Taxes, insurance, retirement income strategies, estate planning, and constantly changing regulations all influence whether a financial plan actually works.At the same time, technology has made investing easier and cheaper than ever before. Apps promise instant portfolios. Online tools claim to replace advisors entirely.So the question many people are asking is: Do you really need a financial advisor anymore?This week on Inside Northwest Columbus, we’re talking with Nathan Daugherty of NDF Financial Advisors, who explains how the role of a financial advisor has evolved — and why modern financial planning is about far more than picking investments.We explore how technology is transforming financial planning, why the most important value an advisor provides today is seeing the whole picture, and how working with a professional can help individuals and families make smarter decisions at every stage of life.If you've ever wondered whether you're making the right financial decisions — or whether you're missing something important — this conversation is for you.Nathan Daugherty, CFP®NDF Financial AdvisorsNathan leads his advisory team based in Dublin and has more than 15 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate complex financial decisions.
