She turned my messy spreadsheets, random PayPal deposits, and 1099s into something clean and legit, found write-offs I didn't even know I could take, and explained everything in normal human language, not accountant robot talk. Thanks to her, I feel like my taxes, my business, and my bag are finally secured so I can focus on filming, editing, and going viral instead of panicking every time the word "IRS" pops up. Highly, highly recommend her for influencers and creators.

Here's an update 7 years after my first review:…read more I've been with Meagan Phelps at Empress Investments for 18yrs. It's been a Mutually Beneficial Relationship. The More Money you Make, the More she Makes. But she does Not pressure me at all. She has helped me build up financial success to the point I can retire without any worries about 'do I have enough to live on.' Meagan presents options which she feels are beneficial to me at my stage in life. And I get to choose what I want and she Never makes any decisions without my consent. I've always felt Meagan has my Best Interests at Heart and has high moral standards. She has put me in the correct portfolio after doing a Risk Assessment Questionnaire. I chose Moderate, the $325,000 I've contributed over 15 yrs since I opened that account has tripled. She has also helped put me in the correct top producing funds in my employer 401k. Prior to that I was gaining only 20-30% annually choosing options on my own. After she revised my funds 10 yrs ago, I've gained 50-60% and my total has doubled. She is a Licensed Top Rated Financial Advisor whom I've trusted and been very happy with her services over these 18 years. I'm in my early 60's now, this past year we've been reviewing my Retirement Plan. We met again just Yesterday June 11, 2026. I'll be able to draw a Healthy Monthly Income from my Madison Portfolio from the Interest alone, without even touching the Principle or my 401k. Meagan runs a very Efficient Office, her Staff responds promptly and always are on top of whatever requests I have. She has a beautifully designed Office on Larchmont which I saw built from the beginning. Megan designed it herself and its gorgeous high end aesthetic echoes her high end business practices. She also loves and appreciates all her clients, she's almost like my therapist, she gets to know you so well. Meagan always send me a Birthday Gift & Christmas Gift in Appreciation every year, which I look forward to and love. She gives us free Pumpkin Pies Each Year for Thanksgiving and sponsors Fun Events for her Clients throughout the year. Over the years, I've been to a lovely Easter Brunch Event in WeHo, Maggiano's Dinner at the Grove Fairfax , a Christmas Movie & catered Dinner at the Hollywood Silent Movie Theatre, a Fun English Tea Party at Huntington Gardens in San Marino , a Sip & Paint Class w a real Art Instructor, Last year's Christmas: It's A Wonderful Life Movie at Downtown Live Regal Theater- she gifted us cozy blankets & cookie tins, and raffled gift baskets. It was so much fun and I appreciate her generosity and her spirit of sharing a small bit of our good fortunes together! I just can't say enough good things about Empress Investments. I first met Meagan via Mailer for a free Dinner Seminar at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Pasadena. She founded the business to help Women become financially successful after watching her mother struggle as a single mom. I felt an instant connection after having a consultation meeting and felt her genuine, compassionate desire to succeed by helping women like herself to become financially secure. My instincts were spot on, I'm so glad I chose and stuck with her. It was the same year in 2009 Bernie Madoff was imprisoned. My sister & I joked and made Meagan promise she's not a Bernie Madoff Scammer! Prior to Meagan, I've had many financial advisors provided from major Banking institutions, etc But nothing ever panned out and felt I never got anywhere financially with the meager gains and services they offered. Megan at Empress has made success possible. I love her so much, Thank You Meagan!!!

From the start, Sanaz assessed my situation and addressed my concerns. Once she determined my case could stand on solid ground, she gave me clear directives on what to do and what not to do. I followed these and I felt empowered. Next, I went to work with Chris Ugarteche to prepare my paperwork. I initially filled some of the paperwork out incorrectly and Chris immediately caught this and gave me guidance. Chris has incredible patience, communication, and he knows his stuff inside out. He saw me through this novel experience with empathy. When I appeared before the judge via Zoom, I was at peace knowing that all the i's were dotted and all the t's were crossed. My case was resolved seamlessly. I only wish I had done it sooner. Sanaz's practice is busy. There were some days where I craved an update so I proactively emailed. Sanaz and Chris always responded to me quickly. I could not ask for more. Thank you Sanaz and Chris for the meaningful and life-changing work you so expertly do!

You need to be prepared and don't waste time. If you are, then ACap will provide you with a true partner that will help you grow financially.

Adam was incredible! We will stick with him for the long haul…read more We had worked with Farmers for the past 4 years and been pretty underwhelmed by their service and prices. I reached out to Adam via email after googling local insurance brokers. My goal was to see if we could increase coverage and manage to save any money in the process. Adam responded almost immediately within a matter of hours from when I sent him a message. This was on a Friday. We corresponded via email fairly quickly so he had what he needed to run numbers for us. He told me he would follow up Monday (the next business day), and he did. Adam was able to save us a significant amount of money AND increase our coverage in a lot of different ways. We had a simple call after I had decided to work with him, and he walked me through everything in detail and answered all of my questions. The idea of changing insurance had felt really daunting and so I had put it off - for quite some time. Adam truly made it as painless as possible, and now I can relax knowing we are covered.
