I've had the pleasure of working with Garrett for about a year now, and it has truly been an…read moreincredible experience. I approached Garrett in late 2020 after a tumultuous previous 12 months. I had been laid off due to COVID and simultaneously incurred an enormous sum of medical bills on top of my typical monthly expenses. Naturally, I waited until things hit rock bottom before seeking help, but I'm so fortunate to have come across Garrett. He has the innate ability to show empathy but is also a straight shooter because he doesn't sugarcoat things. Rather than emphasizing the mess I was in, he quickly provided a bevy of solutions that we tackled in tandem one by one. It was an emotional rollercoaster, and I often joked that I should be giving Garrett a co-pay since he acted as a therapist throughout the process. Fast forward to the present day, and I've done a complete 180 financially, professionally, personally, and all of this has contributed to a happier life. I honestly couldn't have reached this point without Garrett's kindness, expertise, and can-do attitude. I look forward to continuing my growth with Garrett and recommend him to anyone looking to hone their budgeting and financial planning skills.

Thanks to Garrett's support, instead of constantly trying to put out financial fires, I'm now on…read moretrack to be debt free this year, have an emergency fund, and more consistently align my finances towards my fiancée's and my values and goals. For context, I first found Garrett while searching online for a finance coach, and I resonated with his optimism and supportive tone on his website. I proceeded to have an initial call with him, and just like the tone on his website, Garrett was warm and friendly. He was attentive, curious, and professional, and he showed up with structured programs combined with a willingness to adjust and be flexible for my specific circumstances. He clearly had the training, experience, and skills, and I got the sense he walked the talk, invested a lot in himself, and put in the work to live authentically. I was eager to work with Garrett, but I still had my hesitations. I was on track to go deeper and deeper into debt. Did it really make sense to hire a finance coach and add on another expense in my life? At the end of the day, I had to conclude that I needed additional support. I tried reading books, getting support from friends and family, and making changes on my own, and I wasn't getting the results I needed. It's as if I had tried to heal a broken bone on my own and then realized I really needed to hire a doctor. I had to admit that I couldn't do this with my current approaches, and Garrett had been able to help many others before me. After discussing with my fiancée, Jasjeet, we hired Garrett to support us as a couple. I'm so glad we made that decision. Garrett continued to show up consistently with the aforementioned qualities, and after only 7 sessions, I experienced the following results. - Alignment with Jasjeet on our priorities and financial plan which includes being debt free this year and having an emergency fund - New tools for successfully talking about and getting aligned about finances with Jasjeet - A shift towards feeling more empowered and steady in my relationship with money Of course, Jasjeet and I also needed to put in the work to show up to the sessions and do the work in-between sessions. So much credit for our success goes to my fiancée. As our coach, Garrett helped guide us with a listening ear, honest perspective, tools, and strategies. Thanks again, Garrett, and I'm looking forward to continuing our work together!

I have been stressing out over my 2018 taxes way before 2018 was even over. LOL.. It was my first…read moreyear of electing as an S-Corp. Majority of my income was coming in under my business with no taxes being deducted so I knew I had to pay. I was pretty sure i was going to owe like 10k :( .. I chose OG bc of the great reviews (thanks yelp!) Before going in I was actually nervous and a bit ashamed bc as an adult I have know idea about taxes yet I decided to elect as an S-Corp lol. Then I finally came in & was seen by Eli. Here are some highlights of my experience: Eli is very knowledgable and is able to explain everything easily so that people like me who feel like taxes are a foreign language can understand. I came in assuming I was going to owe so much bc I had no idea what I was doing or how taxes even worked.. but Eli answered all of my questions with patience even though I know I was probably asking the same question over & over lol. Now for 2019 I will not be stressed! Eli also shed some light on things I had no idea about like how putting money in an IRA can really help to save on how much I owe in taxes, and how I need to go ahead & pay estimated taxes twice a year, and other business related matters that as business owner i needed to know & did NOT beforehand. Before your appointment they give you this great "tax planner".. it pretty much lists out everything that you can & should be writing off on your taxes & allows you to put in the totals. This was so helpful.. it really helps you organize everything. I called with a question & was quickly directed to Eli which was nice bc I thought I was going to have to email or wait for a call back, etc.. Jane at the front desk is also very helpful, polite & accommodating. Overall, I highly recommend. Especially if you have no idea what you're doing bc I know I cant be the only one. I left feeling so much better & at ease after it was all over.

