Why Work With a Financial Advisor?


Why work with a Financial Professional?

Not all financial advisors are the same. 

  • Professional Financial Services, Inc. is a Registered Investment Advisor. This means we have a fiduciary responsibility to act in our clients’ best interests.  Many people find it important to rely on advice from a trusted financial professional instead of a salesperson. An advisor’s qualifications, experience, and business practices matter.
  • CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Practitioners:  Kameron and Nancy Carlson are both CFP®s.  Certified Financial Planner™ certification is the standard of excellence in financial planning.  CFP® professionals meet rigorous education training and ethical standards and are committed to serving their clients’ best interests.

✓ Financial Issues can be complicated and are always changing.  From changes in the tax law, economy, political environment to new techniques and investment products; things change rapidly. Managing finances can be a full-time job. A financial advisor can help navigate these changes, while positioning your assets accordingly.

✓ Likeliness of reaching goals:  Many clients feel it important to have an advisor adjust and monitor the changing financial landscape and fine-tune their plan.  They can also help you navigate and plan for risks and opportunities.

✓ Help set an asset allocation plan:  Taking your risk tolerance, time horizon and goals into account, a financial advisor can help create an asset allocation plan that is right for you.

✓ Keep your emotions in check:  Most clients who have an advisor are less likely to make emotional investment decisions.  A trusted advisor can act as a confidant to have a balanced discussion and help in the decision-making process.

✓ Peace of mind:  When clients have a financial plan, they tend to worry less and feel more in control.

Ultimately, the financial decisions are up to you but a financial advisor can act as a trusted guide.
