There are many reasons someone would use a financial advisor. They include:

• Investing, let alone taking care of all your financial issues, is more complicated than it has ever been. It is helpful to have someone looking out for your needs and helping you take advantage of all the possibilities available to you.
• It can take an enormous amount of time to do proper research and implement a plan. Why not delegate that work to a professional so you can spend your time on the things that matter to you most?
• Staying the course with your financial plan is not always easy. It helps to have an objective third party watching over your assets and making sure you stick to your plan.
