I have met with Christine Teh three times now. As a math teacher and professional, I have always…read morefelt a bit of shame and embarrassment about not being able to get a handle on taxes and finances. Christine was so encouraging. She took the mystery out of all the mess and gave me the confidence to take ownership of my finances. I always felt safe to ask any question, and she always answered in a way I could understand. This coaching experience has been life-changing! I cannot speak highly enough of Christine Teh and the invaluable financial guidance she has provided.

Christine is unlike anyone I've ever worked with. I'm 71…read moreyears old and have worked with many financial professionals throughout my life--including tax professionals, advisors, and planners--but Christine is truly in a league of her own. Her level of knowledge is unmatched, but what stands out even more is the heart she brings into every interaction. You can feel her care. She's not just doing a job--she's devoted. Devoted to your clarity, your security, your peace of mind. With Christine, I feel both grounded and supported. She holds a rare blend of precision, presence, and genuine dedication to your well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking more than just financial expertise. With Christine, you're not just hiring a professional--you're inviting in someone who truly cares about you. Thank you, Christine, for always showing up with such love, compassion, and integrity.

In the past week, two people asked me if I would recommend a reliable and honest investment…read moreadviser, so I thought I would write a review for mine. After being a stockbroker for a decade, I learned a lot about investing. On the job training taught me many things. I learned that you have to be confident to trust your investment expert and your investment expert needs to be smart and well versed in the financial markets. Jonathan DeYoe and his team of experts continually earn that confidence from me and my family. For several years, we have been clients of DeYoe Wealth Management. Thank goodness. The team at the firm care about our portfolio as if it was their own. They are on top of things and they keep us connected. Jonathan makes sure to keep us informed of changes in the market that affect our investments. He publishes newsletters that are informative and keeps us in tune with what is going on in the world of finance. We appreciate the expertise and care the DeYoe team provides time and time again. Over the years, we have transferred our Merill Lynch personal account and opened a SEP, two IRAs and a college fund with DeYoe Wealth Management. We took our time to get to know Jonathan and his associates and we are very pleased with our professional relationship. The team at this firm is very knowledgeable and we have been happy with our rate of return and results ... even in a down market. Their choices have outperformed the S&P on a regular basis. Originally I met Jonathan at a business networking meeting (BNI) and he was introduced to me by a mutual friend and client. In the last five years, I have recommended DeYoe Wealth Management to friends and I have heard great feedback from them as well. The DeYoe investment team has a terrific track record and their excellent reputation is well deserved. So if you are confused about all of the financial information you hear on the news and read in the papers, call these guys and ask them to help you understand what is going on and to get you on the right track. They will ... cause that is what they do.

Financial Planning isn't something I'm good at... Saving money, isn't my forte! The entire aspect…read moreis daunting and overwhelming to me! I've worked with Jonathan for 5+ years. What is consistent is his honesty, sincerity, and transparency in what he does. With all the ugly news of our financial systems running aground due to lack of integrity and greed, Jonathan is a fresh breath of air. Working with Jonathan has been good for me because he's firm, but completely flexible with how he works with me. He's also very passionate about what he does and that passion really shines thru. In addition, the support staff always makes me feel warm and welcomed and part of the DeYoe Family. Jonathan is my defacto Financial Planner.

Had a call with Ashley and found him to be extremely rude. He simply wasted my time and had no idea…read morewhat he was talking about. Found him to be very unprofessional and don't even think what business he is running, what kind of services he is offering and the kind of clients he is after.

I highly recommend Ashley from Arete Wealth Strategists…read more http://arete-ws.com/ HE IS HONEST AND CARES ABOUT YOUR INTEREST OVER HIS FEE What I like most about Ashley is his philosophy of prioritizing his client's interest over his. For example, I am aware that at times he has given advice to hold a portion of an investment in cash. In situations where there is a financial assessment that the market is over-valued and waiting for a an adjustment before making a strategic move, it could be very important to have some cash available to make the move. AND most financial advisers would NEVER make that suggestion because they do not earn any money on fund that you hold in cash. Most financial advisers would have you put ALL of your money in Anything so they could get a percentage / fee. HE HAS CREATIVE WELL THOUGHT OUT STRATEGIC INVESTMENT IDEAS Ask him about his strategic way of weeding out lower performing stocks in developing the the equivalent of a diversified fund representative of the market. Instead of trying to "pick winners" which is really impossible unless you have inside information, he has a creative strategy of weeding out low-performers in an overall market. HE IS GREAT AT TAKING A LOOK AT YOUR OVERALL FINANCIAL PICTURE After you go over your overall financial situation with him, some strategies that can save you a lot of money or minimize a lot of downside risk will be pointed out. He takes into consideration tons of factors, age, stage in life, family, health, underinsurance risk, and a whole plethora of things that maximize your financial health. And he'll be polite and tactful, but he'll not pull any punches in pointing out potential areas for change. I'm impressed with Ashley. And ask him for a consult and I'm sure that you will be too!

I have been working with Tiffany for 4 years on my personal finances. I can tell you straight out,…read moreI would not be where I am right now without her! I am completely organized with an excel sheet that covers incoming/ outgoing expenditures so that I am set up for recurring items, as well as prepared for one-offs. My credit cards are paid off and I have a significant sum of money in my savings (something I hadn't been able to do before). I have separate accounts such as my "weekly allowance" for things like gas, groceries, movies, etc where I can track day to day where I stand; a Vacation fund, an Emergency account, etc. It's very convenient to meet on zoom on a periodic basis to keep things lined up and flowing smoothly. The relief of knowing where I stand financially on an ongoing basis is priceless! Not to mention that she is such an easy person to work with; smart and experienced beyond general personal financial management.

Where to start? I guess by saying that Tiffany "saved" me, well she saved me loads in credit card…read morefees and saved me from so much stress! My husband had died 2 years prior and I inherited his business and some of his debt, in the grief-fog I had been making the most of those dam credit cards. I was over $100k in debt, multiple credit cards some at 30% APY and my credit score was shot. I had held off going to a financial advisor for 2 reasons - 1. I thought I knew how to get out of debt - cut up credit cards and make payments - simple (wrong). and 2. It seemed weird to spend more money when you're already in debt. But I'm so glad I did! Tiffany and her knowledge and non-judgemental approach was worth every penny (and more tbh). Tiffany provided clarity and a kick up the butt to get my debts down. Not only focusing on what I can do now, but what I can also do in the future to prevent getting in debt again. Its been over 2 years since I first met Tiffany and I can say I am debt free, credit cards are at $0 balance and low APR and my credit score is crushing it! I plan to go back to Tiffany to work on my next stage of financial growth. Do it - you will be pleased that you did!
