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!

Drea & Celeste were friends of mine and since Celeste opened up The Financial Architects business they told me all the opportunities I could do with my 401k and helped me roll it over to an annuity. Drea handled my case and found the best plan to meet my needs. She asked investigative questions to help me make a plan for the future of my retirement. It's hard to find people who personally care and have integrity with the work they do to help others so that's why I trusted Drea to direct me with my future decisions. I was so happy with the service she provided and I always encourage my friends and family to see them for all their financial needs.

would like to take a moment to write an honest, sincere, and genuine review about Second Chance…read moreFinancial. Back in 1998, when I was trying to purchase a house, I needed help repairing and improving my credit. That's when I met an incredible team at Second Chance Financial -- John, Karen, and Wayne. From the very beginning, they treated me with kindness, honesty, professionalism, and genuine care. Thanks to their help and guidance, I was able to buy my home back in 1998. Now, 28 years later, I find myself reaching out to them again for assistance, and to my surprise and gratitude, Karen and Wayne are still there. That alone says so much about the dignity, integrity, and stability of this company. It shows not only how they value their clients, but also how they treat and respect their employees. What always made them different is that they never treated me like "just another client." Over the years, they would occasionally call simply to check on me and see how I was doing. That level of humanity and compassion is very rare today. If anyone needs honest and trustworthy help with their credit, I truly recommend Second Chance Financial. These are good people who genuinely care about helping others rebuild and move forward in life. Thank you, Karen. Thank you, Wayne. And may God bless the memory of John, who is no longer with us. Your kindness and help will never be forgotten.

I did have another appt with another firm but have cancelled that and will work totally with this company. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone....and have already done so to my family. In my experience it is very rare to find people that truly listen to what you say and want and then work FOR YOU from there.

As a degreed Accountant, MBA, and working in Fortune 500 Corporate Finance for over 30 years I have…read morebeen seriously investing since my late '20s. Before working with professional advisement, watched my wife's and my portfolio grow from five, to six and to finally seven figures. Would consider myself an experienced personal investor. However, portfolio grew stagnant (stayed in prior winners, now losers too long), leveled offed, and was not achieving desired returns, and was often radically up or down pertaining to market whims. Found myself even being experienced, being emotional in making needed financial decisions. Thus decided to finally pursue and rely on professional financial investment advisement for better consistent long term returns. Went thru a most thorough rigorous search and review process to choose the right Financial Advisor to entrust my entire now seven figure portfolio. This was a four step process that entailed screening firms for the right kind of (1) financial advisor formal university education, (2) investment training & licensing (CFP, CFA or CPA etc.), (3) firm reputation, especially local reputation, not just based on a national name recognition and (4) firm Investment style and practices. Basically wanted a firm that primarily were not just a bunch of financial salespersons (who got into the business a few years ago and primarily earn their income generating financial product sales) and genuinely care about the long term growth of their clientele. It would not make sense to invest my hard earn money with advisors who knew less (often far less) about Finance, and even less about the real Stock Market than me! I would sincerely say that 80% to even 90% of the firms out there do not meet or even close to my set standards (which should apply to you if you are a serious investor). Thus took almost two years to find the right firm to meet my set standards and long term goals. Personal care was of course considered, but all said $ results matter! After initial on-line screens in the dozens, went thru nearly a dozen actual person to person firm interviews. That said, I chose Gould Asset Management in Claremont, now going on four years, and have not looked back. They have the highest credentialed, formal finance educationally trained, market tested experienced, personnel with a better than Gold reputation in the community. They developed a medium and long term plan which I have entrusted my entire family's portfolio (with highly protective safeguards that they incorporated at the broker house level, i.e. Fidelity, Schwab, etc.) I have now been getting better consistent steady returns with softened market fluctuations. Guarantee you will only find this level of firm competence, financial investment knowledge, and true customer care and financial planning to meet your needs and goals only with Gould Asset Management and a few firms perhaps in the LA highest rent districts, think Bel-Air or Beverly Hills. Young or older as myself, if you are serious about developing a well planned diversified portfolio, look into Gould Asset Management. Ten, twenty years from now, you will be glad you did.
