Michael came up with thoughtful, innovative ideas to handle my situation and helped me out immeasurably. His experience and relationships working on 4000 debt cases showed. He came up with an affordable, tailored strategy that helped me out of a very tough spot. Most of all, Michael cares about his clients and it shows. I cannot recommend Michael and the Financial Counseling Center strongly enough. Highest recommendation. Good people you can trust.

After reading lot of positive Yelp reviews, my husband and I booked an initial consultation for our…read moreyearly taxes. My husband is a musician who does lots of gig/freelance work and we wanted to get professional eyes on our taxes as our situation has become more complex. We had an intro call with Sandy who assured us she could help with our situation. We then decided to take the next step and provided all of our documents within their portal on March 3rd. After submitting we heard nothing back from them for weeks and so we called towards the end of the month to check in. When we did this they only then started asking us for additional documents and wanted us to reformat all profits and losses within their specific document formats despite us already providing these 4 weeks prior in our own format. We asked them if they could just use our existing documents and they said that would be an additional bookkeeper service of $300. At this point we were very frustrated that they took an entire month to tell us all of this after we submitted initial documents. We ended up filing with an alternative.

A few years ago, after receiving an inheritance, I spent a great deal of time researching and…read moreinterviewing fiduciary financial planners. Since we had never needed one before, my husband and I wanted to be sure we were making thoughtful decisions for our future. We ultimately chose Patrick, and we couldn't be happier with that decision. His focus on sustainable investing made him stand out even more and aligned well with our values. Patrick is not only highly knowledgeable and professional, but also approachable, thoughtful, and easy to talk with. Nearly three years later, we remain extremely pleased with both his guidance and the results. The addition of Rachel Strong to the team has been another positive development. She has been wonderful to work with as well, and together they provide outstanding service and support.

We needed someone we could trust, that can help organize our finances, set up some estate planning, and overall improve our financial literacy. We're so happy to have found Impact Fiduciary and to work with Chris whose always made sure we are set up for success. He's extremely knowledgable and patient in walking us through what financial decisions need to be made, and exactly what we sign up for as we look into certain investments. He's great at keeping up with us, even when we tend to lose sight of our goals or meetings. We've been fortunate to see a lot of growth after working with Chris, and it's assuring knowing we're investing with those who have similar values as us. Looking forward to working with them for years to come!

Working with Michelle has been truly transformative for me and my husband. Over the course of six…read morethoughtful and intentional sessions, she helped strengthen not only our finances, but also our mindset and confidence around money. With each meeting, we made meaningful progress. Michelle helped us see clearly where our spending was going and guided us in creating a realistic, sustainable budget that still allows us to enjoy our lives while saving toward our biggest goal--purchasing our dream home. What once felt far off now feels achievable much sooner than we expected. Perhaps the most valuable part of the experience was the confidence and clarity Michelle helped us build as a couple. Our conversations around finances are now more productive, aligned, and positive than ever before. We're only a week out from our final session, and already feel the impact of the work we did together. I'm excited to look back in 3 months, 6 months, and a year from now and see how far we've come thanks to Michelle's guidance. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Living paycheck to paycheck--despite having solid incomes and no kids--was frustrating and stressful. We initially expected to walk away with a simple budget. What we got was so much more. Michelle didn't just organize our numbers--she gave us clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. She removed the fear we had around money and replaced it with a real plan and direction. More importantly, she set us up for long-term success and a stronger financial future. We truly can't recommend her enough.

This is a scam! Like all of the other reviews, this company will reach out via a random caller ID…read morephone call. They will will say that they found your resume on *insert any job website* and were very impressed with your experience in customer service and office management (blah blah). They will mention something vague about their company and keep repeating the facts about being located on Wilshire and being in financial advising. I forget the name of who was speaking with me (I believe it was John) and he was trying to explain why I should join their company. I am not in the financial business or sales whatsoever. Why would I be the perfect candidate for this with a background in medicine and public health? It seemed fishy when I talked to them and too good to be true. Who gets called with a job offer without even applying?? Also they will not give you details on pay or job descriptions. They just want your time and money. I never reached out - or have heard of - their company. Both my brother and father are financial advisors in Los Angeles. I asked them about this company and they had NEVER heard of it either. It is NOT legit and likely a pyramid scheme. Read the other reviews for additional proof. Don't fall into their trap!

I also received voice-mails and calls from them with a vague job offer, in the financial field I…read morehave no experience in. I asked the girl to email the job description.

It's probably a Pyramid scheme. Even during Covid-19 they still scam people.
