I was looking to buy some life insurance, transfer my IRA, get a 401k for my company and pretty…read moremuch start planning my retirement for the future. Basically all that stuff you're supposed to do when you're ready to become an adult. Am I truly ready to become an adult? I don't know but like they say it's always better to start earlier then later. After talking with some colleagues and friends to find out who they used as their financial planner, Garrett Vanneman came up a few times so I thought I'd give them a call. I'm really happy with my decision of choosing a smaller firm instead of one of the larger companies. I work directly with Garrett, who grew up in Roseville. He's also a Certified Financial Planner, which I've read takes passing a very difficult test to get the certification. He took the time to listen to my goals and checked out my financial situation and was able to help me set up the correct life insurance policies and an IRA. One thing I really liked was Garrett was able to find me a less expensive insurance through my professional work organization then he was able to find on his own. And instead of pressuring me to buy one of his insurances, he told me the other would be a better deal. So I really appreciate his honesty and that he is looking out for me. Other things I really like about their office is they are really easy to get a hold of and they always call me back or email me right away whenever I have any questions. The front office staff of Nicole and Linda are very friendly and always eager to help. Overall, if you're looking for a financial planning service or a company to help with your 401k, I would recommend Vanneman Financial Group for honest advice and great customer service.

Fidelity Office in Roseville - not good customer service experience. My wife and I went into…read moreFidelity Office in Roseville to move funds from an IRA into a cd in December 2025. The female employee that helped us was watching when I logged on to their computer and saw my password. So we needed to switch to another employee and change our password. We set-up 2 cd's and we always ask questions like: interest rate, length of cd, confirm non-callable, and if the cd pays interest monthly or at the end of the term. So the $80K cd we choose paid monthly however the maturity date was different monthly then the date the cd started. CD began on December 17, 2025 - so intuitively you would think on January 17, 2026 we would receive the first interest payment. That was not the case the first interest payment was not until February 1, 2026. This should have been communicated when we choose the cd.

At 15 minutes late, I ended the meeting on our end and called to let them know, a courtesy that we were not extended.

Things happen, and that is understandable. What is not understandable or acceptable is leaving a client hanging.

I did a lot of research online, on the radio, read books, and took classes from other fiduciaries. Peak financial is a top notch company.
