Would definitely recommend to others looking for financial planning services!

Trying to make money with investments is the purpose of investing. However.... not here, anyway!!!…read moreGavin was very uneasy trying to say that I'm too poor for his minimum financial threshold. He never even asked me what my financial investment intent was (I guess because I used the term "a little here/a little there and I'm looking to consolidate); but, he made it clear that he only works with investors with $250,000 or more. Then, do your job Gavin! If your client does not have that, help them achieve that goal. How insulting and rude to dismiss without even knowing any financial facts. If a client is below "your means", DO NOT deflect them onto another employee without meeting them first. Getting them in the door is half the battle...then, at that time, it can be discussed what's most beneficial for the client. How does he know what one has or doesn't have without meeting first? He was very quick to say, "I'll have Abe/Abraham (?) contact you" NOPE! Do not pass my info onto another. This is an awful way to conduct business. Oh, and for the investor friends that I know that are with Charles Schwab....I will send this review to them directly. Yet, they promote otherwise....see photo!!!

I was looking to buy some life insurance, transfer my IRA, get a 401k for my company and pretty…read moremuch start planning my retirement for the future. Basically all that stuff you're supposed to do when you're ready to become an adult. Am I truly ready to become an adult? I don't know but like they say it's always better to start earlier then later. After talking with some colleagues and friends to find out who they used as their financial planner, Garrett Vanneman came up a few times so I thought I'd give them a call. I'm really happy with my decision of choosing a smaller firm instead of one of the larger companies. I work directly with Garrett, who grew up in Roseville. He's also a Certified Financial Planner, which I've read takes passing a very difficult test to get the certification. He took the time to listen to my goals and checked out my financial situation and was able to help me set up the correct life insurance policies and an IRA. One thing I really liked was Garrett was able to find me a less expensive insurance through my professional work organization then he was able to find on his own. And instead of pressuring me to buy one of his insurances, he told me the other would be a better deal. So I really appreciate his honesty and that he is looking out for me. Other things I really like about their office is they are really easy to get a hold of and they always call me back or email me right away whenever I have any questions. The front office staff of Nicole and Linda are very friendly and always eager to help. Overall, if you're looking for a financial planning service or a company to help with your 401k, I would recommend Vanneman Financial Group for honest advice and great customer service.

Before I met John Worden a few years ago, each year it felt like our tax return was a shot in the dark. We never really knew if we would owe money or get a return.

Everyone at the office is also friendly and professional. I highly recommend!

Not once did anyone contact us with questions, explanations, or comments throughout the process. The end result was that we paid more in taxes this year than we have in the previous 35 years combined. If you prefer no communication and want to feel like just another file number, this may be the firm for you. However, if you expect responsiveness, guidance, or even basic interaction, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Keep in mind that any conversation with a staff member will cost you $350 per hour, even for something as simple as correcting a misspelled name , with billing applied accordingly.
