A professional financial advisor may be easier to find than you realize. All the investment firms have them on staff as well as most of the banks. If your finances are large or complicated you may want to consider contracting with an independent financial advisor to guide you through the maze of investments available.
How to go about Looking for Help.
If you needs are no very complicated I would suggest you first start with the phone book. Contact several firms/persons list there and see what they may offer. If you feel a more sophisticated solution is necessary call on your bank, broker, or accountant to recommend firms/people to you. The more complicated your finances become the more likely a real pro will be necessary. Some firms/advisors will charge a flat fee, while others will work on a percentage. First get a quote for the initial conference and see how comfortable you are with the advisor. If you account has a high potential normally there won't be any fee for this initial contact.
Do your networking at work and play.
If you are not able to get the information that you need from the phone call, then you can talk to some of your friends or family that may have already been looking into financial help before you were. They may have had some good experiences with a certain financial adviser and can point you in the right direction. They may even be able to help you get a discount because they helped you find them.
Research
Once you have found someone that you think you would like to work with, you can take their information to the Internet. This way you will be able to find out anyone else's experiences with them. This will help you to pick the right person for your needs and help you to save some money in the long run.
A couple of good places to look for your research are in message boards that pertain to finances and in chat rooms that may have customers that are in there. They may be able to tell you about the experiences that they had with the same company or person that you are looking at hiring for your needs. If you are able to find this kind of information out before hand, then you will be better prepared for the experience that you are going to have. If you still are worried about what you may have to deal with, then you can keep doing the research that you need to make you feel better about what you are going to be doing. Of course, many times an internet search will net some good advice and/or find someone who can help you.
Getting financial help doesn't have to be hard if you are able to find the right person and you are willing to really look at what may be going on with the financial area of your life. Taking the time to really look into it will help you to understand what you are going to need to do well before you start investing the money that you make and are trying to save for later in life. - 23309
