Deciding whether to hire a professional financial advisor requires performing a cost-benefit analysis. Just as you can do your own plumbing without hiring a professional plumber, you can go the DIY route on your finances. But, will things get messy? Some may have a strong financial background with ample time to do it themselves, but others may benefit from hiring a financial advisor that is holistic, tax-focused, and life-focused.
