Do you mean an accountant? An account with an understanding our industry definitely helps.
But financial advice depends more on your age and how far you are from retirement. Being creative is irrelevant.
If you’re female (or even if you’re not) there are some great online courses that will get you started without wasting money on an advisor. Like HerFirst100k.com or DowJanes.com. Consider checking those out first. They have free intro workshops and podcasts.
You’ll quickly discover that only a very small percentage of financial advisors outperform the market, yet they charge you a fee that is not performance based.
You just need a brokerage account and time in the market.
