The Financial Planning Association’s Ask an Expert Week begins today.

The national campaign aims to put more consumers in touch with qualified financial advisers.

“Only one in three Australians say they know where to find a financial adviser they can trust, according to our research,” CEO Mark Rantall said.

“This number is even smaller among low-income households, which often stand to benefit the most from financial planning advice.”

Mr Rantall says the drive is designed to “provide a bridge between consumers and financial advisers who are professionally certified and bound by a code of professional conduct”.
