I had a few questions about the return and I will say getting a response via email was a little tough, but then last night Joe spent an hour on the phone with me talking me through every step I need to understand with my LLC.

After a Yelp search, to find a tax expert to assist with my unpaid federal taxes, and other…read moreworries, it took about 5 minutes before I received a response from Joe. I prefer to hire people who are paying attention to their own accounts as he did. Joe is charming and reassuring. Over the phone, he explained everything he would need from me and told me what to expect from him. He shared how he would help, providing best and worst case scenario. And a timeline. Joe moved away from California, but does return regularly as he's a Ducks fan and has season tickets. He may have been worth the price he quoted. I don't know. The two other quotes I got were more than 50% less than what he quoted. It does not make sense for me to pay 2x as much for somebody living in another state to do my taxes. I am writing this review because after and despite my explaining to him and his colleague why I would not be utilizing their services, I began receiving daily prompts to sign a contract. There was no contract when I let them know I would not be hiring them. Yet they sent it. It's seems shady to this old fart. The nerve!

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!

Her combination of practical financial knowledge and thoughtful understanding of our family's goals allowed us to plot a path forward that we hadn't been able to achieve on our own.

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.

So glad that we discovered Jason and Keep It Simple Financial Planning.

He has pointed out many things in the complex world of modern finance that we were unaware of and saved us from several big mistakes. Where we were once very apprehensive about if we had enough money for retirement and what to do with it, we are now knowledgeable and confident. Finances are now one of the least of our concerns now that Jason is guiding us, and we are spending our retirement years enjoying life! We have easily saved/re-invested/made more money than it costs to have Jason looking over everything for us. And the peace of mind is worth its weight in gold.

He's helped me achieve strong returns on my investments, and beyond that, he's been incredibly helpful with other areas of my financial planning as well including opening and structuring my life insurance in a way that actually made sense for my long-term goals. What I really appreciate is that he takes the time to explain things clearly without talking over you or rushing the process. Everything feels intentional, transparent, and well thought out. I never felt pressured just supported and informed. It's rare to find someone who is both highly competent and easy to work with, but Owen strikes that balance perfectly. If you're looking for a financial advisor who is professional, responsive, and truly knows what he's doing, I highly recommend him.

I get it. I, too, was clueless when it comes with financial education…read more My parents didn't teach me anything and growing up, I saw them struggled with money and for this matter, I was on the pursuit to learn so I can make better decisions for my future. And that's when I found out about COFEC (Community Outreach Financial Education Class) with the help of Sheng Vang and Terrie Bui through one of my colleagues. A few months ago, I joined one of their weekly Saturday workshops​ to help find the financial peace of mind. I was blown away by the amount of knowledge and their mission to reach out to the community to impact and ensure families get the right education with the right resources that fit best for their success. Never had I felt like this group was trying to 'sell' me anything I didn't need. All they ever wanted was to teach, impact, and clear up any concerns and guide people in​ the right direction. It sounds so cliche but you'd be surprised how many groups out there just want a piece of your dollar for the sale. COFEC wasn't that. I don't know how else but to say that I have finally found the group that fits best for me and the amount of stuff they teach you is​ priceless and invaluable. Thank you, COFEC, Sheng and Terrie for all that you do! Looking forward to entering 2019 and many other years after with you all.

I would have to say with so much conviction that their COFEC classes are one a kind. These educational classes open to the public offer so much information and value to anyone who is interested in learning about finances and learn what options are out there to better manage their financial resources. Inspired by their passion for education, my experience working with Sheng and Terrie was nothing but positive and I recommend them to anyone looking to meet with a Licensed Financial Professional. Thank you Sheng and Terrie for not only imparting your knowledge but also your passion for financial education!
