Choosing A Financial Adviser

You may recognise that you need financial advice, but need help in choosing a Financial Adviser.

It’s not easy! Ideally you will be looking for someone that you feel comfortable with, that you can trust, and who you feel has your best interests at heart. Of course the service and fees need to be suitable for your requirements too.  The Government’s ‘MoneySmart’ website provides a comprehensive guide here: Choosing-A-Financial-Adviser
