Doing taxes? Don’t make this CPA mistake #biggerpockets #personalfinance #taxes
Summary
AI-generatedThe video explains the difference between fee-based and fee-only financial advisors. A 'fee-based' advisor gets paid based on the products they sell you, while a 'fee-only' advisor charges a fee independent of product sales. The speaker offers a quick way to identify an advice-only financial advisor, which is to ask if you can pay with a credit card; if they are uncomfortable or offer a 'free' explanation, they're likely not advice-only.
Key insights
Fee-only financial advisors charge a fee, independent of the products they recommend or sell.
Mistakes to avoid
Don't assume an advisor is truly 'advice-only' if they hesitate or make excuses when asked if you can pay their fee with a credit card.
