Expert Q&A

That is a good question to ask the financial advisor as many choose to focus on certain topics while others are more comprehensive. Now a days most advisors should have a website with a list of services and specialties that they work with clients on. This would be a good starting point before scheduling a meeting with an advisor and meeting only to find out they are not offering what you are looking for.
