These fees were not clearly communicated in advance.

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.

However, what I think of as "complex" tax problems and what Meepos considers "complex" are not the same. I just got off the phone with the owner of Meepos, and as Laura stated correctly, Meepos DO do personal taxes... for folks with very complex tax issues. What they also do that provides HUGE value to folks like me who think they have complex tax issues, is provide a referral to someone who will cost a lot less. "We have a staff of 15," he said. "You don't need to pay for that kind of firepower." And then he gave me a referral to a CPA that he said they've gotten a lot of really good feedback on. (Review to come...) That's pretty huge value, and why I give them 5 stars. Seriously, you'll take the time to listen to my situation, ask me questions to get as much information as you need, and then give me a referral to someone who will save me money? That's honesty and integrity? Hell yeah, I'll refer these guys... to folks with really complex taxes. :)
