How to find a good financial advisor in Tampa Bay

TAMPA, Fla. - April 6, 2016 - PRLog -- Personal recommendation from friends or family is one way to find a financial adviser but it's not always easy to work out whether an adviser has done a good job until years after they have given the advice. Being 'nice' doesn't always mean that they are a good adviser.

There is nothing like a recommendation.

All journeys start at home. And your search for an Independent Financial Advisor should be no different.

Ask your family and friends if they have an IFA and what they think of them. Good IFAs get most of their clients by recommendation.

Are there any questions I should ask them?

You should find out if your adviser is truly independent.

Some advisers are linked to companies, which means they can only recommend their products. This is hardly quality financial advice, as it means you will be missing out on most of the products on offer.

Thats why going to banks to find financial advisors is a no-no.

You should ask them how long they have been in business. Experience counts when it comes to Independent Financial Advisors.

Also make sure you like your adviser.

You are going to share some pretty personal information with them. If they make you feel uncomfortable, chances are you are not going to go to them as often as you should or perhaps when you should.
