Can anybody recommend a financial counselor?

Specifically, someone affordable who can help me reorganize my portfolio? I've been doing it myself but I now want a pro's advice. Someone in the area so I can meet in person and not just over the phone. Also, not a scary, gruff person. Thanks!

Based downtown Manhattan, Stacy Francis is really good.

And no, I'm not her, or in any way affiliated........

Stacy Francis is very good (she spoke at an event I threw years ago). However, I think you might have to have a minimum portfolio for her to work with you (don't take my word for it, though).

You also may want to check into working with Galia Gichon at:
http://www.downtoearthfinance.com/ She also spoke at one of my events and I ended up hiring her as my financial planner. She is quite reasonable in terms of price.

Good luck!

What are these events?

I was the (volunteer) Executive Director of the NY chapter of an online international women's organization (list-serve) and would have quarterly events for my members with panelists, networking, and gift bags. I resigned 2 years ago after 5 years of leading the group (it was too much work with my full-time job) and the company has since folded.
