In the past week, two people asked me if I would recommend a reliable and honest investment adviser, so I thought I would write a review for mine. After being a stockbroker for a decade, I learned a lot about investing. On the job training taught me many things. I learned that you have to be confident to trust your investment expert and your investment expert needs to be smart and well versed in the financial markets. Jonathan DeYoe and his team of experts continually earn that confidence from me and my family. For several years, we have been clients of DeYoe Wealth Management. Thank goodness. The team at the firm care about our portfolio as if it was their own. They are on top of things and they keep us connected. Jonathan makes sure to keep us informed of changes in the market that affect our investments. He publishes newsletters that are informative and keeps us in tune with what is going on in the world of finance. We appreciate the expertise and care the DeYoe team provides time and time again. Over the years, we have transferred our Merill Lynch personal account and opened a SEP, two IRAs and a college fund with DeYoe Wealth Management. We took our time to get to know Jonathan and his associates and we are very pleased with our professional relationship. The team at this firm is very knowledgeable and we have been happy with our rate of return and results ... even in a down market. Their choices have outperformed the S&P on a regular basis. Originally I met Jonathan at a business networking meeting (BNI) and he was introduced to me by a mutual friend and client. In the last five years, I have recommended DeYoe Wealth Management to friends and I have heard great feedback from them as well. The DeYoe investment team has a terrific track record and their excellent reputation is well deserved. So if you are confused about all of the financial information you hear on the news and read in the papers, call these guys and ask them to help you understand what is going on and to get you on the right track. They will ... cause that is what they do. read more

Financial Planning isn't something I'm good at... Saving money, isn't my forte! The entire aspect is daunting and overwhelming to me! I've worked with Jonathan for 5+ years. What is consistent is his honesty, sincerity, and transparency in what he does. With all the ugly news of our financial systems running aground due to lack of integrity and greed, Jonathan is a fresh breath of air. Working with Jonathan has been good for me because he's firm, but completely flexible with how he works with me. He's also very passionate about what he does and that passion really shines thru. In addition, the support staff always makes me feel warm and welcomed and part of the DeYoe Family. Jonathan is my defacto Financial Planner. read more

After having the same broker for over 15 years, upon meeting Jonathan and realizing what REAL customer service means, I handed my portfolio over to Jonathan's firm for more effective financial management and growth. After 5 years of doing business with him, I am still continually impressed with the high levels of sincerity, integrity and commitment that he brings to his clients and their investments. Even with all the craziness that has been going on in the market place over the last year, I haven't lost any sleep knowing, that my investments are in very good hands. Jonathan takes the time to meet with me on an annual basis to review where we're at and makes any necessary changes. Jonathan and his team of experts are truly a rare find. A team that always goes above and beyond to take care of their clients - with commitment, passion and social responsibility too. I'm a big fan of DeYoe Wealth Management and highly recommend them and their services whether you know a little or a lot about investing. You'll be glad you did! Sincerely, Michele Molitor CEO Nectar Consulting, Inc. read more

I took Jonatan DeYoe's "Rejuvenate Your Retirement" class and it included a paper textbook, two 2-hour classes, and a "lab" where Jonathan and Scott talked with me about my plan and made good suggestions. They gave me at least a half hour, answered all my questions, and never hinted that I needed to make an appointment for a paid consultation. The class and lab cost $39. Best $39 I ever spent! read more

Jonathan DeYoe brings incredible expertise, experience and passion to financial planning. Beyond his professional skills he also brings fun & delight to being part of Berkeley's rich commercial & cultural community. With the support of Deyoe Wealth Management I feel my money is being well managed in these rocky times. He & his staff are always available for questions. My family feels very grateful to have their help & services for many years. read more

After recently retiring, I took a class, "Rejuvenate Your Retirement" with Jonathan DeYoe. I expected it to be a hard sell couched with some basic financial planning information. Far from it! Jonathan's approach was informative, relaxed and so easy to understand. I left feeling far more confident about how to think about my finances and how to move forward in my planning. The class included an optional one-on-one meeting a couple of weeks later. Even though it was clear from the get-go that I don't meet the requirements to be an actual client, Jonathan and Scott treated me as if I were one of their most valued patrons. They were fully engaged, answered all of my questions and provided genuinely useful information and advice. Highly recommend! read more

When I first contacted DeYoe Wealth Management earlier this year, I had accumulated a decent amount of money in the bank and it was just sitting in a savings account earning practically nothing. I didn't have any kind of investment plan, and I didn't really want to go out and start reading books to figure it all out. But I knew that I was losing in potential earnings with my do-nothing plan! I was also just at the point of incorporating my business and trying to figure out all the details I needed to know about that including choosing the best tax strategies. I needed a financial advisor, a CPA, and an attorney, actually, and I had none of those. Jonathan DeYoe has connected me with all of the knowledgeable advisors I needed, and has done so much more for me than I even realized I needed. With my current financial plan, I know my assets are being well cared for by a knowledgeable team, but beyond that, I now have a long-range vision for my financial outlook to age 95! (I'm only 36 now.) Jonathan has also brought to my attention things I hadn't really thought of like getting disability insurance and setting up a 401K for my business. Beyond that, Jonathan, Nancy, and Malena are all just so genuinely caring and involved. I always enjoy seeing them in the office, and I feel very grateful that I have trustworthy advisors and don't need to become a financial expert myself. read more

I just moved my retirement accounts and investments over from a different person to Jonathan and his team. Nancy in his office is a gem..very thorough and competent. Jonathan inspires trust, and his advice is based on analysis of your personal situation, not what's good for him. read more

