Frequently Asked Questions

WiserAdvisor.com is an independent and unbiased matching service designed to help individuals connect with financial advisors who are screened to align with their specific needs. We cover a wide array of services, including portfolio management, retirement planning, educational planning, estate planning, insurance, taxes, and business finances.

We pride ourselves on our system’s simplicity, objectivity, and our network of pre-screened advisors. Within a short amount of time, you can be on your way toward finding an advisor who can work towards your goals, at no cost or obligation to you.

No, all we need are (a) basic information to be able to match financial advisors for you, and (b) your contact information so that the advisors can get in touch with you. Make sure to provide accurate contact information, as this is the only way your advisor can reach you. We will never ask for your credit card or any other billing information since the service is completely free.

If you choose the search assistant method, after you submit your information, one of our pre-screened, experienced consultants will be assigned to find financial advisors for you. They will send you an email with their names and background information, including certifications and experience. The selected financial professionals will then get in touch with you.

Alternatively, if you choose to use the advisor directory or the matching service, then you will receive an email with the names of the professionals you selected, and they will contact you shortly thereafter.

WiserAdvisor is not a financial advisory firm—it doesn’t hold or manage your money. It’s a match service that connects you with licensed financial advisors who do. Do note that the advisors you’re matched with are required to register with FINRA or the SEC, depending on their practice size and structure.

WiserAdvisor’s directory listing and matching engine prioritize advisors with clean compliance records. That said, it’s always a good idea to verify an advisor’s credentials yourself through FINRA’s BrokerCheck or the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure database.
