Frequently Asked Questions

Do healthcare professionals need a financial advisor?
Absolutely. Healthcare professionals have high earning potential but also high risk: disability could end a career, student debt is often substantial, and practice ownership creates complex financial obligations. A financial advisor ensures proper risk cover, debt management, and wealth building from early in their career.
How much does a financial advisor for healthcare professionals cost in South Africa?
Financial advisors for healthcare professionals typically charge R2,000–R5,000 for a comprehensive financial plan. Ongoing advisory costs R500–R3,000/month. Some earn commission on insurance products — ensure your advisor has a fiduciary duty to act in your interest.
Can accounting software replace a financial advisor for healthcare professionals?
No. Accounting software manages practice finances. A financial advisor handles personal wealth: disability insurance, retirement planning, investment strategy, and estate planning. These are fundamentally different and both are essential for healthcare professionals.
