My husband and I recently reached out to Earl from Wealth Arc Investments to explore setting up a…read morefinancial advising session, and we couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the moment we connected, Earl was incredibly generous with his time, spending a full hour walking through our unique financial situation in detail. He took the time to truly understand where we're at, asked thoughtful questions, and offered a wide range of insightful recommendations tailored specifically to us. What really stood out was his ability to clearly explain technical terms and concepts that had confused us for years. By the end of the call, we felt more confident and informed than ever before. To our surprise, Earl didn't charge us for this initial session, which speaks volumes about his character and commitment to helping people. When we asked about his rates moving forward, we found them to be very reasonable, and we absolutely plan to return once we've implemented his advice. You can easily tell once you meet with Earl that he is genuine, highly knowledgeable, and truly cares about the people he works with. If you've been considering working with a financial advisor, we highly recommend giving him a call. He's an incredible resource and a wealth of information.

I had the opportunity to speak with Earl on the phone for nearly 30 minutes yesterday and I cannot…read morerecommend him highly enough! I had two main questions / concerns about my finances that had been weighing on me, and he took the time to clearly and patiently explain everything in a way that felt accessible and empowering. He gave me truly 10/10 advice completely free of charge, which honestly feels rare these days, especially when it comes to money. It's clear that Earl genuinely wants to help people and is not just in it for himself. That level of integrity and generosity really stood out to me! I will absolutely be referring others to him and will not hesitate to reach out again if and when I need more guidance. Thank you Earl!

I spoke with Jennifer roughly 6 months ago and just had an initial consultation. She was so kind…read moreand encouraging, and informative. I had reached out to other financial planners, one who never pinned down a date with me and another who was incredibly negative about my situation, and frankly scared me. I shared my debt and expenses with Jennifer and we had an honest and encouraging conversation, she even went over the 30 minutes mark. I hope I'm positioned better soon to use her services more! But it was a nice start. :)

Pathway Financial has helped us tremendously. We were late getting into the whole "save for…read moreretirement" game, and Jen has steered us right! Before we met her, we were in debt (failed business), and clueless as to our savings and 401k's. Over the last few years, with her guidance, we have gotten out of debt and are well on our way to building our financial future!

Here's an update 7 years after my first review:…read more I've been with Meagan Phelps at Empress Investments for 18yrs. It's been a Mutually Beneficial Relationship. The More Money you Make, the More she Makes. But she does Not pressure me at all. She has helped me build up financial success to the point I can retire without any worries about 'do I have enough to live on.' Meagan presents options which she feels are beneficial to me at my stage in life. And I get to choose what I want and she Never makes any decisions without my consent. I've always felt Meagan has my Best Interests at Heart and has high moral standards. She has put me in the correct portfolio after doing a Risk Assessment Questionnaire. I chose Moderate, the $325,000 I've contributed over 15 yrs since I opened that account has tripled. She has also helped put me in the correct top producing funds in my employer 401k. Prior to that I was gaining only 20-30% annually choosing options on my own. After she revised my funds 10 yrs ago, I've gained 50-60% and my total has doubled. She is a Licensed Top Rated Financial Advisor whom I've trusted and been very happy with her services over these 18 years. I'm in my early 60's now, this past year we've been reviewing my Retirement Plan. We met again just Yesterday June 11, 2026. I'll be able to draw a Healthy Monthly Income from my Madison Portfolio from the Interest alone, without even touching the Principle or my 401k. Meagan runs a very Efficient Office, her Staff responds promptly and always are on top of whatever requests I have. She has a beautifully designed Office on Larchmont which I saw built from the beginning. Megan designed it herself and its gorgeous high end aesthetic echoes her high end business practices. She also loves and appreciates all her clients, she's almost like my therapist, she gets to know you so well. Meagan always send me a Birthday Gift & Christmas Gift in Appreciation every year, which I look forward to and love. She gives us free Pumpkin Pies Each Year for Thanksgiving and sponsors Fun Events for her Clients throughout the year. Over the years, I've been to a lovely Easter Brunch Event in WeHo, Maggiano's Dinner at the Grove Fairfax , a Christmas Movie & catered Dinner at the Hollywood Silent Movie Theatre, a Fun English Tea Party at Huntington Gardens in San Marino , a Sip & Paint Class w a real Art Instructor, Last year's Christmas: It's A Wonderful Life Movie at Downtown Live Regal Theater- she gifted us cozy blankets & cookie tins, and raffled gift baskets. It was so much fun and I appreciate her generosity and her spirit of sharing a small bit of our good fortunes together! I just can't say enough good things about Empress Investments. I first met Meagan via Mailer for a free Dinner Seminar at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Pasadena. She founded the business to help Women become financially successful after watching her mother struggle as a single mom. I felt an instant connection after having a consultation meeting and felt her genuine, compassionate desire to succeed by helping women like herself to become financially secure. My instincts were spot on, I'm so glad I chose and stuck with her. It was the same year in 2009 Bernie Madoff was imprisoned. My sister & I joked and made Meagan promise she's not a Bernie Madoff Scammer! Prior to Meagan, I've had many financial advisors provided from major Banking institutions, etc But nothing ever panned out and felt I never got anywhere financially with the meager gains and services they offered. Megan at Empress has made success possible. I love her so much, Thank You Meagan!!!

Since we had never needed one before, my husband and I wanted to be sure we were making thoughtful decisions for our future.

Patrick is not only highly knowledgeable and professional, but also approachable, thoughtful, and easy to talk with. Nearly three years later, we remain extremely pleased with both his guidance and the results. The addition of Rachel Strong to the team has been another positive development. She has been wonderful to work with as well, and together they provide outstanding service and support.
