FA 100: CNBC ranks the top-rated financial advisory firms of 2022

Finding the right financial advisor to help with your financial needs and goals can be a very complicated process.

There are so many things to consider. Every financial advisor has their own area of expertise. The services provided by financial advisors will vary based on the type of advisor but, overall, a financial advisor will assess your current financial situation — including your assets, debts and expenses — and identify areas for improvement.

Advisors use their knowledge and expertise to construct personalized financial plans that aim to achieve the financial goals of clients. A good financial advisor will ask you about your life goals and create a plan to help you reach them. That may mean discussing your budget, retirement planning, estate planning, insurance needs, long-term care or tax strategies.
