How to choose a financial advisor in Shepherdsville

Confirm the advisor holds relevant securities licenses (Series 7, Series 65, or Series 66) and check their registration status with FINRA or the SEC.

Ask whether they operate as a fiduciary—meaning they're legally required to act in your best interest at all times.

Request a written fee schedule that clearly outlines all costs, whether hourly, flat-fee, or assets-under-management based.

Discuss their investment philosophy and whether they customize recommendations based on your specific goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon.

Verify their experience handling situations similar to yours—retirement planning, tax optimization, estate coordination, or other priorities.

Ask for references from existing clients who've worked with them for at least one or two years.

Review their Form ADV (available on the SEC website) to understand their business practices and any disciplinary history.

Quality signals to look for

Look for advisors who provide a written agreement outlining fees, services, and your rights before you begin working together. Verify their professional credentials through official regulatory databases rather than relying solely on their website. Be cautious of advisors who pressure you to move money quickly, guarantee specific returns, or insist on cash-only payments without documentation. Transparent communication about how they're compensated—and any potential conflicts of interest—is a hallmark of ethical practice. Ask how they stay current with tax law and market changes, and whether they're willing to explain their reasoning in plain language.
