As a…read morefirst-time small business owner, I was completely overwhelmed by the whole sole proprietorship transition. Gary was incredibly patient, helping me navigate my confusion regarding 'cash basis' accounting and clarifying why my specific contracted work resulted in a W-2 rather than a 1099. ​What impressed me most was his honesty; he explained that my current tax situation is simple enough to handle via software and encouraged me to save money by filing myself this year. He even provided AI-generated notes from our call so I could stay present in the conversation instead of scribbling notes.

If you're looking for an advisor, and considering making contact with Alison... make the call…read more You're going to find a completely approachable and transparent professional, and there's no reason not to explore working together. A good advisor knows how to dig beneath the money and numbers talk into the emotional realm to connect their advice to your goals and what they represent for your well-being. To do this effectively, the advisor needs to care genuinely for the people they are working with. You will understand when working with Alison that she cares - it's so obvious. Her ability to simplify complex financial concepts and provide straightforward advice is truly impressive. She has a smart approach that inspires confidence and trust, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. She makes working with her feel easy and intuitive. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a blend of expertise and personal touch in their financial advisor!

She is a pleasure to work with because she is patient and human, treating work as a relationship and not just a transaction.

In the past week, two people asked me if I would recommend a reliable and honest investment…read moreadviser, so I thought I would write a review for mine. After being a stockbroker for a decade, I learned a lot about investing. On the job training taught me many things. I learned that you have to be confident to trust your investment expert and your investment expert needs to be smart and well versed in the financial markets. Jonathan DeYoe and his team of experts continually earn that confidence from me and my family. For several years, we have been clients of DeYoe Wealth Management. Thank goodness. The team at the firm care about our portfolio as if it was their own. They are on top of things and they keep us connected. Jonathan makes sure to keep us informed of changes in the market that affect our investments. He publishes newsletters that are informative and keeps us in tune with what is going on in the world of finance. We appreciate the expertise and care the DeYoe team provides time and time again. Over the years, we have transferred our Merill Lynch personal account and opened a SEP, two IRAs and a college fund with DeYoe Wealth Management. We took our time to get to know Jonathan and his associates and we are very pleased with our professional relationship. The team at this firm is very knowledgeable and we have been happy with our rate of return and results ... even in a down market. Their choices have outperformed the S&P on a regular basis. Originally I met Jonathan at a business networking meeting (BNI) and he was introduced to me by a mutual friend and client. In the last five years, I have recommended DeYoe Wealth Management to friends and I have heard great feedback from them as well. The DeYoe investment team has a terrific track record and their excellent reputation is well deserved. So if you are confused about all of the financial information you hear on the news and read in the papers, call these guys and ask them to help you understand what is going on and to get you on the right track. They will ... cause that is what they do.

What is consistent is his honesty, sincerity, and transparency in what he does. With all the ugly news of our financial systems running aground due to lack of integrity and greed, Jonathan is a fresh breath of air. Working with Jonathan has been good for me because he's firm, but completely flexible with how he works with me. He's also very passionate about what he does and that passion really shines thru. In addition, the support staff always makes me feel warm and welcomed and part of the DeYoe Family. Jonathan is my defacto Financial Planner.

I highly recommend Ashley from Arete Wealth Strategists…read more http://arete-ws.com/ HE IS HONEST AND CARES ABOUT YOUR INTEREST OVER HIS FEE What I like most about Ashley is his philosophy of prioritizing his client's interest over his. For example, I am aware that at times he has given advice to hold a portion of an investment in cash. In situations where there is a financial assessment that the market is over-valued and waiting for a an adjustment before making a strategic move, it could be very important to have some cash available to make the move. AND most financial advisers would NEVER make that suggestion because they do not earn any money on fund that you hold in cash. Most financial advisers would have you put ALL of your money in Anything so they could get a percentage / fee. HE HAS CREATIVE WELL THOUGHT OUT STRATEGIC INVESTMENT IDEAS Ask him about his strategic way of weeding out lower performing stocks in developing the the equivalent of a diversified fund representative of the market. Instead of trying to "pick winners" which is really impossible unless you have inside information, he has a creative strategy of weeding out low-performers in an overall market. HE IS GREAT AT TAKING A LOOK AT YOUR OVERALL FINANCIAL PICTURE After you go over your overall financial situation with him, some strategies that can save you a lot of money or minimize a lot of downside risk will be pointed out. He takes into consideration tons of factors, age, stage in life, family, health, underinsurance risk, and a whole plethora of things that maximize your financial health. And he'll be polite and tactful, but he'll not pull any punches in pointing out potential areas for change. I'm impressed with Ashley. And ask him for a consult and I'm sure that you will be too!
