Anyone have recommendations for a good all-around financial advisor or company around the Durham/Raleigh area?

My wife and I are just looking for someone to help us with our budget/focus our funds to the right places at the right time, etc. Saving for next house, 401k advice, etc.

Obviously, someone who is well-priced would be much appreciated.

I would recommend fee only financial planners. You can locate one in your area from this website. You will pay more up front, but obviously dont have ongoing yearly fees to get average results.

Do they let you get your fees back if you're not happy?

A word of note, Financial Advisors, [Certified] Financial Planners (CFPs), are just titles that nearly anyone can use; and these types don't have a legal obligation to have your financial interests ahead of theirs. Not saying some don't; just that there isn't a legal obligation. A fiduciary on the other hand, has a legal obligation to put your financial needs first.

yes, this should be the most important criteria in selecting a financial advisor.

Low cost index funds. Save more money.


That will be $500
