I was hoping I could give this firm a good review, but I can't. After two tax seasons, I've been…read morerepeatedly disappointed with their poor customer service. Many days go by before anyone returns my calls or emails and, in many cases, I've gotten no response at all. I was referred to this firm by my now-retired tax advisor with the promise that fees would remain unchanged, only they went way up the second year. When I asked about this, they said I must not have received their letter. As the final straw, I've have been trying for weeks to resolve two invoices for $650, which I already paid. I've called and sent emails repeatedly, only to be told they would get back to me. Not a well-managed firm. Moving on.

I did a lot of research online, on the radio, read books, and took classes from other fiduciaries. Peak financial is a top notch company.

However, I met with Hanson & McClain in the early 2000s and again in about 2014 and was/am clearly impressed with their advice, fiduciary responsibility, and concern. In fact, should I become incapacitated in some way and am no longer competent to manage our retirement IRAs, my wife has clear instructions to turn the whole thing over to H&M (now Allworth). One of the best pieces of advice that I've ever received was a tidbit about something called "airtime" that they mentioned on their radio show. (Been listening off and on since the mid-1990s.)

I strongly advise anyone considering working with Vlad Donets or Solera Asset Managers to be extremely cautious, read every detail carefully, and seek a second opinion before signing anything.
