Finding the right financial advisor to help with your financial needs and goals can be a very complicated process.
There are so many things to consider.

Advisors use their knowledge and expertise to construct personalized financial plans that aim to achieve the financial goals of clients. A good financial advisor will ask you about your life goals and create a plan to help you reach them. That may mean discussing your budget, retirement planning, estate planning, insurance needs, long-term care or tax strategies.
A financial advisor can play a major role in helping clients grow and protect their wealth. The key is to find an advisor you trust, and it’s important to make sure they are someone who is a good match for you.
To be sure, financial advisors aren’t just for rich people — working with an advisor is a great choice for anyone who wants to get their personal finances on track and set long-term objectives. The CNBC ranking is meant to be a starting point for individual investors who are looking for a financial advisor. We hope this list will help to narrow your search.
