Is your financial advisor truly meeting your needs, or is it time for a change? In this episode, we tackle the tough decision of when to fire your financial advisor. Learn from personal stories, including my parents' own experiences with suboptimal guidance, and uncover the critical factors you need to consider—like expert tax planning and specialized early retirement strategies.

We'll discuss why integrated tax planning is a must and explore the importance of a clear succession plan for your advisor to ensure continuity and trust. Long-term relationships and manageable client loads are vital for sustained success, and we highlight these aspects in our conversation. Finally, we dive into the value of detailed financial planning for retirement and the necessity of fee transparency, demonstrating how justified fees can boost your confidence in your retirement plan.
