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!

I had been using a "basic" cpa for many years who only charged a few hundred bucks for my tax…read morereturns. As my income has increased the past couple years, I decided to use a better CPA who can provide me with the proper advice to save on taxes. In early 2022, John filed my 2021 tax return. Basically, his office staff plug in the numbers in the computer off of the docs you provide. Then John and you will have a zoom meeting to go over the numbers to make sure they're all correct. During the meeting, I asked John what I can do to save on taxes. He said "the more taxes I pay the better, that means I am making more money." He also said that I could buy a business and if the business has a loss then I can deduct taxes. I thought to myself why would I go through the trouble to buy a business and lose money. At least that was my understanding of it. The tax filing fee was about $2000 which was fine. Now fast forward to 2023, after looking into more advanced tax strategies and paying another high level CPA $10,000 one year consultation fee ( not including filing) I realized that John failed to mention or explain to me how to take advantage of cost segregation and bonus depreciation to save me tons of money. I don't want to explain how to do it to you. But because of John, I lost $100K of tax savings and $200k opportunity cost. Now I am doing it this year, but we are in a much worse overall investment environment. We cannot get that opportunity back. Disclosure: there was nothing John could've done my 2021 tax return because it was 2022 when I met him. But if he gave me proper advice during the meeting, I could have done certain things in 2022 to save hundreds of thousands on taxes. Now I just need to find a corner to cry. John is not a bad CPA. By all means, you should try him. But I didn't like his mentality that the more taxes I pay the better. The wealthiest Americans pay 0 taxes. I pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. My conclusion is that John might be an amazing tax filer. But I need tax planning. And I don't feel that he specializes in real estate , I do real estate. Now I am with a CPA specialized in real estate. My advice is pay someone 10k or 20k tax advisory fee, you have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars. P.S.: , My rich friend who sold real estate this year has a $1 million dollar tax liability. Thank God he talked to me and I referred him to the proper people. He's going to save $1 million this year. Just to tell you, if you have a large tax burden, please find someone for tax planning not to just tax filing.

I waited in line for about 15 minutes. 3 or 4 other customers are now in line behind me. At other branches, someone would come over from accounts/loans to see if they could assist someone in line. But not here. Not on this day. One lady behind me got out of line and left. When I finally got called to the teller, she had to leave the window to get more cash for my withdrawal. She was gone almost 10 minutes. If this is Citibank's way of encouraging customers to use CashApp or Venmo to give Christmas money gifts, this is the way to do it.
