WHAT IS A FINANCIAL ADVISOR? 

Financial Advisors are hired to manage your "investable assets" (i.e. cash, money market accounts, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, retirement accounts, and trusts), to help you reach your long and short-term financial goals. Typically, you need approximately $250,000 in investable assets but it can be advisable to work with one if you experience a major life transition. The advisors on the ValuesAdvisor platform have a range of minimum account size requirements (zero to $5M).
