My wife and I are 41, live in Florida and make over $200,000 a year – but we’ve never had a financial adviser. Where do we start?

When seeking financial advice and tax services, consider hiring a fee-only adviser rather than a fee-based one. Fee-only advisers solely receive compensation from client fees, minimizing potential conflicts of interest. In contrast, fee-based advisers may also earn commissions from product sales, which could influence their recommendations. It’s advisable to hire separate professionals for financial advice and tax services. When selecting advisers, prioritize fiduciary status and transparency.
