We have just begun our relationship with Shankland Financial through the Fed Impact series of…read moreretirement seminars. Our representative is Alden Burnett. I appreciate his authenticity and obvious intelligence. He works with facts and doesn't make promises about the outcomes. I had been exceptionally nervous about the idea of financial services, I am in my mid 50s and just never trusted the industry. They always came across as slick. I had no direct experience and always thought they were for rich people who could take $500 K and risk it on "chinchilla futures" . I look forward to having Alden as a sounding board and a trained expert to help guide us on future decisions in investments and retirement planning.

I've used Tim Obrien for several years as my corporate accountant. I found him to be very…read moreprofessional. He found some deductions for my business that my previous accountant never mentioned, saving me quite a nice sum of money in taxes. I would highly recommend him.

Tim and is associate Kevin both offered to meet with me in the fall 2017 prior to tax season. I was scheduled to meet with Tim but he was sick the day of my appointment so instead I met with Kevin. Kevin took time to review my previous two tax returns and gave me suggestions. He even made a suggestion for filing that garnered $900 in my pocket that same month without charging me a penny! That next spring Tim filed our taxes. They offered to meet with me in person again before filing, meet after the preparation was completed, and be available for questions in between. He knows Joliet area and his kids even went to the same school as mine but 10 years earlier. He called me the day he was going to submit my taxes. We are again having Tim file our taxes this year. After 25 years of filing my own taxes its nice to have them in the hands of a trusted professional.

I enlisted Rubi's assistance for real estate's tax strategy based on google and FB reviews. I…read moreshould've trusted my gut when her assistant (her niece) sent me a meeting making for a consultation for the wrong date which I called out. A day later, Rubi emailed confirming the correct date. Her email stated her assistant caught the error immediately and correct it (1st lie). I then cancelled my appt as I felt her email suggested she was not taking ownership of the mistake. If this is the case, how is she going to support you if you get audited. Fast forward a week or two, after consulting with other accountants, I felt other knowledge lacked real estate, so I went back. We set up another appt and the day prior, she tells me there's a $75 fee for her consult which will be credited towards future service. I paid through Zelle (reluctantly) and continue to get emails requesting the $75 (another red flag, clearly, they are incompetent). During our consult, I felt like I was on a service call. I didn't get anything out of it other than what services she provides etc. At this point, I knew we weren't a good fit. However, I was already in $75. So, I decided to pay her to incorporate a LLC for me just so I would feel better about the $75. Again, I don't know what I was thinking. After I paid her for the remaining balance to incorporate, she became unresponsive to numerous emails. I called her and she picked up the phone and pretended like she didn't speak English. She continued to speak Spanish and did not hang up, just continue to speak Spanish. I disconnected the call and sent a follow up email with a time sensitive deadline before filing a lawsuit. She then called after reading my email asking what's going on, what's the issue. At this point, I had nothing else to say. Return my money by this time or I will be filing suit. She did sent me back a money order for the amount however, she stated she overnighted, which clearly was a lie. It took about a week for me to receive. HEED MY WARNING!
