A Financial Adviser: The Path to Sound Money Management

Life in Israel is not easy. The cost of living, reflected in rising prices across all areas: food, education, housing, clothing and more, makes life in the country particularly challenging, especially for young families, young people starting out and new business owners. They sometimes find themselves struggling to keep their heads above water just to survive. Young people may work full time and sometimes a second job, yet still feel they cannot make ends meet. The consequences are severe, both financially and emotionally. It affects mood and quality of life and can create considerable tension at home, affecting everything from raising children and relationships to work performance and more.

Managing family or business money well is not a given, and sometimes professional help makes all the difference. Here is what is important to know about financial advice and choosing a suitable advisor.

Changing financial habits

Sometimes a fundamental change in financial behavior and habits can produce a shift that brings emotional and financial well-being. Such a change is not easy, and many people feel it is "too much for them." They struggle to read the fine print on monthly bills, find dealing with the bank confusing, feel paralyzed by numerous expenses and see no way out. In this situation, consulting a financial adviser who can help you navigate your finances and stop struggling is well worth considering.

What Is a Financial Adviser?

A financial adviser is an expert in money management. She has extensive knowledge of economics and advising the private and public sectors, and can teach methods for sound financial management and understanding the economic system. Working with a financial adviser suits families, couples, individuals and company or business owners who want to organize their finances.

How Do You Choose a Financial Adviser?

There are many types of advisers, and in Israel anyone who wants to can call themselves a financial adviser. When choosing one, pay attention to several factors:

  1. The adviser has completed substantial academic or professional financial training at a recognized institution. Think about it: someone who studied accounting or business administration knows many aspects of economics, including law and taxation. They have extensive theoretical knowledge and, if admitted to the program, probably also have aptitude in the field.
  2. Professional training is important but insufficient. The financial adviser should also have proven experience in financial consulting. If she has worked at a bank, large company or financial institution, that is a good sign she has gained experience and practical knowledge.
  3. A financial adviser who makes you feel comfortable. Entering financial counseling is an intimate and challenging undertaking. To commit successfully to such a process, choose an adviser you feel comfortable with, trust and feel encourages you to change and motivates you to succeed and face the challenges it brings.
