WARNING – Finding a GOOD financial advisor is HARD!
Finding a financial advisor is easy.
They are everywhere these days. Big Financial is cranking them out. Big financial is using lots of marketing hype to get into your wallet. And most of the time, it’s for their profit, not yours.
Just Google “financial advisor near me” or “financial planning near me” or “certified financial planner near me” or even “fiduciary financial advisor near me.” You are sure to get a bewildering number of hits.
But finding a qualified fiduciary you should trust can be hard.
- Do you want a no-commission, independent fee-only certified financial planner?
- Are you looking for the best financial advisors in Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, and Fleming Island?
- What qualifications should you look for? What red flags can help you dodge a bullet?
Get this right, and your financial future and retirement can be very bright. According to Vanguard, a good advisor can add about 3% to your annual returns. That could mean a difference of millions more in family wealth.
Make the wrong choice, and you face some big risks. Like seeing your wealth evaporate to high, hidden fees, big sales commissions and major losses from bad advice.
It can be harder than you think to find a no-commission fiduciary who has to put you first. So, if searching for CFP near me, consider this. According to Barron’s about 49% of advisors work on commissions only. Another 43% take both sales commissions and fiduciary fees. It can be hard to tell what hat they’re wearing, and what you’re really paying. A financial consultant may say “I’m a fee-based fiduciary.” But fee based really means fees and commissions. They probably won’t tell you “I will also try to sell you commission products after I have your trust.”
Less than 9% of advisors are true fee-only fiduciaries. Your odds of not getting a real fiduciary financial planner are worse than 9 to 1. Those are terrible odds. It means nearly every advisor is legally free to put their own compensation ahead of protecting your interests. And that can be very hazardous to your wealth.
You have to be careful. On the surface every personal financial advisor can make it seem like they’re a real, full time financial fiduciary. But remember! Over 90% of financial advisors are not!
Camarda doesn’t play that game.
- Real-deal fiduciary, never a commission
- No hidden fees, costs, charges or penalties
- Custom portfolios and financial planning
- Ongoing proactive contact and service
- Dedicated Personal Wealth Advisor knows you and your family
- No long-term contracts – leave anytime without cost or penalty
Find the right advisor & change your life!
Be smart! Few advisors have advanced training, and 91% can take commissions and not put you first. Hardly any – less than 0.2% – make the Barron’s Top Advisor grade. There’s a reason! Demand better to get better and supercharge your future.

What to Look For in Financial Consultant & Financial Advisor Training
Financial planning done right is complex. Really complex. Every bit as complicated as medicine or law. Unfortunately, medical or law school is not required for advisors!
Worse, most advisors have no more training besides than the few weeks needed to get a basic government license.
Would you trust your family’s health care to a doctor with just a sales license and no background in medicine? Of course not!
Don’t take that risk with your wealth care! Don’t get shortchanged! Insist on all of the following factors in a quality advisor. It may seem like a lot, but you have a lot on the line. And you typically will pay no more – and sometimes lots less – for an advisor with all of the factors you need to do your family wealth right. Make sure they check every box!

WARNING! A Recommended Financial Advisor May Have Dangerous Red Flags
- Advisor referral networks typically sell your information to multiple advisors as sales leads
- Advisors are often “fee-based” – meaning they may take hard-to-spot sales commissions that can be toxic to your wealth
- CFP Board-blessed Certified Financial Planner CFP® referrals may conceal red flags like fines, complaints, suspensions, even felonies!
- Over 91% of advisors can take commissions – even if they promise they’re a fiduciary!
- About 90% of advisors lack even the generalist CFP, and over 95.5% lack the investment specialist CFA®
Buyer Beware...
or Advice You Can Trust?
The majority of advisors are “glorified salespeople” with only basic licenses.
Does the advisor you have or are considering check all the boxes you need to safely protect and grow your wealth? Request our free assessment, and we’ll run an advisor stress test at no charge:
- Are you being overcharged?
- Are they licensed to take investment or annuity commissions?
- Are you at risk of theft or abuse?
- Do they have a record of fines, crimes, suspensions, complaints or client settlements?
- Could unprofessional advice damage your wealth?
- Do they lack expert financial, tax and investments training?
- Are they too new? Just getting started learning the trade?
- Are they properly experienced and seasoned by several bear markets?
- Will you pay extra commissions to justify signing bonuses?
- Do they have a stable job record, or are they bonus-chasing job hoppers?
