There is nothing good to say about Curt Williams. He is not helpful at all in doing personal or…read morecompany taxes. He never goes the extra mile to ask questions or give you information on how to get a better refund. He always acts as if what ever you are doing is bugging him and he has better things to do with his time. His rates continue to increase at a high rate each year, even when taxes might not need as much as previous years. As for friendly, it is not in his vocabulary. Go online to H & R block and do your taxes personally and get your money back in a few days, with 1/8th of the cost.....and a bigger refund! At our old tax place we at least had forms to fill out and check lists to help, nothing here is helpful, at all. Go anywhere else.

I had a Power Plan Session with MicKallyn earlier this week. I was not sure what to expect, but…read moresomeone I trust recommended her. I have a lot of anxiety around finances, and not only did she address that anxiety, she helped alleviate it. Coming out of our two hour session, I have tools to move forward with my budget and to manage my money better. She is very understanding and easy to talk to. Her methods are simple, but make a lot of sense. I am looking forward to starting her six month coaching class soon! If you are on the fence about a financial coach like I was, I urge you to take the plunge with MicKallyn. I was looking for a way forward with a financial issue I was having. She was able to not only give me guidance on the issue, she made me feel confident in my ability to change my habits.

My husband and were looking to work with a fee-only CFP in 2014. We ended up working with Jennifer…read moreand it was such a valuable process. We got married a few years ago and had a lot of questions--about retirement planning, taxes, how our home equity figured in, how much we should think about spending on renovations, and cash savings vs. market investing. She also helped us shape up our 401(k) allocations and think about our estate plan. Jennifer's a great teacher--she patiently led us through making more informed decisions and pointed out the things we weren't thinking about but should be. Now we feel like we're on the same page and we get how the pieces go together into the big picture, which is really reassuring. We also appreciated how transparent her fees were and felt the cost was really reasonable compared with other local CFPs we considered. We're really glad we found Jennifer and plan to continue working with her.

My wife and I have been getting advice from Jennifer for a year, and we really like her. She's been…read moresuper conscientious about answering questions I've emailed her between appointments, and she's held our hands as we've executed the plans she helped us develop--without any cajoling or intimating that we were being too cautious. She has a detailed questionnaire she gives you before you even meet for the first time, which lets her know from the outset about your money-managing history, and about your attitudes and aspirations with regard to risk and reward. We feel we've benefited from her help a lot, and have come to think of her as a friend. I can also say I shopped around before choosing her, and considered her rate comparatively cheap.

Note, the one star, it actually should be none but have to rate it to make a review. We should have been more careful when Mr. Stutes advised us that he didn't want anything in writing.

While my needs aren't quite in line with David's central specialties (I'm also outside of his typical client age range), he was more than willing to have an honest and engaging conversation with me to help point me in the right direction. I could easily tell that David is a measured, articulate advisor even after only speaking with him briefly. I felt comfortable sharing information about my financial situation as well as my aspirations, and received the assurance I was looking for to make decisions I'd been struggling to make on my own. If you find yourself even unsure about whether or not you should reach out, hesitate no longer. You have nothing to lose and I'd wager a great deal to gain.

They are helping me make some educated decisions to set myself up for a strong financial future. I have never felt pressured into any decisions that's not in my best interest.

The only reason I gave a rating of "five" is because there isn't an option to give SIX!…read more My wife and I have had a lot of experience over the last 23 years buying and selling properties. We had been watching property in a very specific part of town for nearly two years. As our country's financial outlook began to turn gloomy, we decided we'd better pull the trigger quickly before rates went to the moon. A friend we trust recommended Phil Gerstner at Lighthouse Home Loans. We reached out to Phil and the rest is history. Understand, we've bought and sold more than a dozen properties in a couple of decades and we have NEVER had such an OUTSTANDING experience as we did with Phil and his team. We thought for certain we'd waited too long and would pay the price through high rates. Phil shopped our loan HARD and found us several options to choose from that made sense and were manageable for us. Phil took the time to teach us about the process, broke each option down into steps that helped us understand potential outcomes BEFORE we made a decision. We have NEVER had a broker take the time and spend the energy doing this before and we have come to VALUE Phil's thoughtful input. I CANNOT RECOMMEND PHIL AND LIGHTHOUSE LOANS STRONGLY ENOUGH. You will be doing yourself, your family, and your future a huge disservice if you don't at least have a conversation with him, talk about your plans, dreams, and options. Thanks Phil and Lighthouse! We LOVE our new home.

With more complex finances, we knew we needed someone we could trust and who had the skill set to manage them (a task we didn't have the bandwidth to learn in addition to our own responsibilities). Jamison Hanson was referred to us by a friend and his father who were already clients, and I appreciated the firm's methodical approach. They use a calculated risk at a level we were comfortable with at each stage of life. Money management is all about managing risk and minimizing expenses in the process. Not having a financial background, I have benefited greatly from what I have learned through our partnership with Steven Jamison. I don't feel comfortable with the black box approach to decision-making where I put in money and hopefully more comes out. At every meeting there's a new detail of the evolving tax law and our changing financial situation, which leads to a range of choices to better position ourselves in our retirement. Steven's explanations increase our understanding of our finances, which helps us make the best choice consistent with our goals. We have recommended Steven to multiple people. I believe his greatest selling point is that I trust him! With his measured approach to management, I don't feel like we are gambling; we are managing risk. Most importantly, I trust Steven to have my best interests at heart and give us the best information he has. - Will & Rebecca
