The office is very professional and located in a high rise in SF downtown. Farshad is extremely nice and helpful. He took my job and completed in a week. Highly recommend Farshad for tax services.

I was told specifically by the small business department who I spoke to on the phone to go into the…read morebranch and ask for a specific form. The employee at this branch questioned me about what I was told several times and was insisting that I should be able to accomplish what I need to accomplish online even though I explained that I already tried it with the representative who I spoke with on the phone. Because I started getting annoyed after being questioned and doubted several times about the information I had provided, a senior employee decided that it was appropriate for him to come out and defend the other employee who it turns out is new. I'm sorry but if you're a new employee and your customer is telling you something that they're not able to accomplish online because that is exactly what the online rep told them then maybe instead of continuing to question and doubt the customer you should pick up the phone and call someone and inquire about a process that you are unfamiliar with. So instead this senior employee decided to say that I was the one that was being unreasonable. I will never go into this branch again I will not be treated that way and I recommend you don't either.. perhaps training your new employees more appropriately would have been the better way to handle this rather than taking it out on the customer. Pathetic excuse for any type of customer service.

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

Andrei Jigalin of Alpha Wealth Management is a certified financial planner (CFP). The world is…read morethick with them. Why Andrei? I'm not a money guy. I don't read Forbes for fun. 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.

We were partially at fault for not checking and rechecking how much we were going to be billed. She sent a pre-meeting form to be filled out. When we filled it out, she asked if we wanted her to look at it. I said yes. When I did that, I was, in effect authorizing her to charge us for looking at the form that she asked us to fill out. What we really should have done is ask her to ONLY look at our finances during the 1 hour meeting we had, NOT ask for a follow up to our meeting and state clearly that we could only afford to pay for 1 hour. Her fee of $900 is way morre than what we will make on the interest on the money we are investing. Lesson learned. For you, make sure the billing is SUPER clear and repeat your budget before any meeting or email. Other than that, she is super nice and very skilled.
