Of course there are but this is the SMB where all views are at the extreme end of the spectrum.

I've only known one financial adviser on a personal basis
He was a fraud and a charlatan who was in it for as much as he could get
He went belly up leaving angry customers and creditors to fend for themselves
I'm sure there are good advisors out there but how do you tell one from the next?

How about asking to speak to a couple of their existing clients/view client testimonials to obtain client views on the IFAs services?

You're absolutely right but how many people are actually knowledgeable enough to look through all of that and make a reasoned assessment?
Most companies will provide a raft of information on their services which, as you may already know, merely serves as a smoke screen at best, or a cunning hiding place for the bad stuff.

From my experience first impressions are huge when meeting anyone you do business with and then being able to have an on-going trust in them. Our industry is no different really. There is always a certain level of due diligence you can do on a company or an individual and there is also enough info out there to do a certain amount of research on whatever product it is you are looking for but ultimately it will come down to whether or not you like the person you deal with most of the time. With financial advisers the initial consultation is almost always free and if you dont like what you see you can walk away.
