If you are looking for an hourly or project based financial planner in your area, a great resource to check out is a list compiled by William Baldwin, former Editor of Forbes Magazine from 1999 to 2010 and frequent Forbes contributor on all things personal finance and investing.

As Baldwin points out, most of the country’s 300,000 financial advisors get paid via commissions on products they sell to consumers (e.g., life insurance and annuities) or alternatively as an annual percentage of the assets they manage.

There aren’t many advisors who get paid on an hourly or project basis but we are growing.
