In
a way, a financial planner is to money as a family physician
is to health. Both have broad knowledge across the boundaries
of their disciplines. In many areas, both can deal with most
of the needs that may arise. And for both there are also many
areas in which referral to a specialist will be required.
In order to be certified, a financial planner must pass exams
covering a wide range of topics, including investment planning,
tax planning, retirement planning, estate planning, employee
pensions and insurance. As a result of this broad training,
a financial planner is able to help you with most of your
financial needs.
Simply put, a financial planner knows about money. Once they
learn about you, they will apply that knowledge to create
a custom tailored financial plan for you.
A financial plan is a very personal thing. It can’t
be packaged or “off the shelf”. You can’t
just go and choose a financial plan. It has to be built from
scratch. And it has to be built on and around you.
