Never sold a phone before and people say I’m wasting my money by just keeping them in a draw (I still have my original iPhone from 2008).

Long story short, I’m a CPA so I have texts, photos, documents, etc.. that shouldn’t be seen by anyone but me on my phone. How do I make sure this information can NEVER be seen by anyone else who I sell it to? Is it really as simple as just clicking erase all content and settings and handing it over? I keep reading that there are programs out there...
