What to check when hiring financial advisor
Financial Advisors carry significant regulatory and fiduciary obligations — particularly in Australia under the FASEA and subsequent Quality of Advice reforms. Hiring the wrong person creates compliance liability and client harm risk. Verify credentials rigorously, probe for advice quality and ethical standards, and ensure they can communicate complex financial strategies in plain language.
Licensing and authorisation status
Verify that the candidate holds a current AFSL authorisation or is registered as an authorised representative under an AFSL, and that their financial adviser register entry is current and clean. Check ASIC's Financial Advisers Register directly before advancing any candidate.
FDS, opt-in, and best interests duty compliance
Ask how they've managed ongoing fee disclosure, opt-in renewal, and the best interests duty in practice. Advisers who are vague about their compliance processes in an increasingly regulated environment create risk for your licensee.
Advice quality and complexity range
Ask for examples of the most complex advice strategies they've provided — SMSF, business succession, estate planning, complex insurance, or gearing strategies. The range and complexity of their advice history reveals where their genuine expertise sits versus where they're relying on a paraplanner.
Client relationship depth
Ask about their FUA, client count, and average client tenure. Long-term client relationships in a regulated and trust-dependent profession are the strongest signal of genuine quality. Ask specifically about clients who've referred others.
Must-have skills
🚩 Red flags to watch for
ASIC register entry shows conditions, suspensions, or gaps
Cannot explain how they apply the best interests duty to a specific advice scenario
FDS and opt-in compliance described as 'handled by the licensee'
Advice complexity range is narrow — primarily cookie-cutter superannuation advice
No referral relationships — all clients are one-directional
Client tenure is short — high attrition in a relationship-dependent profession
Paraplanner-to-adviser pathways produce technically strong but sometimes client-shy advisers
Advisers who transitioned from paraplanning often have exceptional technical knowledge and SOA quality but can struggle with the relationship and business development aspects of the role early in their advisory career. If you're hiring a junior adviser, this background is generally positive for technical quality — but invest in coaching on client engagement and referral development to unlock the full value.
Interview questions
"Walk me through the most complex financial plan you've prepared. What were the key strategies and how did you demonstrate best interests compliance?"
Advice complexity and compliance integration reveal both capability and professional standards.
"How do you manage your FDS and opt-in renewal process across a book of 100+ clients?"
Operational compliance management is a real-world skill that separates organised advisers from compliance risks.
"Tell me about a time a client's goals conflicted with the advice you believed was appropriate. How did you handle it?"
Best interests duty sometimes requires delivering advice the client doesn't want — this tests ethical backbone.
"How have you adapted your advice process to the Quality of Advice reforms?"
Currency with regulatory change is an ongoing professional obligation — this tests active engagement with the reform agenda.
Ways to hire a financial advisor
Every model has trade-offs. Here's how they compare so you can choose the right fit for your team.
General options
Local full-time
Hire directly in your city. Full cultural alignment and in-office presence, but the talent pool is limited and salaries are high.
Freelancer
Engage on a task or sprint basis. Fast to start, but loyalty is low and availability is never guaranteed long-term.
Dev agency
Hand off a scoped project to an agency. Good for defined deliverables, but you pay a premium and own very little of the relationship.
Via Teamified
Offshore staffing

What Our Clients Say
Trusted by companies worldwide
The flexibility and cultural fit made a huge difference. It wasn't just about filling seats - it was about finding the right people.
Nick Maait
Head of Engineering, Butn
Have a chat with Teamified. You will get a sense that it's much more of a relationship situation where they're really wanting to understand your business, as opposed to a more transactional experience, which is what we found talking with some other providers. The good thing is, there's a team behind you if you pick the right partner to help.
Ryan Ebert
Founder and CEO, Innings
Using Teamified is so much easier. One fee—then they handle all the HR stuff, so you have one less headache as you grow your business. All you want to do is minimise your headaches, and that's what Teamified does.
Ash Brown
Founder and CEO, Empiraa
I encourage all founders to treat this no different than hiring a local resource. The best thing about Teamified? They find great talent, vet them, and give you the flexibility to be as involved as you want in the hiring process.
