When do you need a financial planner?
Rounding it up
Financial planners help clients look at and prepare for their long-term financial future.
People who understand and have time to manage their own finances do not need a financial planner.
However, if you’re preparing for a raise, an inheritance, a divorces, retirement, taxes, or another major financial decision, consider getting some professional advice.
If you decide not to proceed with a financial planner, make sure to do your own research. For example, the Canadian government offers free financial planning resources and tools.
