What Is a Financial Advisor?
A financial advisor is a trained expert who helps individuals or businesses make informed financial decisions. This includes developing strategies for budgeting, saving, investing, retirement planning, tax optimisation, and risk management. Financial advisors may also offer specialised services like estate planning, insurance consultation, and business financing advice.
At IE International Group, our financial advisors take a holistic approach, guiding clients through each stage of financial planning with customised strategies designed for long-term growth and compliance.
