    A few years ago, after receiving an inheritance, I spent a great deal of time researching and…read moreinterviewing fiduciary financial planners. Since we had never needed one before, my husband and I wanted to be sure we were making thoughtful decisions for our future. We ultimately chose Patrick, and we couldn't be happier with that decision. His focus on sustainable investing made him stand out even more and aligned well with our values. Patrick is not only highly knowledgeable and professional, but also approachable, thoughtful, and easy to talk with. Nearly three years later, we remain extremely pleased with both his guidance and the results. The addition of Rachel Strong to the team has been another positive development. She has been wonderful to work with as well, and together they provide outstanding service and support.

We needed someone we could trust, that can help organize our finances, set up some estate planning, and overall improve our financial literacy. We're so happy to have found Impact Fiduciary and to work with Chris whose always made sure we are set up for success. He's extremely knowledgable and patient in walking us through what financial decisions need to be made, and exactly what we sign up for as we look into certain investments. He's great at keeping up with us, even when we tend to lose sight of our goals or meetings. We've been fortunate to see a lot of growth after working with Chris, and it's assuring knowing we're investing with those who have similar values as us. Looking forward to working with them for years to come!

    I opened 4 accounts at Fidelity at the end of July 2025, transferring about $4M of funds from…read moreSchwab. A reason I did this was Fidelity's promotion. I got a $2,000 promotion bonus for transferring these funds. I expected competent brokerage services from Fidelity, On 11/10/25, my accounts were hacked. A WROS account was added for someone from Idaho, along with an attempt to transfer $45K from another account's money market funds. In response to this attack, Fidelity closed my accounts & opened new ones. As far as I know, Fidelity did nothing to refer the scammer whose name and address were on the scam account to the police or FBI. I hired an IT professional & began doing everything recommended: Changing passwords on all financial & email accounts, adding & replacing "authenticators" &/or "two-factor authentications" on all financial/email accounts, checking and deleting any hacker-added filters to my email accounts, etc. On 11/14/25, before I could even complete all these recommended security measures, another Fidelity hack occurred. In response, Fidelity overreacted, not only closing my then existing accounts, it locked me out of all of them, demanding a phone call. In that phone call with two Fidelity reps, I was bullied, reprimanded, and threatened that if I did not say the words "I promise to professionally clean all devices," & actually have this done to Fidelity's satisfaction, I would not be given access to any Fidelity accounts. You know, the accounts with MY MONEY in them. The accounts I told the Fidelity reps I had already taken steps to protect, & was in the process of taking further steps, when the 2nd attack happened and Fidelity locked me out and prevented me from completing more protective steps. I don't know if Fidelity reps talk to all its customers this way, or just to women, just to any customer who's only got $4M in assets deposited with them, but it's clearly inappropriate. I responded with my own threat, that if Fidelity didn't want me as a customer, there were plenty of other brokerages, & I was sure I could find another brokerage which would value me as a customer. The Fidelity rep then restored my access to my newly created accounts. But frankly, at that point, the damage had been done & I was fed up with Fidelity. I continued to experience this sub-par & even offensive & discriminatory service til May of 2026, when I was still getting statements for the closed & fraudulent accounts even though six mos. had gone by since the two ID theft incidents occurred. Fidelity was unable/unwilling to close the fraudulent/hacked accounts. After ~6 months of Fidelity not managing to reconcile and close the fraudulent/hacked accounts, I called on 5/1/26 & spoke with a "retirement" rep to ask why I was still getting statements for the fraudulent WROS account which still had a $-.05 balance, going on 5+ mos. at this point. I spent an hour & 12 minutes on the phone with this person, who put me on hold repeatedly while trying to get answers. He told me the following nonsense: 1) "Fidelity doesn't close accounts" (obviously false) 2) I could "hide" this statement online (actually not possible); 3) the only way to close this account with a negative $.05 balance was to transfer $.05 from another account (?!?!?); and 4) the reason this account could have a negative balance is because "of a dividend coming in after transfer." He kept repeating this "dividend" BS, & the final time he returned from a long hold, said "we're going to close your account, but I can't tell you when or how." A few minutes later I got a call from (817) 722-9727 and was told the account had been removed & I would no longer see it displayed on my Fidelity page. This was true: the scam WROS account had finally been removed, proving the guy who kept me on the phone for an hour & 12 minutes spewing falsities had completely wasted my time. Infuriated, I then sent Fidelity a message, attaching my 3/26 statement for the WTOS account with a balance of $-.05 documenting this fiasco. Six days later on 5/7, "Tracie C." responded, acknowledging Fidelity's inappropriate threats and incompetence. She wrote "The fraudulent Joint account opened on 11/10/25, and the additional fraudulent login on 11/17/25, indicated security concerns with your device. To further protect your accounts, Fidelity asked that you have your device professionally cleaned to ensure there is no malware active on it. The fraudulent Joint account was removed from your profile on 4/30/26, after your phone call with our representative was further escalated with our Fraud team. We truly apologize for the frustration and inconvenience caused by this phone call and assure you that the relevant parties have received feedback to prevent similar situations in the future." Again, I was not "asked," I was threatened. Again, the scam account wasn't removed after 5 months or on 4/30. It took 6 mos. & a protracted call with a rep who gaslit me for over an hour.
