Fees vary by advisor and may be asset-based, hourly, flat-fee, commission-based, or a combination. Ask for the written fee schedule and whether investment product commissions or account expenses are separate.
Look for relevant designations such as CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and verify registrations through FINRA BrokerCheck or the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure database. Also confirm whether the advisor is fee-only, fee-based, or commission-based.
Bring information on income, debts, investments, insurance, tax filings, retirement accounts, and major goals such as retirement, college savings, or estate planning. A complete picture helps the advisor evaluate your plan and recommendations.
Some advisors coordinate estate planning, charitable giving, insurance, and business succession strategies, but legal documents must be prepared by an attorney and tax advice may require a CPA. Ask how the advisor works with those professionals.
Check the advisor or firm through FINRA BrokerCheck and the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure database. These records can show registrations, employment history, and disclosed disciplinary information.
