Show Notes

Selecting a financial advisor involves more than just investment management. It’s important to understand their compensation structure—whether they charge flat fees, commissions, or asset-based pricing—to ensure their incentives align with your financial goals. In this episode, we discuss how to evaluate an advisor’s services, identify any limitations, and choose the right fit based on your financial management style and personality. We also explore the role of trust and confidence in building a successful advisor-client relationship. Whether you prefer a hands-on coaching approach or comprehensive financial planning, we provide insights to help you decide if professional guidance is right for you. Tune in to learn how financial planning extends beyond investments into tax, estate, and holistic wealth management strategies.
