Financial advisors for FIRE and early retirement

People pursuing financial independence, retire early (FIRE) often do much of their own planning and want targeted help on specific decisions. Sam's List is a directory where you can compare advisors, including fee-only and hourly options.

Where advisors typically help

Withdrawal-order and tax planning before age 59½, Roth conversion ladders, health insurance before Medicare, Social Security timing, and stress-testing a spending plan against different market scenarios.

Fee models matter

Because FIRE plans are sensitive to costs, many people compare flat-fee, hourly or project-based advisors alongside percentage-of-assets pricing.

How to compare options

  • How the advisor is paid
  • Whether they offer one-time or project-based plans
  • Experience with early-retirement tax strategies
  • Fiduciary status
