So you’re doing OK financially. You’ve been streaming our podcasts and you’re ready to start talking to a financial planner to help manage and maximise your money. Well get cosy and listen up.
In this week’s value-packed episode, Ryan and Steph are joined by the super impressive Matt Hale (a regular in Australia’s Top 50 influential advisers) to identify what you need to look for (and avoid) in a financial planner.
They leave no stone unturned as they dive into:
- What actually makes a good financial advisor (and what makes one not so good)
- The specific qualifications a legitimate advisor needs to have (and how to verify them)
- Green flags that tell you you've found a winner
- Essential questions to ask early in your journey together
- Whether personality matching matters (spoiler: it does!)
- Red flags of a financial advisor
- When it's time to reassess if your current advisor relationship is still working for you.
At the end of the day it all comes down to trust. And we trust this episode will help you find the right financial planner for you.
Here’s to your Good Life. And thanks for listening.
