Hello,


I have no experience with the specific calculator you mentioned, but I was a
financial planner and completed the CFP coursework using the financial
calculator contained in the Kurzweil OCR program. I did need to read the
manual to figure out the hotkeys, but once I did this it was easy to use,
and contained all of the functions I needed.


You likely wouldn't want to purchase Kurzweil just for this calculator, but
just mentioning its existance in case you already own Kurzweil.
