My husband and I recently reached out to Earl from Wealth Arc Investments to explore setting up a…read morefinancial advising session, and we couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the moment we connected, Earl was incredibly generous with his time, spending a full hour walking through our unique financial situation in detail. He took the time to truly understand where we're at, asked thoughtful questions, and offered a wide range of insightful recommendations tailored specifically to us. What really stood out was his ability to clearly explain technical terms and concepts that had confused us for years. By the end of the call, we felt more confident and informed than ever before. To our surprise, Earl didn't charge us for this initial session, which speaks volumes about his character and commitment to helping people. When we asked about his rates moving forward, we found them to be very reasonable, and we absolutely plan to return once we've implemented his advice. You can easily tell once you meet with Earl that he is genuine, highly knowledgeable, and truly cares about the people he works with. If you've been considering working with a financial advisor, we highly recommend giving him a call. He's an incredible resource and a wealth of information.

I had the opportunity to speak with Earl on the phone for nearly 30 minutes yesterday and I cannot…read morerecommend him highly enough! I had two main questions / concerns about my finances that had been weighing on me, and he took the time to clearly and patiently explain everything in a way that felt accessible and empowering. He gave me truly 10/10 advice completely free of charge, which honestly feels rare these days, especially when it comes to money. It's clear that Earl genuinely wants to help people and is not just in it for himself. That level of integrity and generosity really stood out to me! I will absolutely be referring others to him and will not hesitate to reach out again if and when I need more guidance. Thank you Earl!

I had a great experience working with Jerry at Exact Tax. My tax situation was pretty complex and…read moretook quite some time to sort through, but he was patient, thorough, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He took the time to answer all of my questions--not just about my current filing, but also about strategies for both my business and personal taxes moving forward. I never felt rushed, and he made sure I fully understood everything along the way. I'm really glad I found Jerry and decided to make the switch from my previous tax preparer. It was absolutely the right decision. Highly recommend him if you're looking for someone knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping you long-term.

He patiently explains everything about my taxes in detail and answers my many questions without judgement. He always has a smile and is a funny guy which makes doing my taxes fun and painless. I highly recommend Exact Tax for your taxes and I highly recommend asking for Nathan to handle your taxes!

Ryan is a kind, honest, and communicative financial advisor. I have recommended him to several…read morefriends and family members. He has taught us so much about money, and has really assured us that we can achieve our goals. My husband and I are both risk adverse hard-workers. We always err on the side of caution, while trying to align things to our own personal beliefs. Here are the best things about working with Ryan for almost three years: - He takes on the work of researching and organizing information for major purchases and life events. You describe your wants, needs, and concerns, and he can help guide you towards the best decisions for your family financially. He put things in visuals and charts! - He is very understanding. Personally, I don't want to invest in things that have to do with guns or war. He ensure this. - He knows a lot about trends and long term things. He's been a well-trusted financial planner for years. I trust professionals over myself in most situations, and your money is definitely something that could use a professional's opinion. Ultimately, he presents information in a non judge mental manner for you to make your own decision, but I appreciate his knowledge. - Flat Fee. That's it. He is a fiduciary and he's in the business of helping you make the right decisions. If you're on the fence, try it (if it's financially something that works for your budget and lifestyle). This is the opinion of a non financial planner investment person.

The way he spelled things out makes it very easy for me to focus.

He is also very responsive and replies to all of my questions either via text, phone calls, or email.

Also, without his constant persistency in making sure my loans get through, I probably would not have been able to get my loans within the restricted loan contingency time I was given by the seller.

After struggling online and on the phone about a fraudulent account for 2 weeks I was told to go to the nearest branch. I went to the Pasadena branch and spoke to Andrew Yip at the front desk, told him the whole story and showed him 8 documents I received in the mail from Charles Schwab. He was polite but seemed rather unmoved, perhaps because I was not there to open an actual account. I shared a LOT of personal information with him and he said they would look into it. I called him the next day for status and left a detailed message with a live person, but Andrew never called me back. Now I know I will NEVER open an account with this company. I just hope my review doesn't jeopardize their so-called "investigation" into my fraud issue!
