Mark Nolan set up a Roth Solo 401k for me and did a good job up front. They charge an annual fee to file for you each year. The first 3 years I was way under the minimum in my 401k and didn't need to have anything filed, so I didn't pay the annual fee to have them file. Since then I realized I did need their help badly to straighten some things out. I sent an email explaining why I didn't pay the annual fee and said I would be happy to pay for the years where they did nothing to bring my account current and would be a loyal customer. Mark's response: "Thank you, but once we resign from an account we don't take the client back." As a business owner who cares for my customers, I can't fathom treating someone like that.

This firm really does treat its clients like family. Any member of the team is always willing to address any question or concern in a kind and prompt manner. Comprehensive Advisors conducts many informative workshops throughout the year. They range from how to navigate the minefields of social security, Medicare, the new Trump administration and changes it may yield, taxes in retirement, how to avoid probate, etc. This firm continually strives to ensure that its clients and friends receive pertinent information to help navigate their financial futures. I would like to conclude with the statement, that I became a Comprehensive Advisor client in November 2022. I interviewed a total of FIVE financial advisors, and Brett far outpaced the competition. I know that I made the right choice to hire him and his firm. I feel secure and yes even blessed that my financial future is secure in his firm's hands. THANK YOU!!!!

Although I am not reviewing as a client, I am leaving this review as a future client of Root…read moreFinancial Partners. If you're reading this, then most likely you are on the journey in getting better informed financially for retirement. And because you're looking up Root, then most likely you ran across videos of Ari and/or James on YouTube just like me, or on Podcast. When I initially started researching retirement for my wife and myself, I was fortunate enough to have "the algorithm" direct me to Root with James and Ari. The more I watched their videos, the more I became informed of answers to questions I did not know I had. What really drew me in to watch more of their videos, was their holistic approach to retirement, which was an option I was never aware of. And combine that with their ability to explain complicated strategies using their software with real case studies was a bonus. Anyways, back to the review... I reached out to Ari directly via email, and to my surprise, he responded directly to me (I was expecting a form letter). He personally answered the general questions I had and we scheduled a meeting to determine if they can bring value, to justify their fee structure. Unfortunately, when he reviewed my current portfolio structure/allocation in detail, he was honest and said they could not bring value to justify their fees. He then proceeded to offer some guidance to other advisors they recommend, and further explained how specific advisor strategies would be better attuned to my needs in the near term. I really appreciated his candor... But what really stands out is his willingness and continues to help as much as he can, of course without providing specific investment guidance. Up until now, even though I'm not a client, he continues to take the time to respond and answer questions I have from time to time. And not just basic answers, but simplified, detailed video explanations for a better/easier understanding. I can go on with this review, but after a while, it might sound too good to be true. All I can say is reach out to Ari (Root), and you'll see what I mean. Once we're closer to retirement and can take advantage of the holistic approach they provide, we'll be sure to reach out again. Thanks again Ari!

It is now the middle of the month and they are going to "try" to get it expedited by getting a fixer assigned in 7 instead of the now normal 21 days. It seems that they have a magic time machine to go backwards. This all has to do with transferring the assets in the account to my name from my deceased wife. Sooo there is no question of the outcome except this............. In the mean time the funds are not being productive for me and since Schwabb is doing this to many others how much are they increasing their own profits by collecting interest on the funds? I wonder if this is a case of incompetence or corruption? This company appears to be limping along and perhaps it is ready to go out of business.
