Individuals and companies consult them on a lot of matters such as insurance, loans and investments. This independent financial advisor Dublin also advises on legal and tax matters which needs your attention and you do not know how to. Here are some guides in looking for a professional who could provide this service in your area.

Start searching in your area for professions which offers this service using the internet and obtain their contact information. The yellow pages may also be used in searching for one in your area as advertisements might be placed there. List all of them down and acquire more information regarding them to help you decide.

Ask from your family members and friends for recommendations because they might have employed one for similar purposes before. They would tell you their experiences and their satisfaction of the services provided to them. Add those recommended that are not yet listed and acquire more information regarding them as well.

Make some background research about them including how many years they have been offering this service. The years are an indication of how experienced they are in providing advises to those who needs them. Ask how many clients they have served which indicates how many people trust them and their advises.

Check if that adviser is appointed by or representing a registered firm and has the qualifications appropriate for the profession. A license is also required for them to have in doing this job and classes on different aspects in financial planning should have been undertaken by them. These things would be your basis to know they are qualified.

Read some reviews and testimonials online to know the opinions of the people regarding the advisor and their services. You may also know if there were any negative opinions or complaints that have been raised against them here. You can find this information in websites allowing customers to write reviews on firms or individuals they dealt with.

Request some references to contact and talk about their capabilities in advising the best possible course of action. These are clients they have usually, either previously or currently, and will tell you what they are thinking when asked by you. Inquire on the success of the results based on the advice by the advisor and if they deemed them trustworthy.

Inquire about the price of their consultation fee and if they charge per project, hourly rate, percentage of assets they manage for you or an annual or quarterly retainer fee. They should not be getting commissions based on how much the products they advised you to buy. Doing this will not make them and independent advisor but instead a representative of an institution. They may tend to suggest plans and products not suitable to your current finances so that they can get a commission out of you.
