Initially, we had some problems to work through because a tax service had completely messed up our returns one year. Tom worked to get it all cleaned up.

We've found it easy to get a convenient appointment and now that they've moved, the parking issue should be much better! (the old location was horrible for parking!)

We need needed a consultation about a business venture we were about to start. I emailed Nikki and…read moreshe answered back quickly, and got us in within the same week. The office was in a charming historic building in down town Providence. Everything from the hallways to the elevator to the pendulum clock in the office just reminds of a more classical time in the history of Providence, perhaps a better time. Nikki is very kind and welcoming. She has a positive attitude. We sat with her and her father, Larry. They know how to ask all the right questions and they gave us a detailed and thorough consultation. I was really impressed with their professionalism. Best of all, the consultation was FREE! And here is how I know Nikki and Larry are trustworthy. They advised us against a specific business plan and showed us its shortcomings, although they could have made lots of money doing the paperwork for us. This shows integrity. Larry showed me how to do a simple task at city hall that would cost me a mere $10 instead of something that would have cost around $1000 a year. Give them a try and judge for yourself!

Located in Cranston across the street from garden city, this shopping center has it all- one stop shopping. It houses specialty shops, health offices (eye, plastic surgery etc.) fitness, massage, beauty, and restaurants. They also house a few end stores such as Shaws- (it's a monster and has lots of prepared foods) staples and TJ maxx. It is also home to one of the nicer restaurants in RI Chapel Grille. I just recently started to come here due to my workout class and just love the plaza. It has plenty of parking even on a busy day. During the winter, the parking lots are nicely maintained, and during the summer they take beautiful care in the landscaping. For me- Small details like pretty flowers actually earn brownie points. Finally, the location of the shopping plaza is directly off the exit to the highway- easy on and off ramp to get to the major highways of 295 and 95, perfect for someone like me who doesn't live in Cranston.

I don't even think this is a real company, it all seems like a scam to me because I multiple phone…read morecalls from them every day, each time asking for a different person. If I could give them a negative star I would because this company is horrible at customer service. I have begged them to take me off their caller list and told them they have the wrong number at least 15 times and still this is of no help. I figured I would just block their number and that would solve my problems, but no, they call me from different phone numbers. I have throated to file harassment charges against them, tried to speak with a manager and nothing works. If they were truly a repeatable company then they would be able to keep track of who they are calling. This company is a joke, don't conduct business with them.

This is how Jake helped me: - Applied a holistic approach in understanding what I wanted out of life and consequently for what purpose I want to make money. He then took the time to figure out how I am comfortable spending or saving or investing money so that he could tailor my financial strategy so that it resonated with me and I felt good about the whole experience. - Walked me through everything (I mean EVERYTHING) in a way so that I not only understood everything, but was able to apply the skills going forward. He used short instructional video clips (I'm visual), applied step-by-step approaches to everything I had to get done, and made sure I had all documents and information easily accessible in my files. - Really heard me and made sure ALL my questions were answered during each session. Aside from being competent at his job, Jake is a really personable, positive, and nice to work with. He really knows his stuff and it is obvious he has passion for this type of work. For me, it was important that the person who helps me navigate my finances was competent and straightforward without passing judgment. I also wanted to feel more in control of my finances and hopeful about my future. Jake definitely hit those points for me. To say I feel elated is an understatement. I even feel smarter! I highly recommend Jake and would use him again should I need more guidance in the future.
