re: Hiring a financial adviser............Updated

I've been an advisor for about 15 years. I always get asked that question and it's not uncomfortable. We expect it.

This, and if he does not come out and clearly answer the question...leave. Any advisor that is worth a crap will not be apologetic or bashful about how/what he gets paid. People are willing to pay for something they perceive as value and if the advisor needs to try deflect then he is probably not what you are looking for.
