What the hell is a Financial Planner?

In episode 10, Kyle sits down with three CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERS™ to discuss just what it means when someone calls themself a "Financial Planner".

Andy Flattery, CFP® from Simple Wealth Planning, Mike Zung, CFP® from Java Wealth Planning, and Tyler Landes, CFP®, AIF® of Tandem Financial Guidance sit down with host of the podcast, Kyle Hill, CFP® of Hill-Top Financial Planning to discuss what exactly it means to call yourself a financial planner, or a financial advisor, or any of the other creative names out there to describe an individual that is giving investment advice for a living. They discuss ways to identify who individuals truly are, and suggest things you should do and ask when looking to hire a financial advisor or planner.

Top Recommendations and Questions you should ask your financial advisor or financial planner, according to our host and guests:

1. Are you a broker or are you an advisor or both, and what are you when you’re working with me?
2. Are you a fiduciary? If yes, when? The whole time or only when you are providing me advice?
3. How do you get paid?
4. What services do you provide for your fees?
5. What types of investments do you use?
6. Do you use Proprietary Products?
7. Find the right fit for you.
