What to know about Financial planners
Financial planning is the written work of setting out where a household stands, what it is trying to reach and how the pieces fit together: cash flow and debt, retirement, education savings, insurance needs, the tax implications of each, and how assets are meant to pass on. A planner's deliverable is the plan and the conversation around it, which is what distinguishes the work from a transaction-led relationship built around products.
