How to choose a financial advisor in Sullivan

Verify the advisor's credentials and licensing status through the SEC or FINRA databases.

Ask whether they operate as a fiduciary—meaning they're legally bound to act in your best interest.

Inquire about their investment philosophy and how they customize plans for clients with your situation.

Quality signals to look for

Look for advisors who provide transparent, written fee agreements upfront and are willing to explain their investment approach in plain language. Verify their regulatory history and disciplinary record on the SEC or FINRA websites. Be cautious of advisors who pressure you into immediate decisions, operate on a cash-only basis without documentation, or avoid discussing fees. A strong advisor will welcome questions about their credentials and provide references.
