I received an invitation for a financial seminar on Oct. 24, 2017. I registered on the website and…read morereceived an e-mail confirmation from Geoffrey D. Powers, the marketing manager, on Oct. 5. On Oct. 24 my husband and I arrived to the seminar and were told by Geoffrey that we are not in the list because someone from the company called us and we did not respond to the call. He even told they called 3 times. When I asked when, he looked in his notes and told we were called on Oct. 18. He did not allow us to stay at the seminar even though it looked like there were few people who did not show up. There was no single phone message or voice mail left from anyone from the company. Even worse, there was no calls from the company at all - I checked all my phone log records not just for Oct. 18, but for 17th and 19th. So Geoff plainly lied to us. There was another couple who came to the seminar and was told exactly the same thing. They told they did not get any messages or voice mails either. This is very unprofessional and unacceptable from any business and especially from the company marketing manager. I want everyone to understand and avoid dealing with the company where the marketing manager lies directly looking in people eyes!

I drove the 45 minutes to the office and the advisor had nothing prepared but stated I was doing things properly. He saw my statement and realized I was paying .65 % for my management fee and told me that they do not discount their fees. When I asked what their management fee was , he would not disclose. No work was prepared because of this. I spent 3 hours preparing for this meeting and drove 90 minutes round trip for a 2 minute meeting. This is the only company that did not prepare any financial plan trying to get my business in the last 30 years. Steer clear of this company. They only want their fees and do not care about the customer.

I'm writing this to inform those considering Matrix III to reconsider whom they choose for their…read moretaxes. Long story as short as possible, they knowingly misfiled my wife and I's taxes and the IRS sent us a collection notice for $1,878 in which Matrix III accepts zero responsibility. Huge issue for most anyone, and when you're a medically retired Marine and on a fixed income with a recent newborn it definitely stings especially when you pay a tax service company to properly file your taxes. In calling Matrix III they don't accept responsibility and Linda will sit there and argue with you. Steve was nice to my wife when she called, but again, zero acceptance for the issue his employee made. Both Linda and Steve claim that they have marked in their notes that they informed us that IRS could come back at us saying I didn't provide all paperwork to them. Which is a blatant lie because neither my wife nor myself would have run this risk. I don't know how their notes are saved, but since I called a couple days and Linda was working alone, I think the possibility of updating notes could be possible when you are informed of an issue. Notes aside, you'd think being the tax professionals that they would refuse to submit any taxes to the government until they had all the paperwork in hand to verify all their submitted information was correct. Also you'd think that since they knew information was missing since Linda admitted that on the phone for which all phone calls I make on my phone are recorded, they'd have us sign some sort of documentation saying information x was discussed but not presented and any issues that may arise are not the fault of Matrix III. But instead they mark it in their "notes" that you never see or acknowledge that that's what you actually talked about when your taxes are prepared prior to any issue arising. Again, they clearly knew that they didn't have some income records because Linda admitted that, and again I ask, what professional submits wrong tax filings? Please note, that I get a medical retirement from the VA and also Social Security disability due to combat related injury. The VA pay is not taxable income and social security wasn't taxed either prior to my wife and I getting married. So I was under the impression that it would all be none taxable again for 2015 which is the year my wife and I got married. This is why they didn't have all income documents. Linda never mentioned or took the time to explain about it prior to speaking with her after the IRS collection letter was sent. Again, I have a call recorder on my phone that records every phone call (not just for this issue) and she admitted that I told her what pay I received. I'm straightforward with nothing to hide so when the topic came up I explained what pay I received and why I didn't have my paperwork for my income and only my wife's. The guy we used this year asked to see my paperwork so after we left I sent it to him but didn't really know how it affected our taxes. Also, don't expect any timely calls back or acknowledgement of receipt of information. In one of the pictures you can see that Linda tried to call me on April 17th... the day before taxes were due this year to see if we were coming in to have our taxes done. But also, I called May 22nd to inform them of the issue I just explained here and emailed some information after that phone call. On May 30th I still hadn't heard anything, with the 29th being a holiday so I doubt they were in office and don't consider that a working day (as expected on a holiday), so I had to call on the 30th at nearly 2pm to find out what was going on.
