Where can I find a financial adviser whose main business is not selling insurance?

I am 64 and own my own small business. How do I find someone who is paid by the hour and has a deep and broad understanding of estate planning, when to start taking Social Security, etc, etc. I have heard that most "financial advisors" make money by selling insurance policies. I have nothing against insurancy policies but I want someone whose income is dependent on his real skills. Is there such a thing as a National Certified Financial Advisor association?
