Financial Planning for Retirement - looking for a financial planner. Thanks for reading my post. I am looking for someone to give my parents some good financial...

I would check the CFP Board’s website and use their “find a certified financial planner” tool. Some planners charge hourly and some have a flat fee. No need to pay more than $200-$300 per hour, and if their situation is fairly straightforward, you shouldn’t expect it to take more than 10 hours at most.

So my advice is find someone who can teach you what their doing with your money. If you don't fully understand what your investing in I would highly recommend talking to someone who can explain it to you. I work for a bank and you wouldn't believe how many people don't understand what their investing in and what the risks are and trade % rates. The %'s of trade alone are enough to make you go broke. 1-2% are massive amounts of money. Find someone who can teach you and also dont take just one persons opinion. A lot of the wealthy people I interact with on a daily basis have a SIMPLE, CONSISTENT method to investing. CONSISTENT. Remember that word.

Dvereber I am an advisor and typically the process is to assess my potential clients first then be transparent on the work and the fees associated with the work. I'd be happy to talk to you more in depth. Here is a copy of my website and a link to our process as well. My number one suggestion is to work with someone who acts as a fiduciary and does a financial plan for everyone. Not just investment management. https://www.ameripriseadvisors.com/jason.kuennen/ https://cdn.ameriprisecontent.com/cds/alwp/advisor/jason.kuennen/cusersbtramp1 box-synckuennen-nabermarketingkuennen-naber-associates636590486830641558.pdf
Recommendation on a financial planner? Does anyone have a financial planner they like? My wife and I are wanting to get a little more serious about saving for retirement...

Pro tip: Any "financial planning advisor" who is not a fiduciary, is a salesman. Ask them that first. Better yet just go over to r/personalfinance and learn the basics.

Don't have a specific recommendation for one, but I would make sure that whoever you choose is a "Fee Only Financial Planner." Basically, they will charge you for an hour or two of their time to offer *unbiased* financial advice. The alternative is "free" financial planners, such as the ones at local banks and investment firms. I would recommend avoiding those, as they will invariably steer you to whatever financial product gains them the most commission.

Second the "fee only" recommendation- they are more expensive but that is because that is the price of unbiased advice. We used The Sherrington Group and were very happy with them.

You should talk to several planners, [this search](https://www.daveramsey.com/smartvestor) should help you find some.
