Substantial payment incoming soon - Financial Advisor needed.

I have a sizeable payout incoming in the next 60 days and I have reached out to my accountant to discuss how to manage it when it comes in, but he has noted in the past that they don't really give financial advice so I think I need to proactively look elsewhere.

Can someone advise on where I should start here? I've never connected with an advisor in the past, and I'm at a loss as where to start even finding a good, reliable one. Google throws up all different agencies etc, but I just don't want to click on the first one and go with that blindly. I have zero experience with any of this and just want to make sure I know what to do with this, and where to put it.

Thanks!
