Simple stuff that matters. Keep it straightforward. The good ones understand you.

Friends might know someone. Some work at credit unions. Take your time.

Some work at investment firms. No big company pushing products. See who discover topics fits best.

Ask how they make money. You want someone who fits your needs. You don't want to be ignored.

See if they make sense. Ask how long they've helped people. The best ones let you decide.

That's always bad. Good ones are upfront. Not just make sales.

Just find someone good. Not fancy titles. Ask around|The right one is out there|You'll find them}.
