I recently look a class on business and it mentioned to look into a financial/wealth coach, so I…read moregoogled and San Diego Wealth caught my attention. And I am so glad it did. I did my first intake session with Cory and he was a lot of help. I've been nervous to look into any kind of financial advisor, but he made me feel safe and understood. The approach is different than anything I have heard, googled or read. I was given advice, resources and strange enough, compassion. The things that are essential when it comes to money and finances but often forgotten. Along with this, Cory has much intelligence and knowledge yet is very humble and down to earth. I want to recommend him and San Diego Wealth to anyone interested, even if its the beginning stages of curiosity. They can help lead and guide to what is best for you. I would recommend just reach out, ask questions, and let them take it from there. Thank you Cory/San Diego Wealth!

When my husband and I got married we knew we differed in our perspectives and experiences regarding…read moremoney! And, when we did speak about money matters we agreed that our conversations weren't that pleasant! Eventually, we felt like instead of treading water between ourselves, it would be prudent to work with a financial advisor who could support us in navigating our financial conversations and working towards our goals. We reached out to Cory and his team because of their long standing presence in San Diego and because we had known Cory personally for some time. Our planning conversations with Cory and Aries are always open and honest - my husband and I both feel we can express ourselves and be heard (without getting heated!), despite our differences. My husband thinks more short term and I think more long term, and Aries is able to strike a balance in our approaches with his feedback, guidance and vision. We are so grateful for the team at SD Wealth and the effort, time and energy they put into supporting us.

Whether you are a financially sophisticated gazillionaire running a web of companies from your…read moremegayacht or the kind of person who goes to the ATM to see if they have any money, you need a financial advisor. But not just any financial advisor. You need Keith Paglierani. Keith will grasp all the details while staying focused on the big picture. Even if you have everything figured out, he'll have a few more ideas for you and see at least one issue and a solution you missed. And if something financially major suddenly happens (say you win the lottery or lose a job), you can pick up the phone any time, and Keith will be there for you with great advice based on rigorous analysis. Always delivered straight but with kindness. I met Keith when he did an analysis and financial plan for a relative who asked me to tag along as the financial version of a medical advocate. I was so impressed by Keith that I hired him as my advisor. I've worked with him for nearly five years now and have referred him to friends. Two other reasons I feel so good recommending Keith - Having shopped for advisors, I feel confident that his fee schedule represents the best value in financial advice you will find. - Because Keith has a group of support people around him, he can deal with lots of data, fast. A couple of times, I've buried him in paper, thinking it would be a couple of weeks before I'd get anything back, and each time he'd been back in touch in a day or two with great thoughts based on close analysis. Keith is money. Literally.

Jan and Karen have been our advisors since 2005 and we loove them! They are like friends to us…read more Ameriprise is known to be expensive, but they really help us out and never pressure us into doing things we don't want to do. They saved us from losing lots of money during the downturn in the economy. To me, they are worth every penny to make sure our investments are on track and to keep me from stressing about it all. I was originally referred to Ameriprise by a friend. His advisor was a family friend, so I trusted him. I was with him for about a year before I moved out here. My old advisor referred me to someone here in San Diego who would not return my calls or emails, so I was about to give up on Ameriprise. Then, I was referred to Jan Pretorius. I made an appointment and went in to visit him at the La Jolla branch. I then discovered he had a partner with him, Karen Purvis. He likes to take care of retirement and 401 (k) stuff and she likes to take care of expenses, insurances, your financial goals, etc. Eventually, they moved out into their own office at the Morena Blvd location. They acquired a paraplanner, Tracy, who is just as great. When we go in for our twice a year meetings, we are greeted by name and everyone is super friendly. During our visits, we track our spending and savings, mostly with Karen. We focus on how on track we are with our goals and talk about making changes if needed. Jan will then talk about the market and our 401 (k) and changes he's wanting to make, etc. I love not having to deal with all that! They've even made calls to try and help us out with things during our meetings and put the call on speaker phone for us to hear. Every once in a while, they will try to sell us the idea of something new, like life insurance. But, in the end, it is all our decision and have never ONCE felt pressured by them. I'll admit, we've gone against their recommendation before. They return all emails and calls usually in the same day. This office is very personable. They send us chocolate for Christmas, they sent us a wedding gift off our registery, and they call us for our birthdays. Seriously, I couldn't imagine using anyone else as our financial advisors. Based on other reviews of Ameriprise, it all depends on who you get as an advisor. We got lucky. They do a terrific job and anyone interested should call them up for a free consultation.

I contacted Brian through Yelp a couple weeks ago and made it VERY clear from the beginning I was…read morelooking for a quote for tax filing/preparation only for this year. My initial message: "Hi Brian, I am just looking for a quote for 2023 tax filing, not to actually start it yet. We will be needing help on a couple of tax situations this year." His exact response: "Understood. I will provide a quote for 2023 during our call. I just sent the questionnaire." He then emailed me the questionnaire; I put I was interested in "Individual taxes" and sent it back to him, I NEVER put I was interested in Investment management or any other kind of financial services. So he knew this whole time I only wanted tax preparation. He still proceeded to call me today and asked a few questions related to our tax situation. Then at the end of the call he asked if I was looking for someone to manage our investments, I said not at this point...we are only looking for tax preparation now. His tone completely changed and he abruptly told me in a condescending manner we are not a good fit because they are saturated with tax preparation clients and he's looking for clients who want investment management. I was pretty shocked at the change in his tone and his annoyance once I told him I didn't need someone to manage our investments. Again, I made it VERY clear from the start I was looking for tax preparation services only from my initial message AND the questionnaire he had me fill out. I honestly don't know why he still called and was rude when he knew he couldn't take on any more clients who only wanted tax filing.

I had been a client with the original accounting firm (Peterson and Co) for 25 years which…read moreeventually has now become Baker Tillly through a couple of acquisitions. After my accountant (Rick Evans) retired two years ago I had been getting subpar tax return services from Baker Tillly. I stuck with them for another year, hoping things would improve, but they did not and I decided to move on with another accounting firm. When Baker Tillly prepared my 2024 tax return I was not happy with it at all and I told them I did not want to file it because they did not do what I asked them to do in terms of deductions. They agreed that they didn't heed my deduction requests but insisted that I still pay them in full, even though I rejected their tax return. After much negotiation, we ended up settling on a 50% payment which came out to $3700 (still exorbitant IMHO - this firm has doubled its fees while providing inferior service compared to 2 years ago). Happy to move on from this terrible, bloated accounting firm that does not focus on customer and client happiness. But I'm also chagrined that my relationship with this accounting firm has come to an end after 25 years. I did not make this decision lightly and I would not recommend Baker Tillly to my professional colleagues.
