In the course of my work, I feel like I've met at least 163 financial advisors. I chose to invest…read moremy own retirement funds with Scott Stanley at Pharos for several reasons. First and foremost, his returns on the investments he manages for me are outstanding. In the last 6 months, I've earned significantly more than I earned all last year and I'm amazed at my increases! Second, his customer service is perfection. He responds immediately to any call or email I make. No matter how I mangle my tax situation, he helps right my wrongs with complete graciousness and patience. Scott has already had me in for 2 account reviews, so I know he's monitoring my accounts closely. And he shows me in person what is going on with my investments directly and in a timely manner. Yayaaayyyy. Third, what I greatly appreciate about Scott is that he is approachable. I don't have millions to invest, or even hundreds of thousands, and I find those expensive-suit-and-tie-with-an-expensive-top-floor-office guys intimidating to the extreme. Scott is down to earth and easy to talk to, and I'm not scared to call him when I have something to discuss. I'm relieved and delighted to have such a diligent advisor working on my behalf!

Julie gives great advice and is very patient. My issue is with her is the billing. My advice would…read morebe to be super clear with Julie about how much you want to spend on her advice. We were partially at fault for not checking and rechecking how much we were going to be billed. She sent a pre-meeting form to be filled out. When we filled it out, she asked if we wanted her to look at it. I said yes. When I did that, I was, in effect authorizing her to charge us for looking at the form that she asked us to fill out. What we really should have done is ask her to ONLY look at our finances during the 1 hour meeting we had, NOT ask for a follow up to our meeting and state clearly that we could only afford to pay for 1 hour. Her fee of $900 is way morre than what we will make on the interest on the money we are investing. Lesson learned. For you, make sure the billing is SUPER clear and repeat your budget before any meeting or email. Other than that, she is super nice and very skilled.

We are so appreciative of Andrei and the entire team at Alpha Wealth Management for getting us on…read morethe right track with our financial future. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted now that we have everything in place -- life insurance, a trust, and all of our investments managed together in one portfolio that actually fits our goals. We recently welcomed a baby girl, and it brings us peace of mind knowing she'll be taken care of if anything ever happens to us. The Alpha Wealth team has been incredibly patient and kind, giving us gentle reminders to get paperwork in when life got busy. They were quick to respond whenever we needed something, even same-day tax documents, and were so understanding when we made mistakes, always helping us find solutions. It's obvious they truly care about their clients and take pride in what they do. We can't recommend Alpha Wealth Management enough to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, professional financial guidance

Andrei Jigalin of Alpha Wealth Management is a certified financial planner (CFP). The world is…read morethick with them. Why Andrei? I'm not a money guy. I don't read Forbes for fun. For my financial planner, I need someone I can trust without thoroughly understanding all the ins and outs, all the back story behind various investment strategies. I need someone who is patient and can speak plainly and clearly to me about the reasons for one strategy over another and the ramifications of any plan and guide me to the wisest choice. In short, I need Andrei. I have known Andrei for years, and during that time have often been impressed with his professionalism, his know-how, and his kind, patient, and friendly manner. Listening to his presentations before various groups has further nurtured my confidence. Now I have invested some of my retirement funds with Andrei, and plan to increase my investment over the next several years. I know that is one of the smartest financial decisions I have ever made.
