I have turned 50 recently and while I feel I am pretty well-placed I want to get the most of the next decade and a bit with a view to maximising both how early and comfortably I can retire.

I want to speak to a financial adviser but have always been spooked by the dubious ethics that seem to (or at least have in the past) underpin much of the sector, such as commissions on particular financial products.

Frankly I know my questions aren't complex, I think I only need a session or two to avoid any potential own goals like unnecessary tax exposure and misdirecting spare income.

Any tips on picking one?
