But, as CEO of the country's largest provider of workplace financial wellness programs, author Liz Davidson has seen firsthand how that seemingly smart decision can go awry. Why? Because you can never blindly trust that your advisor has your best interests at heart.

How should you decide if you really need an advisor? What financial moves can you make on your own? What questions should you ask before trusting an advisor with your money?