I've been with DeYoe Wealth Management for over 2 years now and what I like best about Jonathan, is how personal & honest he is. He's never too busy to talk with you and he makes you feel like you're his favorite customer. He truly loves what he does and he is dedicated to giving you the best service possible. He has terrific integrity and I just think he's the best. read more

I have known Jonathan, his family, and his firm for several years. I am a business owner and busy parent. My wife and I trust Jonathan and his team to manage our finances due to our limited time and lack of expertise. We are happy with the planning and implementation we have received with Jonathan. Jonathan is very knowledgeable and his team is a reflection of his professional ethic. While Jonathan is a very knowledgeable financial manager/planner he is also very embedded in the community. This means he has a circle of professional people with whom he has established and vetted relationships and whom he can recommend. An excellent example of why this is useful was our need for an estate attorney. We called Jonathan and he gave us several options and we are extremely happy with the person we chose from his list. This has proven true several times for both personal and business needs. read more

I absolutely love the staff at Jonathan De Yoe's firm. They are all very personable and very professional. In the 4 years I have been doing business with them, I have learned to trust them and to rely on them for clear and up to date analysis of the market and my portfolio. When I meet with them, I can count on hearing real information not information glossed over to sell me a product. I recommend this firm highly. read more

I've been very pleased with Jonathans help as well as that of his team of financial professionals. I started my retirement fund late in life and I know little about investing, Jonathan put me at ease right away and I implicitly trust him with the plan he's implemented for me. I don't have time to figure out how to invest or the inclination. Previously I had a planner that was not in contact with me regularly and consuquently I had some funds that were real losers! I know if I needed to I could call anyone on Jonathans team at his office and they would help me. I also believe in supporting locally run companies and De Yoe Wealth management is a company I would recommend to all my firneds and family. I really thank De Yoe Wealth management for all there support and help! read more

I am a business owner myself . Like all business owners, we work 12 hour days to finance our lives. That means we are in business to make money. That's just fine, BUT if a business has a bottom line mentality it will not retain me as a customer. I demand more than that from the firms I do business with and I GET MORE THAN THAT from DeYoe Wealth Management. When I am in their North Berkley Office or on the phone pestering them about my investments, I do not get the impression that I am simply a dollar sign in their eyes. Oh my, would the world be a better place if this wasn't so rare. Oh, and by the way, these people really know what they are doing! read more

When I first met Jonathan five years ago, I realized that he was radically different from the brokers and money managers I had worked with in the past. My father had used two brokers, and I had continued to work with them. They charge a fee for each trade, which means that their incentive is to make trades, not protect and grow my portfolio. By contrast, DeYoe Wealth Management charges a small percentage of the portfolio as an annual fee. If they make me money, they make more money. I like this. Jonathan and his team are extremely knowledgeable and professional. I call what they do "holistic money managing". They started by talking to me about what I wanted, my goals, my needs, my preferences for instance not to support cigarette manufacturers. Then they backed into how to balance my portfolio. Jonathan values providing the best possible service to each client, and it shows. I have referred several friends to Jonathan, and all of them have thanked me. read more

ok, honestly, i'm just a computer geek. I do the internet. I make the internet go. I don't care about money as long as i have enough to afford video games and mt. dew. and that is precisely why i have the entirety of my investment portfolio with DeYoe wealth. I have been in the office exactly two times. both times were quite enjoyable experiences. the office staff is fun, joking around, and overall a great group to hang out with. but when it comes to your money, they're all seriousness and business like. it's reassuring to know they can have fun, but they're not going to play around with my retirement. and, they set me up with a web portal to access my account to see how much money i'm making. and it's exceedingly satisfying to log in and see positive growth month after month. especially considering what a rollercoaster any sort of financial market is these days. most people like rollercoasters, me, not so much. not that kind of rollercoaster. anyway, bottom line... DeYoe Wealth Management is a good, solid, trustworthy firm who won't do you wrong. and they're good people too. read more

We trust Jonathan DeYoe to take care of us and our investments. We are pretty much hands-off clients when it comes to strategic financial decisions, but Jonathan always involves us in what he's doing with our money. He understands the level of risk we can handle and manages our portfolio accordingly. He always involves us in the process and we trust him and his staff to do what's best for us. We find all the staff there to be very professional and knowledgeable. They also take a personal interest in our lives and have included us in many fun client events. We are very happy with our decision to work with DeYoe Wealth Management. You will be too! read more

Wow. I'm not a customer, but emailed them for some advice on a complicated international stock issue. While they don't offer the type of assistance that I need, they went way above and beyond is trying to help me, even doing some basic research on their own dime on how to resolve my problem. I had forgotten what customer service is until contacting DeYoe. Thank you. read more

Thank you Nancy Cooper!!! Called to get help without really knowing what I need help on. Unfortunately, they were not providing the type of service I'm needing but instead of just leaving it at that, Nancy explained a lot and provided me with a contact she thought would be a good fit for my needs. That makes her AWESOME and reflects the company :) read more

Jonathan DeYoe brings such integrity and command to the process. I keep hearing from people that almost instantly, you feel like you're in the right place and in the right hands. When I think about Jonathan, the word "trust" immediately comes to mind ... and he's only fortified that opinion during the two years I've known him through a local business networking group. The professionals there also REALLY listen and take your values and priorities into consideration. People in Berkeley (especially) care about the issues and making sure their money stands in support of worthy causes ... while still being wise investments. They really "get that" at DeYoe Wealth Management. I would especially recommend DWM to anyone interested in "conscious investing." read more
