He is also very responsive and replies to all of my questions either via text, phone calls, or email. I didn't know what I was getting myself into, but with his help, and him laying out things as simple as one, two, three, he made everything about the mortgage process seem like a breeze. Also, without his constant persistency in making sure my loans get through, I probably would not have been able to get my loans within the restricted loan contingency time I was given by the seller. Props to steve in helping me so much in making everything happen, so thankful and happy :)

I had a great experience working with Jerry at Exact Tax. My tax situation was pretty complex and…read moretook quite some time to sort through, but he was patient, thorough, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He took the time to answer all of my questions--not just about my current filing, but also about strategies for both my business and personal taxes moving forward. I never felt rushed, and he made sure I fully understood everything along the way. I'm really glad I found Jerry and decided to make the switch from my previous tax preparer. It was absolutely the right decision. Highly recommend him if you're looking for someone knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping you long-term.

However, since COVID, I started using their Zoom option, and Nathan took over doing my taxes. Mary is amazing but I love Nathan! He patiently explains everything about my taxes in detail and answers my many questions without judgement. He always has a smile and is a funny guy which makes doing my taxes fun and painless. I highly recommend Exact Tax for your taxes and I highly recommend asking for Nathan to handle your taxes!

A few years ago, after receiving an inheritance, I spent a great deal of time researching and…read moreinterviewing fiduciary financial planners. Since we had never needed one before, my husband and I wanted to be sure we were making thoughtful decisions for our future. We ultimately chose Patrick, and we couldn't be happier with that decision. His focus on sustainable investing made him stand out even more and aligned well with our values. Patrick is not only highly knowledgeable and professional, but also approachable, thoughtful, and easy to talk with. Nearly three years later, we remain extremely pleased with both his guidance and the results. The addition of Rachel Strong to the team has been another positive development. She has been wonderful to work with as well, and together they provide outstanding service and support.

We needed someone we could trust, that can help organize our finances, set up some estate planning, and overall improve our financial literacy. We're so happy to have found Impact Fiduciary and to work with Chris whose always made sure we are set up for success. He's extremely knowledgable and patient in walking us through what financial decisions need to be made, and exactly what we sign up for as we look into certain investments. He's great at keeping up with us, even when we tend to lose sight of our goals or meetings. We've been fortunate to see a lot of growth after working with Chris, and it's assuring knowing we're investing with those who have similar values as us. Looking forward to working with them for years to come!

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!

I was going to give them 2 stars but after reading many reviews I felt that 1 star was more than…read moreadequate. After struggling online and on the phone about a fraudulent account for 2 weeks I was told to go to the nearest branch. I went to the Pasadena branch and spoke to Andrew Yip at the front desk, told him the whole story and showed him 8 documents I received in the mail from Charles Schwab. He was polite but seemed rather unmoved, perhaps because I was not there to open an actual account. I shared a LOT of personal information with him and he said they would look into it. I called him the next day for status and left a detailed message with a live person, but Andrew never called me back. Now I know I will NEVER open an account with this company. I just hope my review doesn't jeopardize their so-called "investigation" into my fraud issue!

Ryan is a kind, honest, and communicative financial advisor. I have recommended him to several…read morefriends and family members. He has taught us so much about money, and has really assured us that we can achieve our goals. My husband and I are both risk adverse hard-workers. We always err on the side of caution, while trying to align things to our own personal beliefs. Here are the best things about working with Ryan for almost three years: - He takes on the work of researching and organizing information for major purchases and life events. You describe your wants, needs, and concerns, and he can help guide you towards the best decisions for your family financially. He put things in visuals and charts! - He is very understanding. Personally, I don't want to invest in things that have to do with guns or war. He ensure this. - He knows a lot about trends and long term things. He's been a well-trusted financial planner for years. I trust professionals over myself in most situations, and your money is definitely something that could use a professional's opinion. Ultimately, he presents information in a non judge mental manner for you to make your own decision, but I appreciate his knowledge. - Flat Fee. That's it. He is a fiduciary and he's in the business of helping you make the right decisions. If you're on the fence, try it (if it's financially something that works for your budget and lifestyle). This is the opinion of a non financial planner investment person.

He is a "fee only" advisor -- which means he doesn't get a commission for selling you financial products that are advantageous to him. He put together a simple, doable plan for achieving my financial goals. He clearly explained my different options, and the pros and cons of each. The way he spelled things out makes it very easy for me to focus.
