I specifically worked with Amie…read more 15/10 recommendation. The first time we spoke, around a year and a half ago, Amie (gently) turned me away and shared her free PDF as a resource to get a better handle on my finances before I paid for her services. I feel like most places would have taken my money and not have put my best interest first so that was really surprising and honestly, solidified my interest in working with her. She has a really good character! A couple of months ago, we met for the second time and I had paid off all of my debt and had an emergency savings, so we agreed to move forward with the final call & financial plan! I feel a lot more confident about retirement and that I'm making the right choices with my money. Amie is very kind and straightforward, and also happy to answer any questions! I am 25 so I had a lot of questions haha. My only regret is that I did not know about a financial planner when I was younger. Had I had seen Amie at age 20 or 21 I feel like I would be in an even better financial situation. Again, I highly recommend Amie and can only imagine that the others who work at Lulafinancial are just as great!

I've known Amie for years as a performer, and after discovering they were also a professional…read morefinancial adviser, I jumped at the chance to meet with them. I've worked the last 15 years as a professional freelance musician and teaching artist, and had never met with a financial adviser, so I came in quite nervous, though eager to learn. Within minutes of our first session, she laid out some excellent core tenets for me to follow, assessed my financial situation, was realistic and transparent, suggested several easy steps for me to start. She did all this while being supportive and encouraging - allowing me space to drop any guilt or shame for having "started late" on things like building retirement savings and investments. She was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and followed up immediately with a write-up with action items for me. Needless to say, I feel infinitely more confident and clear on next steps, and I'm excited to continue working with her. Do yourself a favor and hire Amie for a financial planning meeting! It's one of the most important steps I took in adulthood and you won't be sorry.

I highly recommend Sean Burgess' financial planning services. I chose Sean because of his…read moreaffordable, one-hour consultation session offering. I wasn't looking to spend thousands of dollars to have a financial advisor provide ongoing money management services. I really just wanted an expert to look at my situation in detail and provide advice that I could execute on myself. That's exactly what I got, and it was an incredibly valuable hour for me. Going into our session, I felt overwhelmed and without a plan for achieving my short and long term financial goals. Sean examined my situation (via a detailed questionnaire he had me complete in advance of our meeting) and provided, in a kind and straight-forward manner, both high-level perspective and clear guidance on specific actions to take. The greatest benefit of my meeting with Sean was that I came away with a much-increased clarity of my financial picture, which improved my sense of control and reduced my stress. I wouldn't hesitate to consult him again in the future when the need arises.

It has been several years since I went to see Sean so please keep that in mind but I just came…read moreacross his Yelp profile and realized I should add a review as meeting with him has stuck with me since then. I went to see him originally as I was searching for a financial planner that would really dig into my specific situation and help me "tune" my finances. At that time I had a general idea of finances, more than most people but less than some. I had read up on compound interest, opportunity costs... blah blah... and I had been saving about 50% of my paycheck and maxing out my 401k for decades. I've also tracked my spending in Quicken for about 20 years so I have an amazingly detailed view on exactly where all my money goes. With all this data, I was looking for a partner to put things over the finish line as I wrapped up my last few years of working. So now was the time that I needed another set of eyes on my finances to put an exit plan together and double check my math. It turns out that Sean isn't the person for this type of work. Although a SUPER nice guy with a passion for helping others, his advice from our one meeting was just the very basic fundamentals of financial planning. For example, for retirement he recommended that a person have X percentage of their current salary saved for a certain number of years. This is a common boiler plate idea that is a good starting point for thinking about finances. Unfortunately, this didn't fit my goal of seeing him as I wanted to "tune" my finances, not just keep sacking away as much as possible and use an off the shelf formula to determine success. I was willing to pay for personal advice but what he offered wasn't helpful or tailored to me in any way. I pointed out that this calculation doesn't apply to me because half of my salary as well as my max 401k match shouldn't be calculated into what I need to save for retirement. Will I keep saving 50% of my income during retirement? Of course not. When I pressed him on this, he didn't seem to have an answer. There were many more examples like this where he used a very basic spreadsheet to determine net retirement needed, current savings rates... which, for the right client, would be a great place to start. I do see that some people will get real value from working with Sean because they might not understand these concepts. What I am thankful to Sean for is that he inspired me to take matters into my own hands and dig deep into this project myself so I was able to retire at 50. This wouldn't have happened if I stuck with Sean. All of the resources that Sean brings to the discussion can easily be found for free on most any 101 planning website. But, if you want someone to walk you through these new concepts, Sean is easy to talk to and pleasant to be around. I would also plan on moving on from him fairly quickly as you will be doing yourself a disservice to stick with the basics that he provides for very long. Lastly, I would echo Daniel F's review almost verbatim.

