We’re thinking of hiring a financial adviser but we’ve never been to a financial adviser before – so we’re not sure how to find one that best suits our needs. Tania, Co LouthA To find the right financial adviser, take time to work out what type of financial advice you are looking for. Third: check if the financial adviser has a recognised professional qualification to give financial advice and if he has experience advising people in similar situations to yours. Also ask what other payments the financial adviser receives – such as commission from the financial provider he is selling products for. Fifth: before choosing a financial adviser, contact a number of them and compare their fees, qualifications and experience.
