Look for an advisor who is a fiduciary, meaning they are legally required to act in your best interest. Consider their fee structure (fee-only is often preferred), credentials (like CFP®), and experience with clients in your specific financial situation.
These terms are often used interchangeably, but 'Financial Planner' often implies a focus on comprehensive long-term planning (retirement, estate, tax), whereas 'Financial Advisor' may focus more on investment management. Look for the CFP® designation for rigorous planning expertise.
Costs vary. Fee-only advisors typically charge a percentage of assets under management (often ~1%), an hourly rate ($200-$400/hr), or a flat annual fee. Always ask for a clear explanation of all fees in writing.
