How do you go about finding and interviewing the best financial advisers or certified financial planners (CFP) for your unique needs? First, you should think about your specific financial situation and goals. Then interview appropriate financial advisers, asking about investment philosophy and fees. Also, be sure to do a background check on their compliance history. Then, set expectations for your relationship with your financial adviser.

The first thing to do is to realize that you should find a financial adviser who matches your unique financial situation. Most people don’t know that there are financial planners who specialize in business owners, retirees, teachers, doctors, socially responsible investing and hundreds of other niches. This is important because if the financial or investment adviser has developed experience working with a particular niche, then they will be better prepared to help someone in that financial situation.

When interviewing financial advisers or planners, ask them about their focus and experience helping other investors like you.

You should also ask the adviser about their investment philosophy, to make sure it matches your own. Also ask the adviser to explain all of their fees to you. Fees might included commissions (which are a charge for each trade placed), an asset based fee (which is a charge on the value of your account, like 1% of assets each year) or a planning fee (which could be $ 500 to help you create a retirement plan which you implement on your own). There is no right or wrong way to pay a financial adviser, each way has positives and negatives, just understand what the fees are.

You should also do a background check on financial advisers.

For brokers and registered representatives (which most financial advisers are) go FINRA’s BrokerCheck. This is a government agency website. For investment advisers, go to the SEC’s website.

Finally, you should set both you and your adviser’s expectations for your relationship. You should realize that the advisor can’t control or predict the stock market, interest rates, or any other future events. The financial adviser is there to create a plan to help you reach your financial goals. You should also make sure the adviser understands your expectations, such as how often you want to be contacted or to meet in person.

These steps can help insure that you find the right financial adviser or financial planner for your needs. If so, you will be much more like to be financially successful and happy!

My husband and I have been meeting resistance from our financial planner these days. We (okay, I) had wanted to purchase a summer house in beautiful Tagaytay Highlands, which had with it free golf membership.  He said no.  I wanted to buy a foreclosed house for which I would pay a pittance for.  He said no.

It could be quite frustrating to be told that you cannot buy something that you really, really want.  But that is the function of a financial planner – he will tell you if you can, when you can, how you can.  He is my personal financial brakes, someone to tell me that I am going overboard, or that I am just being silly.

I found (won) my financial planner through a newspaper reality financial planning contest – a blessing, really. I would not have survived the search for him – of checking his credentials, his experience, specialization, his fee, his certifications, work history, his fee, education, affiliation, the fee arrangement (hourly, flat or commission)…

No, I would have given up or chickened out or got scared because of “the fee” factor.

But how does one find his financial planner under normal circumstances?  Well, there is no short cut except conduct those interviews.  I suggest that you try a financial planner for at least a month (kind of a trial period if he is willing) before the fee arrangement is inked and money passes hands.  Find out if he is someone who will:

Protect your interest (not suffer from conflict of interest, i.e., promoting investment vehicles because he will get a percentage from it unless this is your arrangement).
Listen.
Create the best financial frame of mind for you  (after all, wealth starts in the mind).
Time for you.
Gutsy and brave enough to say yes or no to you what you perceive are your dreams and life goals (really a sensitive topic).
Respect you.
Willing to share part of the blame for wrong decisions you made because of his advice.
Enough experience to keep from giving you bad advice.

A financial planner, like you, is in it for the money. But the crucial element, which I hope you will see in the trial period, is that he should make money for both of you, or appear to do so.

This is also not a one way street.  Having the perfect financial planner will not ensure that wealth or financial freedom will come.  You should be willing to listen, and weigh, and get involved.  You should question and analyze and sometimes go against what your financial planner advises.  Remember that with all his financial knowledge, he is also weighed down by his biases for and against money.  Sometimes, your gut or your instinct may be more right.

A year ago, our business was flailing because of loss of orders from the United States.  Our financial planner advised us to cut our losses and pack up.  If we had done what he advised and did not stick around long enough to experience the upturn of the business, we would have gone back to square one.

A financial planner is one of the most important vehicles to financial freedom.  Choose wisely.  And enjoy the ride.
