How to Choose a Retirement Advisor

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2016 data), there are over 270,000 financial advisors in the US. That number alone can be overwhelming. As we discussed in previous posts, each has their own custom approach and set of services they provide to clients.  

 

Retirement is confusing enough.

Now I need to choose from 270,000 “financial advisors”?

 

Now if you’re reading this post… it’s clear… you want to move past the confusion and you want help with your retirement planning and investment management.

Good news.  Help is near.

Because you know, there are questions you’ll want to answer and things you’ll have to do before you confidently retire.
