If I could give Score a rating of less than one star I would have done so. First if all they are…read morecomplete waste if your time and it takes a very long time for a so called mentor to answer your requests and reply to you. Second they send you a phony template and ask you several questions that are very vague and general questions. After I spent many hours of answering those questions they gave me phony excuses and rejected my answers even after I revised them so many times and then they lied to me in many occasions by accusing me not to answer those questions. They are very dishonest,corrupt, careless and complete waste if your time and money. Trust me they are there to completely waste your time and hard work. Stay as far as you can from this organization. They are complete scam and fraud. Be very careful.

George brings a wealth of knowledge, professionalism, and a genuine desire to help others succeed. From our very first meeting, George took the time to understand my goals and challenges.

He offered invaluable insights, practical advice, and resources that were directly applicable to my needs especially as he introduced me to AI. What stood out most was George's persistence, patience and encouragement. He created a supportive environment that allowed me to feel confident in exploring new ideas and making informed decisions.

You will always learn something new on every session with her. Crystal is an amazing person overall and it's been such a pleasure having her in my corner as a business coach.

I had a complicated tax situation in 2025 involving multiple streams of income (1099, W2, 401k…read moreconversion, etc) and though I made quarterly payments, I knew I was going to need an expert to help minimize my tax bill. I learned about EAs from a community whatsapp and went in search of one. After looking for several weeks and reaching out to a few, it was Phuong's rapid response (by email and phone) and his kind demeanor that helped make my decision. Overall, working with Phuong was straightforward. After agreeing on an estimated cost, Phuong invited me to a secure portal to upload all of my documents. Alongside, Phuong provided a checklist to help guide all of the files/info that you should consider uploading. This was very efficient and helped expedite the process. From beginning to end, it took only a few weeks. It would've gone much faster, but I was delayed in uploading documents, so I caused the delay. Alongside, Phuong answered one-off questions as needed and quickly. And I had a lot of questions! But Phuong was always willing to help. The best part? Phuong confirmed I was actually owed a refund. I was stunned. Is there any better result than that? Of course, this means my quarterly payments were on target, but I'm not sure I would've reached the same result on my own. I can't recommend Phuong enough. He was fast, friendly and importantly, secure. I am certain I will be working with Phuong for all of my tax needs moving forward. Thank you Phuong!!

Phuong was a professional throughout the entirety of the process and guided me through calculating and the actual process of paying off quarterly taxes with patience and kindness. He also gave me an estimate of the price before conducting the service and was very transparent. Highly recommend if you are starting your own business!

I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

What the feng? This lady puts the shui in my life's feng shui. I've used previous feng shui…read moreconsultants before her but she was the one who resonated with me the most. The amount of time that she takes to analyze and speak to you about your life and goals are priceless beads of information that she will discuss in your consulatation. Since I consulted with Sasha Lee in 2015 for my parents' home, she mirrored a lot of my concerns about that house. We set up a plan of action then that got me results, so when I changed residence, I knew I needed to consult with her again. She brought Finola with her again (on a crazy rainy and windy day!!) and they analyzed my home...asked me what my goals were and what problems may occur...and gave suggestions. Listening to these wonderful ladies and their suggestions, kept my head busy as far as the short term and long term goals and plans. Don't get me wrong, there is no magic wand that can zap away life's issues. However, if there was some sort of insight you could receive in improving your life's circumstances, why not try feng shui? There are some things you'd have to invest in such as self motivation, being open minded, time, money, and patience to see results. But if you're looking to try classical feng shui...because there is a difference between Western and Classical and I have tried both (I'd go with Classical personally), do an in person consult with her. I have tried to wing it myself and she pointed out on our very first meeting that I probably had a rough month since I placed my fountain in the wrong area...she was right. =) Sometimes there are things in life you can't change and other things you can. Why not change the things that you have control over?

I was first referred to Sasha back in January of 2017 upon the recommendation of my acupuncturist…read more I was in a life transition, nothing seemed to be working out, I felt blocked. I scheduled an appointment with Sasha for BaZi, Chinese astrology. The session was not only eye opening, but confirmed some things I suspected about myself. She gave me information about my past, my future path, characteristics unique to me, areas to focus on, and more. I found her to be approachable and extremely knowledgeable about BaZi and Feng Shui as well. She gave me "homework", which I followed diligently! To say that it was life changing would be an understatement! Months later, I was finding that my apartment just did not feel right. Something was off, some things dissatisfying. So I called Sasha to schedule a classical Feng Shui session. She now only worked with what she knew about me from our BaZi session, but did Feng Shui on my apartment itself, and it revealed amazing information about where I live. As it turns out, it is a great place for me to be. She spent 3 hours with me, focusing on auspicious areas and how to best use them for their intended Feng Shui purposes. I received concrete and user-friendly ideas on furniture placement , decorating, and how to maximize the potential I have here. I have found Sasha to be an expert in her field, and an incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic practitioner. She is so friendly and approachable, and I have the utmost respect for her. I see how diligent her practice is, and how much she loves what she does. I look forward to working with her every year!
