Financial adviser
Start by describing the financial decision you need help with and the country in which advice is required. Use broad categories rather than account numbers or detailed holdings publicly, and establish whether you need general guidance or a personal recommendation from an appropriately authorised professional.
Service scope
A professional-service category for identifying the type of financial advice a person or organisation seeks and the relevant authorised expertise. Budget guidance, investment recommendations, pensions and insurance are different activities and must not be treated as one unrestricted service.
What is normally included
- Financial-advice needs assessment
- Matching the relevant advice speciality
- Scoping an agreed professional engagement
What is not included
- Guaranteed returns or savings
- Automatic authority across all financial products
- Handling client funds through a public enquiry
Typical tasks
- Identify the advice objective
- Establish relevant jurisdiction
- Distinguish guidance from recommendations
- Explain the proposed advice scope
- Arrange secure professional onboarding
What to include in your brief
- Advice area
- Country
- Personal or business context
- One-off or ongoing support
- Desired timing
Choosing the right professional
Check the firm's identity and permission for the actual service using the relevant local authority, not just a familiar name. Ask about fees, conflicts, product coverage and ongoing charges before accepting a proposal; a listing does not verify suitability or authorisation.
Important considerations
- Impersonation can misuse legitimate firm names
- Permission for one activity does not imply all permissions
- Advice may create costs or commitments beyond the initial fee
