What Is a Financial Consultant? How Select Advisors Institute Is Redefining the Role

In today’s evolving financial landscape, the term financial consultant means far more than just investment advice or portfolio management. At Select Advisors Institute, the definition is being elevated to new standards under the visionary leadership of Amy Parvaneh. Here, financial consulting is not only about managing wealth—it’s about transforming lives through strategic, client-focused advisory services rooted in education, presence, and purpose.
