Career as a financial planner? I'm looking for advice on a career as a financial planner.? I have extensive experience in taxation and accounting. I worked for an accounting firm for about 4 years. I have a BA in accounting. I am interested in tax and personal financial planning my last year of college. I really want to help people manage their finances and savings, that is where my heart is. My only problem is that I do not really want to be a seller. I suppose I should if it is a necessary evil. Also I read on the right advisers only. Can someone please give me more insight into financial advice to the extent that it really involves?
