You always hear people say "if you are really making that kind of money you would have a tax accountant and a financial adviser". And it is said in an all knowing way. I know lots (ok not lots but some) people who have made high 6 figures and low 7 figures for a few years and only one has ever mentioned a financial adviser. I am not even sure what you would expect the guy to do for you? Pick stocks? Pick your mutual funds? Open a money market? Seriously wtf is that all about?

Well, definitely guide your finances, though just be careful- they make money from stocks they refer. Still, they can show you long and short ways to not only manage your money, but have it increase over time, which is the real key. I've had one since I was 17. -

They are only good when you are completely clueless about finances... but that's like 95% of the people in the US, so "financial advisor" business has got to be booming...

I suggest any business using an accountant, however the financial advisor my accountant sent me to didn't really help.... basically you're just paying somebody to tell you shit you should already know. He gave me info on like 10 different places for mutual funds, some info on retirement funds and other things like that but if you're making that kind of bank your best bet is offshore corporations and accounts, NOT using the system here in the US.
My accountant works as an accountant at a major pharmaceutical company around here and he runs all their money through a corporation in Spain simply because trade lows are loose with Spain so it makes the lower taxation over there along with freely flowing money back and forth. The big time shit you'll want to go through Spain but us lil guys can pick an island basically ;)
No way to get an instant 40%+ return other than dodging paying taxes on it....-- QUOTE ME IT MAKES ME FEEL SPECIAL --Comment

I know a couple of financial advisors, what their day mostly comes down to is bellow :
"You see Mr. Honkypecker, buying a 3rd home is NOT a good investment, especially if you're going to buy it on credit, don't intend to live there and don't know much about the real estate market." (all through 2006)
"Cars are very expensive pieces of machinery. They cost a lot to maintain, and while they provide undeniable status symbol benefits, the more traditional way to advertise, mostly preferred by established companies, are ad campaigns and billboard space."
etc etc.
Basically it's holding the hand of the clueless, explaining to them why you don't want to buy stuff you don't need, how to use and when to avoid credit, stuff like that.
And you wouldn't believe it how many people actually benefit from it, and are thankful for it, a few years down the road.Comment

I honestly think you came to the wrong place to ask this question. As I've found out there are more than a fair share of "know-it-alls" in the adult biz - They think that no one in the world is better capable of doing anything than they are.
The idea that a typical person should manage all of their own finances is ridiculous. Now, if you are a stock broker, etc. by trade, fine, but if you're peddling porn you should stick to peddling porn and let an expert do what they do best. Why on earth you'd want to spend your time managing a portfolio, etc. is beyond me.
But hey, that's just my .02Comment

Financial advisor, accountant and insurance agent who specializes in investment vehicles.
I added the financial advisor after talking to my brother (who has a LOT of money), whose financial advisor usually gets him well-over-market returns, but only lost about 2-3 % in the dot-com crash. That convinced me to use HIS guy (who I'm sure only took me on because my brother is a wealthy client lol). Before the market went south recently I was making 8-10% a year, and so far since the "correction" I'm still about even. Works for me
He also consults with my accountant and insurance agent to give his input on what they're doing, and the final "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" on the more exotic and creative plans they come up with. It's worked out very well, so far at least

classic cars are a nice place to put some cash ;) especially when you can buy in person with a suitcase full of cash LOL I've bought quite a few different cars just to do some work on them and flip after driving them for a while.
I like the cheaper ones like when I picked up a '75 vette, did some work on it and sold it for more than twice what I paid 3mnths later after driving it daily all summer.-- QUOTE ME IT MAKES ME FEEL SPECIAL --Comment

More than a financial adviser I would suggest a tax accountant. Someone who specializes in making your 7 figure income look like 6 figures and does it all legal.Comment
