Financial Coach or a Financial Adviser?
The difference between an adviser and coach is like the difference between a specialist and a GP. The specialist can provide expert advice in relation to a particular issue, but they usually refer you back to your GP for day-to-day issues. In the same way, a Financial Adviser can provide advice on major decisions, like where to invest your money, but it’s your Financial Coach that will work with you on the practical steps, like saving money, changing your insurance or setting up a will.
You might not initially need specialist advice, you might just need to understand your options or build skills and knowledge which help you improve your situation. And when, or if it’s appropriate, a Financial Coach can help you identify when it’s time to call in the specialist. Advice SA’s Financial Coaches and Advisers work together, and both are focused on helping you to improve your overall financial wellbeing.
