In under 6 months, Colin's plan has put us on a very comfortable path. With his guidance, we paid off debt, reallocated funds, and developed a more-than-adequate retirement budget.

Biggest factor in leaving was no communication on how funds were doing. Are they doing better, worse or the same as a non actively managed account? I never knew! The only regular updates I received were bills. In order to know any changes in your account you have to send an email and request specifically what you want. No regular, periodic emails sent showing status. Nope, just the bill. So I wish I could tell you if it was a benefit or not to have an actively managed account but I know less now on than I did previously. So overall kinda disappointing. I guess I assumed I would receive information on how my account was doing & hopefully better to justify the fee, but that just never happened. Nice and trustworthy guy but knowing how the account is doing is more important to me than having a 'nice guy' in my contact list. I'm honestly a bit bummed. The quest continues!

Chris was friendly, energetic and very knowledgable about everything we threw at him. He was great about pausing to make sure he'd answered all of our questions before he moved on. We spent a good amount of time looking through our retirement accounts, investments, savings, budgets, loans, and goals. Chris sat with us at a big, round table and wrote down tons of notes as we went. He walked us through his calculations for investments and pointed out some huge fees we could avoid. He found us savings and suggested we open a few new accounts to make our money work harder. He definitely did not push any product, company, or anything. He went so far as to tell us to come back to see him only for big financial events. I will be coming back, though! I walked out of the meeting feeling very happy. Chris was honest, helpful and thorough. I have a better grip on my financial standing and a solid plan for investing. Thanks, Chris!

Jessica has been my financial advisor for the last five years and continues to be so. She is…read morealways available if I had any questions or need advice. She has advised me through many of my life's major transitions: Single Life, Married Life, Starting a Business, and Long Term Traveling. I met Jessica when I was single. I was financially unorganzied and only had a checking and savings account. With her help, she got my finances in order by diversifying my savings across many different products & platforms and helped me set up financial goals. When I got married, she helped me with the transition and guided us with merging our finances together (a daunting task for any couple, which made our lives easier). She helped advise us on some products that would benefit a married couple, made sure that we were financially secure, and offered advices on other areas that we should be concerned about. When I started a small consulting company, Jessica helped me with the finances of getting a new business off the ground. She created a business account for me and worked to diversify the business income and a retirement savings plan. Most importantly, Jessica's helped us plan out our year long travel/career break. She worked with us to make sure we were financially ready for us to quit our jobs and travel on our savings without depleting it completely. Jessica worked with us on establishing a budget and a stretch budget (since traveling long term is unlike traveling for vacations). She was alway available to us while we were on the road if we needed any information or to make a transfer of funds if we needed it. She was a great asset to have while we were on the road. It help us enjoy our travel with one less thing to worry about.

I was pretty intimidated with the idea of meeting with a financial planner, initially. In fact, I really didn't feel ready! I was pretty sure that I would want to have a lot more money in my bank accounts before "planning" would make any sense. Boy was I wrong! As Jessica helped me understand, it is important to plan from the beginning, even before you start making big investments or before your business takes off, so that you can build on a solid foundation. Jessica is easy to talk to, and helps me understand why what I do today is important for my future, and the future of my business. Now when I think about my finances, I don't immediately start having palpitations, because I know I have a plan in place and Jessica is helping me! I can rest easier. I highly recommend working with Jessica Merino, even before you think you are ready!
