I wasted my time giving these people a chance to do right and turn my into a happy customer. Now, I am warning others to not wait your tie with them. They do not care about you, waste your time, and are completely unprofessional. Stay away from working with Ricky.

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.

Working with Kyle Clark has been a standout experience from start to finish…read more After a deeply frustrating experience with another financial advisor program, I was cautious about starting over, but working with Kyle has been a complete 180. From the start, Kyle was thorough and patient. He walked me through transferring all of my existing funds, helped me establish clear savings goals, and gave me concrete, actionable guidance I could actually act on. What impressed me most was his timing: all of this unfolded during a period of significant personal transition for me, and he handled every step with professionalism and calm. The results have spoken for themselves. My portfolio has reached record highs, and for the first time, I genuinely feel in control of my financial future. If you're looking for an advisor who is competent and steady under pressure, I can't recommend Kyle highly enough!

Which ones do I combine? Am I investing too aggressively or not enough? What the heck is this fund? Nick Licouris did a fantastic job - we met twice, and he mapped out a detailed roadmap for me to get my financial house in order over the next few years, explaining everything in plain English anyone could understand. He confirmed I was headed in the right direction, but also pointed out a few things I was unaware of. He also correctly predicted how many hours it would take, so the cost was no surprise. I am very, VERY pleased with the results and I've recommended him to others and will probably hire him again, once I've executed the plan.

I've never been good with numbers, so managing my finances has always felt overwhelming. That's why…read moreI can't say enough good things about Beneficent Financial. They take the time to explain everything clearly and patiently, making even the most complicated financial decisions easy to understand. When I retired from teaching a few years ago with a Golden Handshake, I had to navigate a complicated financial process. Cathy and her team were absolutely outstanding. They guided me every step of the way with professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. I am incredibly grateful to Cathy, Nancy, and Ashley for their expertise, patience, and kindness. They made what could have been a very stressful experience feel manageable and gave me confidence in my financial decisions. I highly recommend Beneficent Financial to anyone looking for a team that truly cares about their clients. This version sounds polished while still feeling personal and sincere. It also avoids calling yourself "an idiot," replacing it with "I've never been good with numbers," which is more positive without losing your point.

INTEGROUS - That is the only way to describe Joe Sirgy CFP and Trilogy Financial in West Covina,…read moreCA, our financial advisor. Not only is Joe an experienced, reputable financial advisor, but his staff is equally skilled. His upright character and masterful communication skills builds trust that has translated to $$$ for our family. My husband works for a very demanding international corporation that is draining his energy and "life" (as he puts it). We stay only for the health insurance. Joe helped us to find a solution and plan for an early retirement that will probably save my husband years of strife. Although my husband is 60 and still working, he is able to work knowing what to expect when he retires early, and now has the confidence to do so with the help of Joe. He also facilitated our relatively new marriage to transition from separate, non-disclosed, finances to transparency and merging our financial goals not only for our financial future but for a healthy marriage. And finally, not only did Joe increase our portfolio by several thousands of dollars but he did it by listening to our needs and wants and dreams, and partnering with us to build a solid financial future for our family. I have recommended Joe to many friends and family and he has exceeded all expectations.