The office staff is very nice. For any reason if I cannot answer their call, they leave a voicemail and send an email. I never had to try to get a hold of them. I refer almost all of my friends who are looking for professional tax specialists. I had to switch maybe 3-4 tax specialists until I was referred to this office. I felt like other tax specialists were just filing my taxes before just to get over with. They never asked questions about what is coming into my account and what is going out of it and for what purpose. Since this office is added to my QuickBooks, they analyze the account activity. I have used TurboTax and H&R Block in the past, years later I realize that I never knew all tax benefits that I was eligible for. I never got any tax returns. Uncle Sam would never give me. You can use self-service platforms only if you know exactly what you are doing. My situation is not that simple, I have multiple 1099 like forms, W2, tax forms from trading platforms like Webull and TD AmeriTrade from stock trading, so I need a professional eye to go through them. They service individual and corporate clients, so I believe no client is too small or too big for them. Give it a try!

When I came to Brooklyn Plans I was looking for financial advise to help set me on the road to successfully paying off my upcoming grad school loans. Kristen helped me figure out what the best repayment options are and she helped me devise a financial strategy for saving, 401k, home ownership and vacations. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made and worth every penny. As a millennial I know how easy it is to believe that you will be swimming in debt forever.

I've taken her financial vision boarding, budgeting for beginners and investing for beginners class and have always walked away feeling less alone in the process and better equipped to really own my finances.

We agreed that I wasn't too sure if I should file being that I would potentially owe. Nonetheless I paid him $500 just in case I decided to file. Some time went by and my taxes was never filed and he never returned my money. I've spoken with him on several occasions via text messaging and on the phone. He stated he would return my money but months later it never happened. So beware of his shady business ethics! UPDATED REVIEW: Michael is full of shit (excuse my language you all). I have several text messages where I reached out for an update on my situation. He charged $250 for myself and $250 for my partner. Needless to say he never filed or submitted ANYTHING for either of us. He claimed via phone that he would refund me being as he did no work for us. Then he stopped answer his phone. I truly urge you all like I said before to stay far away from his shady and shitty (excuse my language again) work ethics. I also will upload text messages for proof that it was his phone number that I sent messages to!

Now, I can rent a decent place or get certain types of loans (but, not all - not yet). But, I'm happy. Frankly, it just feels good knowing I have good credit - ya know!? I gave them my case to work on, because I had a good intuition about Elly and Gloria; that they could do something, online companies can't. They have 'street smarts' or 'money smarts' - I mean, hey - they're Jewish (Stereotype: Jews good with money)! They answered my calls, like 80-90 percent of the time.

Nor did another person sitting behind the Schwab employee in the outer office. I had to ask him for help. I was then told by this person also sitting in the outer office that the receptionist would be right back from a bathroom break. He never asked if he could be if assistance. so I waited another 8 minutes for the receptionist to return. Second: I presented a letter to the receptionist requesting the division of a Trust into three separate Schwab accounts. After reviewing the letter the receptionist accepted the letter. Leaving me to believe that the information in the letter was exactly what Schwab needed to carry out the request. Subsequently, I received an email from Schwab with a reference number and that I was to call them to discuss the problems as to why Schwab could not process the request in the letter. The letter should have been reviewed at the Schwab office to ensure that the correct content was there prior to accepting it for processing. If the receptionist was unaware/unsure that the contents/information/instructions in the letter were sufficient .......she should have contacted a Schwab employee for the information needed to process the client's request. The Schwab employees in this office acted unprofessionally. Thank you
