financial advising

Wealth planning service

Financial advising is the practice of helping individuals or organizations manage their money—guiding decisions about investments, retirement planning, taxes, insurance, and estate planning.

A financial advisor assesses a client's situation and goals, then recommends strategies: She sought financial advising before buying her first home.

The field ranges from fee-only planners to commission-based brokers, with varying degrees of fiduciary responsibility.
