Financial Adviser or Financial Advisor in Singapore?

I often get asked by new hires why we spell Adviser with an "E". This is in fact the correct English spelling.

Advisor, with an "O" is the American version.

The vast majority of people will naturally spell adviser with an O, and if you Google "Advisor" you get about 4 times as many hits as with "Adviser".

I suppose then if you are British and want to be correct you would use Adviser, but if you want more web traffic you will sucumb to the American influence and use Advisor.

The term is also interchangeable with IFA which I explain here

Whichever you are looking for Meyado has advisers and advisors in abundance available to help.
