We're now left with very little time to find a replacement and we'll probably lose a lot of money as a result of this surprise from them. Facts: we agreed to work together at the start of this year. They shared a portal for us to upload docs into. It took us a few weeks to get started uploading those docs but we're still within their purported time-frame in mid-February. We had some access issues that, for myself, they fixed; that was not fixed for my wife and we had to bug them several times in the last week before our scheduled tax prep meeting. They then reached out to me, saying that they can no longer work with us and that they'll delete all the files I uploaded to their vault. When I asked them why, they did not respond.

Aaron has been an amazing financial advisor and a rockstar of a planner…read more He showcases his breadth of knowledge on all things finance-related when I bring up an unfamiliar topic or a confusing finance document, and he helps me understand counterintuitive financial principles, calls out my financial blind spots, and helps me see perspectives on how to approach a life/financial decision that I wouldn't have ever considered. After vetting a handful of financial advisors five years ago, I ended up choosing Aaron in large part because I value how his approach to financial planning is more than merely quantitative. Aaron spends the time to understand me, what drives & motivates me, what I want to do in life, and then he's able to craft a plan with my finances to get me to where I want to be. Because of this, Aaron never pressures or burdens me with a investment decision; he explains everything to me in a very digestible way, but defers to me for the final call. Aaron also has a very affable personality, and it's super easy to talk about anything and everything with him, which I greatly appreciate because finances permeate deeply into all aspects of life that it requires a relationship built on trust to be to share vulnerably and openly. Even as my goals and desires change, or as my family grows, Aaron pivots along with me, and he gives me the confidence to wholly entrust all my finances to him so that I can focus on the non-financial aspects of life. I'm also super thankful of Aaron's flexibility. Sometimes our conversations run long, but I never feel rushed. Other times, I'm at a crossroads with a big financial decision, but Aaron has gone above and beyond to take an impromptu phone call in order to give me the advice that helps me make the right choice. I've been recommending Aaron to anyone who asks me for a financial advisor, and will continue to do so. There's no other CFP I can envision working with!
