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!

Working with Kyle Clark has been a standout experience from start to finish…read more After a deeply frustrating experience with another financial advisor program, I was cautious about starting over, but working with Kyle has been a complete 180. From the start, Kyle was thorough and patient. He walked me through transferring all of my existing funds, helped me establish clear savings goals, and gave me concrete, actionable guidance I could actually act on. What impressed me most was his timing: all of this unfolded during a period of significant personal transition for me, and he handled every step with professionalism and calm. The results have spoken for themselves. My portfolio has reached record highs, and for the first time, I genuinely feel in control of my financial future. If you're looking for an advisor who is competent and steady under pressure, I can't recommend Kyle highly enough!

Which ones do I combine? Am I investing too aggressively or not enough? What the heck is this fund? Nick Licouris did a fantastic job - we met twice, and he mapped out a detailed roadmap for me to get my financial house in order over the next few years, explaining everything in plain English anyone could understand. He confirmed I was headed in the right direction, but also pointed out a few things I was unaware of. He also correctly predicted how many hours it would take, so the cost was no surprise. I am very, VERY pleased with the results and I've recommended him to others and will probably hire him again, once I've executed the plan.

DO NOT PUT ANY MONEY WITH THIS MORGAN STANLEY OFFICE! The brokers there,especially Susan Ziegler,…read moreare far more concerned about their own retirement than their clients' retirement! I think their motto is, "a sucker is born every minute." Truly, I was stupid and trusted Susan, my "financial adviser," and was even stupid enough to tell her so! I did not do my due diligence. Don't make the same mistake I made and trust this woman because she seems so nice. I am far from wealthy and Susan Ziegler put me in Morgan Stanley loser investments. She even put me in a 2 star Morgan Stanley fund that has LOST MONEY for the past 5 years. " She never let me know about the downsides of any of the loser investments she put me in. She only told me the positive things. When I finally caught on to her, I asked her why she did that. She said "because there just aren't that many good Morgan Stanley funds." When I asked her why only Morgan Stanley funds she wouldn't answer me. I have since found out that the "financial advisers" there get more clients and a lot of 'brownie points" from the company by the number of Morgan Stanley investments their clients have. So truly, their system is rigged. Susan Ziegler even told that every new contribution to my Roth had to be put in the same loser Morgan Stanley fund. And guess what, because I trusted her and I did it. But, hey, if I hadn't, she wouldn't have gotten those trailing commissions! With my savings account (as opposed to my retirement account) Susan Ziegler put 1/2 of my savings in a bond that doesn't mature for 30 years!! Who the hell in this economy wants their money tied up for 30 years?! I know I she never told this bond didn't mature for 30 years! Would I have done this? --What am I stupid?! --Obviously, I am because I was stupid enough to trust her. She actually wanted me to invest in another bond and when I asked the bond's rating, I was told, "Bonds don't have ratings." --Total and absolute bald-faced lie! I guess there must have been a helluva commission on this one. The lack of ethics at this Morgan Stanley office is unbelievable. I don't know how these people sleep at night. These people are the type that give Wall Street a bad reputation. I would have been better off doing my own investing. At least I wouldn't have been stupid enough to put my money in 2 star funds that were losing money. DO NOT GO HERE just to let THEM make money at YOUR LOSS!

They did absolutely nothing but park my money in their funds and leave it. I caught on to their game very quick and took my money out right away. I also am requesting a full refund of all fees.

Unfortunately, Rick Bavetz & Carington are not what Dave tells us about. After the initial conversation I sent over our financial information and was set up by Rick and his office girl Carolyn for a zoom call to start a possible working relationship. I left work early a week ago to get home and be set up ready to go... Nothing, no call. I texted, emailed, left messages nothing. Ghosted, like the teenagers do. Still no communication (complete Crickets). I'm so sorry I sent our info and now feel exposed by this terrible experience. I'm certain this is not the type of service or people that Dave Ramsey is expecting to represent his program. I highly recommend not contacting or using Carington or Rick Bavetz because of my own personal experience.
