My partner and I were married this year and I’m looking for advice on where to find the best financial advisor to help us plan based on our current situation. I have a great job in marketing, but he’s been heavily affected by the Hollywood strikes as a permalancer in tv production. He has an LLC and I have good benefits, but I don’t know if we’re maximizing them as best we can. Any ideas on what to look for in an advisor? I have most of my investments with fidelity currently.

The XY Planning Network is a great resource for looking into financial advisors that would fit your needs. My partner and I went through them when we were looking for our own financial advisor and we got matched with a great advisor. Def recommend

As you're already working with Fidelity, you might want to look into what they offer in regards to financial advisors. Or if you want to find someone new, you can refer to the site for the financial advisors professional organization (napfa.org). You'd want to be sure the advisor operates under a fiduciary standard (i.e. in your best interest). And someone who works with couples and understands a circumstance like hour husband's income fluctuations would be best. Beyond that, just common sense things, choose someone who communicates clearly and make sure you understand their fee structure.

Look for fee only advisors. Or depending on your situation places like Schwab have access to CFPs for $30/month

Amazing. Thank you both!

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
