What does a financial advisor do?

A financial consultant is one who gives financial advice to his clients. In determining an investment portfolio for a client, they must take many information into account, including economic trends, regulatory changes and the client's comfort with risky decisions. Financial planners collect information and financial statements and put the information into software that projects future results. By running multiple "what if" scenarios, financial planners can identify a set of decisions that produce better results for you. And once you have a financial projection, you have to forget about things you have no control over and focus your energies on things you can control in your business.
