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!

Chris at FlexTax has been my tax advisor for about three years now, and I can't recommend him…read morehighly enough. 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. I originally started working with Chris based on a friend's recommendation, and after three years as a client, I'm very glad I did. If you're a startup employee or founder, or anyone dealing with equity and investments, I highly recommend Chris at FlexTax.

Seven years into my career in tech, I came to Brandy feeling stuck, unfulfilled, and genuinely lost…read moreabout what kind of move to make next. 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. If you're feeling confused, stuck, or unsure of where you want to go, I can't recommend Brandy highly enough.

I look forward to our sessions - they tend to lead me down a path that I wasn't expecting, in the best way possible. She's empowering, smart, intuitive, and organized. I highly recommend Brandy if you want to move toward a more intentional life that reflects what you want for yourself and need a coach and cheerleader encouraging you along the way.

Laurie is a hub of surreal experiences. Her methodology is decidedly not the run of the mill career…read morecoaching of Silicon Valley. Her results, if you are willing to throw yourself into the work, are decidedly undeniable. I have been working with Laurie for just under a year now, and she managed to get me to not only pick up my guitar again, but to discover a writer within me that I had long discarded. 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.

As a coach myself, I was deeply grateful for the opportunity to be a learner. I attended this workshop with my partner, who rarely agrees to attend these sorts of engagements, and he too got a lot out of the experience! Recently, I went back to the notes I took on this session and found some value gems and concrete strategies for navigating the many transitions in my life. Thank you, Laurie for your enthusiasm, kindness, and genuine love for the people in our community.

I had a complicated tax situation in 2025 involving multiple streams of income (1099, W2, 401k…read moreconversion, etc) and though I made quarterly payments, I knew I was going to need an expert to help minimize my tax bill. I learned about EAs from a community whatsapp and went in search of one. After looking for several weeks and reaching out to a few, it was Phuong's rapid response (by email and phone) and his kind demeanor that helped make my decision. Overall, working with Phuong was straightforward. After agreeing on an estimated cost, Phuong invited me to a secure portal to upload all of my documents. Alongside, Phuong provided a checklist to help guide all of the files/info that you should consider uploading. This was very efficient and helped expedite the process. From beginning to end, it took only a few weeks. It would've gone much faster, but I was delayed in uploading documents, so I caused the delay. Alongside, Phuong answered one-off questions as needed and quickly. And I had a lot of questions! But Phuong was always willing to help. The best part? Phuong confirmed I was actually owed a refund. I was stunned. Is there any better result than that? Of course, this means my quarterly payments were on target, but I'm not sure I would've reached the same result on my own. I can't recommend Phuong enough. He was fast, friendly and importantly, secure. I am certain I will be working with Phuong for all of my tax needs moving forward. Thank you Phuong!!
