It's crucial to understand the biases of those giving financial advice. Financial advising should be an ongoing process, not a one-time event. Look for an advisor who asks questions and understands your personal financial situation. Understanding the advisor's credentialing is essential for making informed choices. Be wary of unlicensed individuals providing financial advice. Ask potential advisors about their motivations and target clients. Ensure the advisor's services align with your financial needs. Inquire about the advisor's succession plan and team structure. A good advisor should articulate their value and how they can help you.
