We have worked with other financial planners in the past, Jeff is in a league of his own. We walked out of this meeting learning many things we did not know before, but certainly should have. I wish we had made this appointment many years ago. Jeff made us both feel so comfortable talking with him. We are grateful that we had the opportunity to sit down with Jeff and look forward to our next meeting. If you are looking for a financial planner and not sure where to turn, this would be my first phone call. Thank you Jeff! Rebecca & Manny Porto

I can't believe no one reviewed this yet?! I love this shopping center, newer, organized, and…read moreclean. Located in Cranston across the street from garden city, this shopping center has it all- one stop shopping. It houses specialty shops, health offices (eye, plastic surgery etc.) fitness, massage, beauty, and restaurants. They also house a few end stores such as Shaws- (it's a monster and has lots of prepared foods) staples and TJ maxx. It is also home to one of the nicer restaurants in RI Chapel Grille. I just recently started to come here due to my workout class and just love the plaza. It has plenty of parking even on a busy day. During the winter, the parking lots are nicely maintained, and during the summer they take beautiful care in the landscaping. For me- Small details like pretty flowers actually earn brownie points. Finally, the location of the shopping plaza is directly off the exit to the highway- easy on and off ramp to get to the major highways of 295 and 95, perfect for someone like me who doesn't live in Cranston.

If I could rate a zero I would. Hate to bad mouth a business but this one is worthy of it…read more Financial services and advisory businesses are generally tough to deal with but UWM is at the top of the list of tough to deal with, or get a straight answer from, or get a truthful answer from. In my experience with this Cranston Financial Advisory company the principal advisor mislead me on the advisory fees and never gave a direct and clear answer when I questioned her on it. This is not sour grapes because of a poor performance in the market - that happens even with the best of them, but this company just placed my investments into a cookie cutter model and never actively managed or changed the investments to more suitable and appropriate holdings for my situation. The advisory fee charged was not the advisory fee we agreed up at the onset. I would not recommend using this company based on my poor experience even though I tried in vain to ask targeted and direct questions for the fees charged- the advisor was not truthful or forthright and charged me well over and above the fee we agreed upon. I put my trust and faith in this company and relied on what was told to me in our meetings and phone calls and was insulted and astonished that I was repeatedly lied to. Once the fees were taken from my accounts they were gone for good as the advisory would not discuss the issue with me and lost me as a client forever.

Having a mountain of student…read moredebt from law school and a limited understanding of how to invest or save in a smart way, I felt frozen for years, being afraid of making mistakes when it came to allocating funds. This is how Jake helped me: - Applied a holistic approach in understanding what I wanted out of life and consequently for what purpose I want to make money. He then took the time to figure out how I am comfortable spending or saving or investing money so that he could tailor my financial strategy so that it resonated with me and I felt good about the whole experience. - Walked me through everything (I mean EVERYTHING) in a way so that I not only understood everything, but was able to apply the skills going forward. He used short instructional video clips (I'm visual), applied step-by-step approaches to everything I had to get done, and made sure I had all documents and information easily accessible in my files. - Really heard me and made sure ALL my questions were answered during each session. Aside from being competent at his job, Jake is a really personable, positive, and nice to work with. He really knows his stuff and it is obvious he has passion for this type of work. For me, it was important that the person who helps me navigate my finances was competent and straightforward without passing judgment. I also wanted to feel more in control of my finances and hopeful about my future. Jake definitely hit those points for me. To say I feel elated is an understatement. I even feel smarter! I highly recommend Jake and would use him again should I need more guidance in the future.

The office was in a charming historic building in down town Providence. Everything from the hallways to the elevator to the pendulum clock in the office just reminds of a more classical time in the history of Providence, perhaps a better time. Nikki is very kind and welcoming. She has a positive attitude. We sat with her and her father, Larry. They know how to ask all the right questions and they gave us a detailed and thorough consultation. I was really impressed with their professionalism. Best of all, the consultation was FREE! And here is how I know Nikki and Larry are trustworthy. They advised us against a specific business plan and showed us its shortcomings, although they could have made lots of money doing the paperwork for us. This shows integrity. Larry showed me how to do a simple task at city hall that would cost me a mere $10 instead of something that would have cost around $1000 a year. Give them a try and judge for yourself!
