Biggest factor in leaving was no communication on how funds were doing. Are they doing better, worse or the same as a non actively managed account? I never knew! The only regular updates I received were bills. In order to know any changes in your account you have to send an email and request specifically what you want. No regular, periodic emails sent showing status. Nope, just the bill. So I wish I could tell you if it was a benefit or not to have an actively managed account but I know less now on than I did previously. So overall kinda disappointing. I guess I assumed I would receive information on how my account was doing & hopefully better to justify the fee, but that just never happened. Nice and trustworthy guy but knowing how the account is doing is more important to me than having a 'nice guy' in my contact list. I'm honestly a bit bummed. The quest continues!

Thank for advertising on the radio. I heard Rae on WGN, called and God had you pick up. I work at a non-profit hospital which helped me to make the payment affordable and workable.

I write this review on 4/19, with my taxes still not filed by John and no response to my emails…read more  Admittedly, I came to John with a mess of current and previous taxes. He accepted this mess graciously and I paid him $700 for his services. This was on February 15th. Since then, I have followed up with him several times over a span of several weeks, with a CC to his assistant, and have either received assurance that my taxes would be completed prior to the due date or simply no response at all.  I took a leap by trusting someone that I came across on the internet with good reviews but as I sit here filled with anxiety, I'm realizing that was a huge error in judgement.  Learn from my mistake and don't simply trust the good reviews. Do your homework and maybe stick with the larger corporations where you know the work will get done. UPDATE based on John's response: The dates provided by John are correct, however, they do not excuse an Accountant hired to complete taxes prior to the April 18th deadline failing to file said taxes. John, check your emails and you will see that all information, including the information you asked for most recently, was absolutely completed and uploaded to Dropbox. The fact that you are accepting no blame for not responding to multiple requests from a client in addition to not filing taxes by the due date is appalling considering that it's exactly what you were hired for. Regardless to any amount of refund, you didn't alert me to this until April 21st, three days after taxes were due and I had already told you that I was taking my services elsewhere. As mentioned in my final email to you, I strongly advise assessing your workload prior to accepting new clients. You knew exactly what you were agreeing to 2 months prior to the tax deadline and assured me that my taxes would be filed. Lastly, for anyone who has read this far. I am attaching a copy of John's list of excuses as to why the taxes weren't filed on time.

Jessica has been my financial advisor for the last five years and continues to be so. She is…read morealways available if I had any questions or need advice. She has advised me through many of my life's major transitions: Single Life, Married Life, Starting a Business, and Long Term Traveling. I met Jessica when I was single. I was financially unorganzied and only had a checking and savings account. With her help, she got my finances in order by diversifying my savings across many different products & platforms and helped me set up financial goals. When I got married, she helped me with the transition and guided us with merging our finances together (a daunting task for any couple, which made our lives easier). She helped advise us on some products that would benefit a married couple, made sure that we were financially secure, and offered advices on other areas that we should be concerned about. When I started a small consulting company, Jessica helped me with the finances of getting a new business off the ground. She created a business account for me and worked to diversify the business income and a retirement savings plan. Most importantly, Jessica's helped us plan out our year long travel/career break. She worked with us to make sure we were financially ready for us to quit our jobs and travel on our savings without depleting it completely. Jessica worked with us on establishing a budget and a stretch budget (since traveling long term is unlike traveling for vacations). She was alway available to us while we were on the road if we needed any information or to make a transfer of funds if we needed it. She was a great asset to have while we were on the road. It help us enjoy our travel with one less thing to worry about.

I was pretty intimidated with the idea of meeting with a financial planner, initially. In fact, I really didn't feel ready! I was pretty sure that I would want to have a lot more money in my bank accounts before "planning" would make any sense. Boy was I wrong! As Jessica helped me understand, it is important to plan from the beginning, even before you start making big investments or before your business takes off, so that you can build on a solid foundation. Jessica is easy to talk to, and helps me understand why what I do today is important for my future, and the future of my business. Now when I think about my finances, I don't immediately start having palpitations, because I know I have a plan in place and Jessica is helping me! I can rest easier. I highly recommend working with Jessica Merino, even before you think you are ready!

Chris was friendly, energetic and very knowledgable about everything we threw at him. He was great about pausing to make sure he'd answered all of our questions before he moved on. We spent a good amount of time looking through our retirement accounts, investments, savings, budgets, loans, and goals. Chris sat with us at a big, round table and wrote down tons of notes as we went. He walked us through his calculations for investments and pointed out some huge fees we could avoid. He found us savings and suggested we open a few new accounts to make our money work harder. He definitely did not push any product, company, or anything. He went so far as to tell us to come back to see him only for big financial events. I will be coming back, though! I walked out of the meeting feeling very happy. Chris was honest, helpful and thorough. I have a better grip on my financial standing and a solid plan for investing. Thanks, Chris!

He keeps himself honest by offering a really easy to use app to track your positions and earnings results across all your accounts - no more guesswork.

I can also second the other review regarding Jason being a phenomenal advisor for younger professionals - he gives a personal touch that I don't think I'd receive with a more traditional/larger advisor. Because he's around my age and also lives in the city with similar family motivations, I really feel like he understands my goals and can understand my investment strategy.
