure whether it's a Dutch abbreviation or an English one. I'm happy to leave it as is, but I'd rather get some feedback from colleagues who are more in the know than I am. TIA for your assistance. Cheers, R.

Explanation:
I'm not sure, but this might be another solution.
"Een gecertificeerd financieel planner mag als zodanig gebruik maken van de titel ‘FFP’ (achter zijn/ haar naam) en het logo ‘gecertificeerd financieel planner".
