I would NOT recommend this place if you want any kind of communication. Did we get our taxes filed?…read moreYes, at the very last minute but we did so I'll give them a star for at least getting that done. But we still had some questions with upcoming payments and documents and they "seemed" eager to help. However, after we paid the fee for the tax filing, they completely ghosted us. I've sent them questions with documents three time asking them to respond and follow up and have gotten nothing. If you have too many clients and are too busy, at the very least respond and tell us, it takes less than a minute. Don't just repeatedly ignore our emails when you're the ones that offered to be helpful. Very unprofessional.

Every year, tax season turns into a full-blown family group chat meltdown. My parents aren't…read moretech-savvy, patience is not in their vocabulary, and with my mom's disability, the whole process becomes overwhelming fast. So naturally, everything gets shipped off to me like I'm some kind of IRS whisperer. This year though? GAME. CHANGER. From the moment I called, Yvonne answered like a ray of calm sunshine, friendly, patient, and not at all phased by my "help, I'm doing my parents' taxes and I need adult supervision" energy. Then Liz followed up like the organized queen she is, making sure I had every document lined up (honestly, better than I've ever had my life together). And then... Andrea. The CEO herself. ICONIC. Not only did she walk me through everything like a pro, she broke things down in a way that didn't make me feel like I needed a finance degree to understand it. We talked strategy, future planning, and somehow--SOMEHOW--she got my parents the biggest return they've ever had. I'm still not over it. What used to be the most stressful time of year turned into one of the easiest, smoothest experiences ever. My parents are happy, I'm stress-free, and we've officially become those people who won't shut up about their tax office. 10/10. Would trust them with my sanity again.

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!
