He and his team are quick to respond, they do stellar work, and they work with the highest of integrity. Outstanding work ethic. Responsive and available. Knowledgeable, professional, personable, thorough, and easy to work with. We've never been disappointed. Can't ever see trusting anyone else with our finances. Thank you, Bill, Michelle, Marsha, and all other team members. Roeser Accountancy is second to none. I especially appreciate that Bill's firm is privately owned and operated. I'm not fond of Fresno firms selling out to large, impersonal corporations that pretty much ensure the demise of quality of service.

I was worried about retiring and did not think I could pull off my plans of early retirement successfully. Ray showed me I could and put together a plan I felt confident about. I'm working the plan and will be on the open road soon. I really like the financial tools he provides so I can make adjustments if necessary. Especially with inflation now a bigger factor. He is a good guy to help you put your ducks in a row. I am grateful that we have LTC insurance that I set up in my 30's. It is our saving grace with the inflation rider.

She has been the most incredible, hospitable, understanding, sweet, outgoing, helpful, and accommodating person I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. She's gone above and beyond with answering all 300 of my crazy questions and communicating promptly, compassionately, and professionally. I had originally contacted them for a certain property I saw online and was interested in calling home. They contacted me swiftly and even told me about the other properties they available. I ultimately ended signing for a different one their houses than the one I had originally messaged them about and am so beyond thrilled! Venture Property Management's website/portal platform is also sooo easy and transparent, so it's really nice finally having a living situation where it's easy to see and pay bills. From applying, sending documents, paying the security deposit, and rent, VPM has been amazing every step of the way. JoAnn has made this entire move such a breeze, and I've really been worrying for nothing. I'm in love with my new rental, all thanks to her. She's a ray of sunshine and truly the best in the biz!

Terrible, terrible service! Avoid at all costs!…read more I went into the local office last year to ask for help moving some money around because I wanted to make sure I was doing things correctly when it came time for taxes. I was advised to do things a certain way and when I asked, "Wait, won't that cause me to incur a penalty?" they said "Oh, great question! no, you'll be fine" Well, now it's tax time, and guess who's facing penalties? Yep, me! I've tried calling the office and my concerns were shrugged off, "Well, I guess you'll just have to pay it then..." ARGH. Fortunately for me, my tax moves were small ones so this is a *cheap* lesson to learn, but the fact that they got such a simple tax question so completely wrong is just unbelievable. I called corporate, which did what it could to make things right, but once these tax moves are made, there's nothing you can do to "undo" them. I've called the Fresno office several times to try to speak with the branch's upper management, but they won't return my calls. Be extremely careful when working with this office! Their advice is careless, and when a mistake happens, you're on your own. I'll be taking my money elsewhere. This is too important for mistakes and misinformation like this.

Very hard to reach branch but WORSE ...I would never stick money in here again if there was a chance I'd need it or want to to have access to know or see my balances on my stocks, checking account, or ability to buy and sell as the market changes. ! Even going in the branch does nothing.

I have had my retirement plan and personal assets managed by Whelan Financial since 2006…read more Previously, I was attempting to manage my investments by myself, but I believe that having this firm manage my assets was the best decision I've made. My financial planner in the firm is Vincent Whelan; however, on several occasions, I have also met with other certified financial planners including Portia White, Stephan Detweiler, and Taylor Whelan. For the last 15 years, I have elected to have quarterly in-person meetings with the financial planners and front office staff because everyone is pleasant, friendly, and personable. All advisors in the office are respectful, trustworthy, and highly skilled at what they do. The investment committee, which includes all of the financial planners, meet and decide the funds they want to include or exclude for their clients. The firm meticulously follows the rules and regulations of their clients' retirement plans. All these years, I have never felt uncomfortable at any time about any recommendations or decisions they make. I feel as if they manage clients' money as if it's their own. I've been very happy with my return on investments based on my personal risk tolerance. I also appreciate the transparency and thorough explanations with any changes made to the investments. Overall, I have been very impressed by the attention to details with every aspect of the money management these financial planners provide. My portfolio is fully diversified and my assets are managed with discipline. The focus also is not only on return on the investment based on the risk tolerance of the client, but also on managing the expenses of the clients. From time to time, at my request, they have also reviewed and made recommendations on the 401-k and HSA portfolio with my current employer free of charge. I have been so impressed by their vast knowledge and skill of asset management, along with their friendly, personable approach that I have recommended this firm to my family members and friends.

My experience with Whelan Financial has been second to none. Portia White has been my personal…read moreadvisor for nearly a decade and has done exceptional work with my portfolio in terms of growth and managing risk. Portia clearly has a passion for her career and does a thorough job relating to me in terms I can understand. She is open to my bringing investment ideas to the table and walks me through all the risks and benefits, guiding me, and supporting me in the decision process. She is always incredibly friendly and professional and I greatly enjoy our interactions together. In addition, the attention to detail, convenient scheduling and exceptional customer service at the firm is unparalleled. I have never had to wait more than one business day for a reply to a question or a request for a last-minute wire transfer. My past experience with advisors had left me feeling rushed and at times bullied into investments that were not in my best interest. It is clear that Portia is always focused on what is best for my total financial health and has never offered me products or services that would merely benefit her bottom line. Working with someone with such integrity has left me with an optimistic outlook for my retirement planning and current finances.
