Before you start looking for a financial advisor in the Seymour area, ask yourself:

• What do I want help with?
• What’s changing in my life, business, or finances?
• Do I need a long-term planner, a second opinion, or specialized advice?

The right financial advisor doesn’t start with products, they start with listening and understanding what matters most to you.

A great financial advisor should offer more than investment picks. Look for someone who can:

• Plan comprehensively: tax, retirement, estate, equity comp, business transitions
• Communicate clearly: avoiding jargon while still showing technical skill
• Act as a fiduciary: giving advice in your best interest
• Work collaboratively: with your CPA, attorney, or other professionals
• Charge transparently: no hidden fees or confusing structures

Ask: “Will this person bring clarity, not just complexity?”

Ask them:

• “What types of clients do you serve best?”
• “How do you tailor advice for someone in my situation?”
• “What’s your planning process like?”

This is a relationship, not a transaction. During your meeting:

• Notice how much they ask about you, not pitch themselves
• See if they explain complex issues in a calm, clear way
• Ask what success looks like for the clients they serve
• Trust your instincts: Do I feel heard? Respected? Confident?
