George is Uh-Mazing! He's been my finance guy for several years. I went in knowing zilch about…read moreinvestments or how to deal with money at all and he's always been very patient to explain and assist where I'm lacking. I feel confident having him as an advisor as I know that he will help me with making the right choices. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that is seeking a hand in investments, or to start a retirement account (as I finally did.) I have moved several times since turning my account over to him and despite living in another state I have continued to work with him. Both George and Lynette are great at communicating and keeping you up to date with everything that's going on and making sure you and your accounts are in tip top shape. Thank you for all that you do!

If you are looking for a Financial Advisor, I highly recommend you work with Dawn Blocker. She is…read moreamazing! Dawn has multiple decades of experience in advising individuals on how to save for college, invest their portfolio properly, and plan for retirement. Dawn helped my wife and I setup accounts for my daughter and is fantastic to work with. She is consistently available through phone, email, and text, and works hard to ensure your questions are answered and you have the right information. Dawn was great at following up with us throughout the entire process to ensure we felt comfortable with the approach she recommended and agreed on the investment strategy. She genuinely cares about her clients and it's evident. I highly recommend Dawn for all of your financial planning needs.

I began working for Acumen in East Mesa in March 2022. I have been a trainer before and found that…read morethe training was thorough and not overwhelming. They took it step by step and catered to my style of learning. I appreciated the support from day one. The numerous different ways that they set me up to learn the process helped me so much. Then they didn't just let me loose, they stayed by my side until I was comfortable, and right there to answer any questions. My new coworkers are awesome as well, very helpful and caring!! I feel so much support here and everyone on my team is positive and happy. It says something about a company with so many long term employees. I know they are trying hard to resolve each issue the best they can, because this is how they have trained me. I seriously want to make a difference!

The communication from Acumen's payroll department is completely nonexistent. I had regular hours…read moreand sick time submitted that apparently weren't "properly done" according to them, but they never notified me of any errors. Instead, they just marked everything as approved and processed in the system, but the money never arrived when it was due. This is not the first time my pay has been messed up, and it is not the first time Acumen has caused me to be late on my bills. They are messing with people's livelihoods and they simply do not care. Caregivers have bills to pay and cannot afford these dishonest payroll games. The state seriously needs to get involved and audit this company.
