advisor
One who counsels
An advisor is someone who gives advice, especially in an official or professional capacity: a financial advisor, a campaign advisor, a faculty advisor.
The role implies expertise and ongoing consultation rather than casual suggestion.
Also spelled adviser, with no difference in meaning—both are standard.
