A few years ago, I decided to make some changes to my self-guided portfolio, especially after the…read moredot com bubble burst. I had some concern about who would handle my finances and be sensitive to my being a gay man. Thanks to the Internet, I found Christopher Street Financial during my research and set up an appointment. At that time, I met with one of their financial advisers and we were on the same page as to the direction of my investments. It was refreshing to meet someone who understood and confirmed my ideas for the future. Recently, I had another meeting to go over changes in my finances. Although my original adviser was no longer with Christopher Street, I met two equally pleasant and wonderful members with the same results. They understood what was needed and had no hesitation to recommend courses of action that made sense to me. Christopher Street Financial does handle clients with smaller investments like myself, as well as people with more significant holdings. It's worth the call to inquire and set up an introductory meeting if you have an interest in current and future investment opportunities.

However, it is best to avoid the firm's "resident tax expert" Tina Salandra. She seriously botched my personal and LLC filings two years in a row, resulting in large penalties. My new tax firm had to refile both years. This was about three years ago. I don't understand why CSF continues its association with her. I was not surprised to find -- at a recent LGBT community event -- another CSF client who was in tax trouble because of Salandra. So I felt compelled to post this warning. Hope it saves someone else the trouble.

Best decision ever!

I honestly don't know what I would have done without Anne by my side. She stepped in swiftly, assertively, and calmly guided me through this murky situation. Anne didn't just manage--she advocated for my rights, protected my interests, and ensured nothing fell through the cracks. She is incredibly professional, laser-sharp, and just tough enough to hold her own while being fair, kind, and thoughtful throughout. A classic New York cookie--tough on the outside, sweet on the inside. If you want someone who truly has your back and will fight for your best outcome with grace and grit, hire Anne. Working with her was the smartest decision I made.

We highly recommend Peter Cossio of HRG if you're considering selling your house in Hoboken. The…read moreprocess of putting your home on the market is always stressful, but with Peter we felt confident about the plan, the marketing and the successful sale. Our 150 yr old row house, previously converted to a 4 family, with driveway, garage and rear carriage house required a strategic analysis and creative marketing plan. Peter's deep understanding of Hoboken real estate and big picture market trends were invaluable in bringing the property to market and then contract within weeks. Peter was professional, straight forward and transparent about his process as he guided and advised us on every detail along the way. He counseled us on how to prep the property and was a great resource in helping us find just the right people to work with. Peter's passion for architecture and knowledge of historic homes is infectious and a great asset in showing and selling buildings of historic importance, of which there are many in Hoboken. We highly recommend him. Ada + Jon