UPDATE (July 2026): After posting my original review, the…read morefirm reached out to discuss my experience in detail. We had several conversations, and I appreciated that they took the time to listen to my concerns and work toward a resolution that I felt was fair. My original review still reflects my experience during the engagement, and I stand by the concerns I raised regarding communication, continuity, and quality control. However, I also believe it's important that my review reflects the complete experience. Because the firm took my concerns seriously and made a genuine effort to address them, I'm updating both my written review and my star rating. I've also agreed to a future tax planning consultation and will evaluate whether to continue working with the firm next year. If I do, I requested that my engagement be handled by the tax professional who ultimately finalized my return after it was escalated, or someone with a similar level of experience, and the firm agreed to honor that request. I'll update this review again after that experience so future clients can see how it compares. ORIGINAL (June 2026): I hired Dimov because I wanted more than tax preparation, I wanted a long-term CPA relationship for my growing business. During my initial consultation, I clearly explained my two priorities: evaluating our R&D expenses and discussing an inventory write-off strategy. Those were the primary reasons I hired the firm. George was very responsive before payment. After I became a client, however, I was handed off repeatedly. Over the course of my engagement, I worked with EIGHT different team members and had to continually re-explain my business, priorities, and previously submitted information. It felt like no one truly owned my engagement from beginning to end. The process took over three months to complete. Just to name a few issues: - My return was placed on extension without anyone proactively informing me that the original filing deadline would not be met. - The two primary issues I hired the firm to evaluate, R&D and inventory, were both initially overlooked. - I paid separately for an R&D consultation, yet the R&D analysis was not included in my draft return. - After I questioned why the R&D was missing, it was added to the return. However, when I reviewed the revised return, I questioned the analysis itself. The preparer assigned to it acknowledged he wasn't experienced with the R&D credit, and the matter had to be escalated to someone with more expertise before it was completed correctly. - A California LLC tax payment I had already made, and previously notified the firm about, was omitted until I caught it. - I spent weeks following up for updates and often received little or no meaningful response. When communication broke down, I copied George on multiple emails and also reached out to him directly. I never received a response, which was disappointing since he was the person I initially engaged with and who understood my goals. To the firm's credit, every issue I raised was eventually corrected. However, those corrections came only after I identified the problems myself. Had I simply signed the original drafts, several important items would have been omitted or reflected incorrectly. If you're looking for basic tax preparation and are comfortable reviewing every detail yourself, your experience may be different. I was looking for proactive tax planning, guidance, and confidence that my return had been thoroughly reviewed. Unfortunately, I didn't receive that experience.

The reason I went to them: I needed someone who could handle out-of-state rental property taxes (I'm in California and have a rental property in Indiana). Filing Process: They request documents long before April so that they can work on my tax return before the April rush. I send my tax documents and business statements via their secure portal. They reach out with any questions or anything that looks odd, as well as reminders for potential documents I may have missed. After they have worked on my taxes, the team reviews my filing with me and helps me with planning for the next year. They point out opportunities and areas to improve on, as well as projections for next year and areas I want to be mindful of. Extra: The Dimov Tax team sends out reminders throughout the year for important things to keep in mind such as: dates, tax strategies, changes in local tax law, changes in federal tax law and changes in government policy. Customer Service: The team has always been responsive and available to help whenever I had a small question or needed an extended discussion for particular issues. I can reach out by phone or email and they typically get back to me within a few minutes or hours and at most a few days.
