Do finance consultants travel a lot? (2024)

Yes, finance consultants travel a lot. Consultants tend to travel a lot and experience extended time away from home. This is true whether working at a large firm or as an independent contractor.

Financial consultants work hard to offer personalized advice to help investors build wealth. They may offer financial planning, identify well-suited investments and guide insurance decisions. They often direct the buying and selling of investments, like stocks and bonds, on their clients' behalf. Some may also sell financial products.

It is because of this very specialized service that financial consultants must work hard to stay up to date on all these products and services and also be there around the clock to help their clients in times of financial distress.

Most consultants typically working in large firms will fly throughout the week, sometimes leaving early Monday morning and flying back late in the evening on Friday each week. This schedule makes it difficult for those with families.
