Financial advice that fits

To make the most of your first meeting with a potential financial adviser, “get organized,” said Aparna Narayanan in The Wall Street Journal. Assemble your financial records—pay stubs, tax returns, investment records, pension statements—to show that you’re serious. You should arrive with a clear sense of what you need: somebody to manage your investments, take a comprehensive look at your finances, or just clear up a few details? Whichever it is, “don’t expect immediate answers.” A good adviser will read through your documents and get to know you “before making a personalized recommendation.” Consider meeting with two or three people “to compare their approaches and your comfort level with each of them.”
