I called 5 times in one hour trying to get through to someone from 11am-12pm. When I left I forgot to ask a question and I sat outside your locked door pushing the button for 5 min and wasn't able to even get back in. Like I said. Terrible service. Had someone answered the phone I could have turned around and went elsewhere.

In the course of my work, I feel like I've met at least 163 financial advisors. I chose to invest…read moremy own retirement funds with Scott Stanley at Pharos for several reasons. First and foremost, his returns on the investments he manages for me are outstanding. In the last 6 months, I've earned significantly more than I earned all last year and I'm amazed at my increases! Second, his customer service is perfection. He responds immediately to any call or email I make. No matter how I mangle my tax situation, he helps right my wrongs with complete graciousness and patience. Scott has already had me in for 2 account reviews, so I know he's monitoring my accounts closely. And he shows me in person what is going on with my investments directly and in a timely manner. Yayaaayyyy. Third, what I greatly appreciate about Scott is that he is approachable. I don't have millions to invest, or even hundreds of thousands, and I find those expensive-suit-and-tie-with-an-expensive-top-floor-office guys intimidating to the extreme. Scott is down to earth and easy to talk to, and I'm not scared to call him when I have something to discuss. I'm relieved and delighted to have such a diligent advisor working on my behalf!

Today, we still reference learnings and information shared by Faruk to help influence any financial decisions we may or will make. 100% would recommend Faruk to any family looking to understand their finances.

The service my family received at the Larkspur office of Fidelity stands out for its kindness and efficiency. I would like to particularly commend Gustavo Sanchez for his skillful handling of the transfer and retitling of accounts. When other firms clung to arcane and obsolete procedures (I'm looking at you, Columbia Threadneedle, with your insistence on Medallion Signature Guarantees), Gustavo unerringly completed and submitted their paperwork as well. At a difficult time, the people in this office were extraordinarily helpful.

It feels like a huge weight has been lifted now that we have everything in place -- life insurance, a trust, and all of our investments managed together in one portfolio that actually fits our goals. We recently welcomed a baby girl, and it brings us peace of mind knowing she'll be taken care of if anything ever happens to us. The Alpha Wealth team has been incredibly patient and kind, giving us gentle reminders to get paperwork in when life got busy. They were quick to respond whenever we needed something, even same-day tax documents, and were so understanding when we made mistakes, always helping us find solutions. It's obvious they truly care about their clients and take pride in what they do. We can't recommend Alpha Wealth Management enough to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, professional financial guidance

For my financial planner, I need someone I can trust without thoroughly understanding all the ins and outs, all the back story behind various investment strategies. I need someone who is patient and can speak plainly and clearly to me about the reasons for one strategy over another and the ramifications of any plan and guide me to the wisest choice. In short, I need Andrei. I have known Andrei for years, and during that time have often been impressed with his professionalism, his know-how, and his kind, patient, and friendly manner. Listening to his presentations before various groups has further nurtured my confidence. Now I have invested some of my retirement funds with Andrei, and plan to increase my investment over the next several years. I know that is one of the smartest financial decisions I have ever made.

I used to be locked into a dysfunctional relationship with a tax preparer who embodied everything…read moreyou wouldn't want your tax preparer to be: late, non-responsive, foggy-headed, and sometimes flat-out wrong. Why it took me so many years to break away is a question for my therapist. When I finally decided to go to a REAL professional I found myself here, in the amazingly capable hands of Jackie Thomson. It was like the storm broke, the Jesus rays shone down from the heavens, the sky cleared, and it was a cloudless-still-74-degree-day. And that's the way it's been ever since. Hallelujah. Jackie answers e-mail in a flash, gets the job done on time, exhibits work ethic excellence, is reliable, trustworthy, organized, and timely. Basically, she's the consummate professional and I'm left looking for her replica in every other service business I patronize. So, there you have it. Why you'd go anywhere else can remain your little secret but once you switch to Jackie (and Anspach) you'll want to blab it all over the place just like me.

They seem nice the one year we worked with them but in the past we have never had to pay both State and Fed... this group has no clue how to work any kind of tax law that will get you benefits and they charge 2xs as much as other offices. They would not see us in person because they were "too busy". But my sister in law called the same day and ( and it's not even St. Patrick's day in March) got an appointment within the same week.... they play favorites and if you are new and don't have more than 3 apartment buildings and lots of money you are a poor s-o-b who they don't have time for. Plus did I say we only worked with them through emails last year because they "didn't have time" to see us in person and never really got us as clients - they just charged over priced cost $$$$ and we had to pay for the first time in a long time where I don't think we had to. Save ur money and find someone who will work with you personally - these people suck! They are jerks over the phone and will not even let you talk to the person you want to talk to! They suck!!!!

She doesn't take clients unless it's a referral. I think because it's a lot of work and a large commitment. She charges accordingly but in our case that we have many years of back taxes it's worth the money. Peace of mind is priceless... I appreciate that she can handle stress on another super human level. Her mind is sharp, she has a special talent, I believe she was born with a special brain, and has a gift, to crunch numbers, handle red tape, IRS, deadlines and take clients through the daunting road of taxes. Always in a great disposition. She's fearless too. She has no problem going down the rabbit holes and making calls and inquiries. She is an amazing human and a top notch CPA. And someone we can trust with our entire lives on the table. If you have work to do with an accountant you really need to feel heard and be able to trust that person. It's an intimate process. No judgement. You shouldn't ever feel ashamed. We are all human. And taxes aren't something natural to any normal human being. So to find a wonderful person that can make this process smoother.
