I have had a financial advisor for a while now. (Did and does handle my dad as well.)

Costs a bit of money but he probably does some things with his brokerage's computers that I don't have easy access to and, with one exception, I've consolidated a number of accounts to him--a couple of which I barely looked at. He's also good as a sounding board. I'll sometimes push back if I have a slightly different view of risk/return for some things but I mostly take his advice both for managed accounts and one I directly control at a different brokerage.
