Ask for and read a potential advisor’s code of ethics.
I’m not saying this will be an enjoyable task, but it may be very worthwhile. You should be clear on exactly what code of ethics your potential advisor must abide by. Look specifically for language regarding acting in the best interest of clients.
Specific needs? Look for someone who specializes.
Keeping track of everything for everyone is difficult no matter what the field. Focusing and specializing in a particular area allows some advisors to become very well-versed and experienced in the needs of certain clients. Their aim is to excel at one thing, rather than be merely “okay†at everything. For example, some specialize in the needs of educators, others in the particular requirements of medical professionals, while still others may focus on a specific demographic or net worth. Consider seeking out a professional whose specialty matches your needs.
