Probably as important as the quality of the adviser is their fee structure. For a lot of these questions, I believe you want a fee-only advisor, whose compensation is strictly an hourly rate and not based on commissions or assets under management. E.g.: for an unbiased answer to “donate now vs. invest and donate later,” you don’t want your advisor to have a financial interest in one of the outcomes!
