Question:
I have a strong background in tax and accounting. I worked for a CPA firm for about 4 years. I have a BS in Accounting. I became interested in Tax and Personal Financial Planning my senior year of college. I really would like to help people with their finances and savings, that is where my heart is. My only problem is that I don't want to really be a salesperson. I guess I would have to if it is a necessary evil. Also I have read about fee only advisors. Can someone please give me more insight in financial advising as far as what it really entails?
