I called David today, after going through a rough patch yesterday when my small business was…read moretemporarily banned from Mailchimp. I realized it was time for some outside assistance. I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

Laurie has been my leadership and personal development coach for almost three years. In that time,…read moreshe has been an invaluable source of insight and support through some of my hardest experiences, decisions, and life transitions.

I started surfing. I tasted honey at farmers markets. I made big life changes that reminded me of who I truly am inside, instead of trying to satisfy the external pressures of Silicon Valley. "Not just a coder are we, no, we are artists, adventurers, explorers of the unknown," to borrow a line from a famous rat cartoon. If you decide to work with Laurie, and allow yourself to do what she asks of you, and persist, there is no doubt that your life will improve significantly. It isn't about getting the job of your dreams. It's about getting the life you were meant to live. Escape the Borg. Let Laurie breathe your humanity back into you! America deserves a breath of fresh free air again.

I had passions and ideas but no framework for sorting through them. That's exactly where Brandy excels. She brought structured thinking and concrete frameworks to our sessions that helped me cut through the noise and actually make decisions. Beyond being an incredibly capable and intelligent individual, Brandy is kind, funny, and understanding. The progress I've made has been remarkable. I'm now actively prototyping different career paths at once: pursuing a Master's in Art Therapy, working at a high school in San Francisco, and doing strategy & operations consulting for Planned Parenthood affiliates. I was hesitant to invest in coaching, but I no longer have any reservations about that decision.

He's incredibly thorough and detail-oriented - he double and even triple checks everything to make sure your return is accurate and that he has all the right information. He's also very responsive and flexible with scheduling, which has made it easy to fit tax meetings around a busy workday. Chris really shines with more complex situations. He specializes in startups and equity compensation (ISOs, RSUs, etc.), as well as investment portfolios, so if you work at a startup or have a more complicated tax situation, you're in great hands. He takes the time to walk through everything, explains complex issues clearly, and makes the whole process feel much less stressful. He goes above and beyond by looking at prior years and making amendments if necessary to put you in a better position for future tax years.
