GBPractical, Helpful and Actually Ethical Advisors Greg is a KING. If all of the employees at Advisor are as helpful, practical, polite, and non-judgmental as him, you will never have a bad experience here. I am newly unemployed with horrible credit card debt and was about to sign up for a very predatory lending service to keep my payments from consuming me. He steered me away from that and into a reasonable balance transfer option that shot my credit score back up, saved me probably thousands in the long run, and minimized my monthly payments. AND he advised me for free given my current unemployment status. Will definitely be returning for advice from him and the team once I'm employed and earning again. On top of all this, he was just a funny, decent person to talk to. Not boring and hard to understand the way I thought most financial advisors would be. This is a business with a heart and moral compass unlike so many others in the personal finance space.

GBGood Service We have enjoyed working with our Advisor over the last year or so. It did take some time to get all the accounts set up, but it's been nice to have someone else managing our investments according to our values. It was great to have a third-party giving us tips and advice on some of our financial decisions over the last year and it's been easier to engage my partner in financial decision making by feeling accountable to someone else! Some of the systems seem to be slow to update or freeze (RightCapital) so I probably wouldn't use it for my main budgeting app, etc. I do appreciate that we can contact our Advisor whenever we have financial questions, and he is very responsive. I think it would be great to have a lower cost option once all your systems are up and running and you are just "maintaining" everything - I am not sure the price is fully approachable for moderate to lower income earners (who probably need this service the most!).

GBExactly what I was looking for I was nervous about Advisor because they seemed new and didn't have many reviews, but I'm glad I took the risk because they're exactly what I needed. My advisor is super attentive and qualified and seems to care about my goals - not just how much money he'll make from me. When I tried working with another advisor a friend recommended, I felt they didn't care much about me or how I felt about my investments. It seemed like his primary interest was throwing me in a pre-fab portfolio and giving me 30 minutes of his time once a year. From the jump, Advisor has been different - their onboarding process was simple yet thorough. Now, I'm confident in my strategy with each paycheck vs. having a million different accounts with little to no plan. My wife is also super happy that our advisor actively includes her in our conversations and takes the time to explain what we're doing/teach us vs. our old guy who would act like it was an inconvenience to explain things more than once to us or in plain terms. It's not a cheap service, but I've gotten tons of value in return.

GB5 out of 5 Best investment I have made in myself in a long time. I am feeling more confident about my financial future than I ever have - Having someone to discuss financial options with is a must have and that is just one of the perks of Advisor.

GBAll around great experience The team at Advisor were warm and friendly from the get go. They were clearly knowledgeable and experienced in what they do but never pushed to make a sale. After working with them, I found that the way in which they work with my life and financial goals sets them apart from other financial advisory services. The fact that these services now include tax preparation is just icing on the cake.
