We started at McIlrath and Eck 2 years ago and we really enjoy our association with this group. Thor is amazing in his knowledge and experience. His class in retirement planning is a must! His financial planners are excellent and are willing to offer their best no matter what your situation is, putting the client interests first and make the planning process simple to follow. The support staff is truly wonderful and they treat their clients like extended family. I recommend this group to my friends and family too! read more

McIlrath and Eck are top notch in every way. We took Thor's retirement planning class several years ago and knew then we wanted to work with him and his team. All financial planners are always prepared and know their stuff, explain it all in plain language, go through options and choices. I love that Thor's firm does not sell any investment products. Highly recommend. Also highly recommend taking Thor's class if you're just getting started. read more

We were referred to McIlrath and Eck by our next door neighbors. They have been extremely pleased by the service and successes as they both entered retirement three years ago. It was refreshing to see a financial presentation that was rolled out with information we could easily understand and tailored to our details instead of the "canned talk" we've seen before at other places. We just opened our account in December of 2017 but feel confident that we're in good hands. The staff is great. The office is extremely comfortable and professional and they took as much time as needed to ensure we understood where our plan would take us. read more

We have been w/ them for many yrs thru working & retirement. They have always been honest and supportive of our changing goals. I love that they call us to meet w/ them for a quarterly review of of money matters. They honored our wish of social justice investments. Our last advisor had us in many stocks that weren't inline w/ our wishes. In other words, Thor & his team listen, we think this is very important. read more

Thor and his team are so easy to work with. They are all very down to earth and take the time to explain things, show you options, and help you prepare for the future in terms you can understand and in ways that are totally doable. read more

Lovely, caring people who have a full spectrum of user friendly information that makes it easy to understand the whole picture. They are all thoughtful, kind and considerate. Even though we have been with them for only a short time we feel confident in the process that has been presented. read more

I took a 6 hour retirement seminar at Cascadia College, one of three retirement seminars offered there ( of which I took all three), but McIlrath |Eck is the only one given by a certified financial planner (CFP), which is what I require to manage my retirement funds. The seminar was informative, lots of time for questions, and included a free one-on-one hour of consultation. I used that hour to question Thor McIlrath about his investment philosophy, and for him to explain his approach. I found his answers knowledgeable and rational and were consistent with responsible investing that would support my retirement needs as I defined them and fit my funds. As a result, I have my retirement managed by McIlrath |Eck. They use a team approach o managing my account, which I appreciate. Their office is friendly and helpful and visiting there to get business done is a pleasure. If you need a primer on retirement investing, I suggest you take McIlrath |Eck's seminar. If you are looking for responsible investment management that will sign up as a fiduciary ( this is where the CFP comes in), and manage for your best interests, McIlrath |Eck is the choice I made. read more
