Here's all the reasons Dave is great:…read more - He gave me a quote and listened to my situation through Yelp, instead of making me call or visit for a consultation. No one else would give a quote aside from an hourly rate. - He was very patient on the phone and explained things slowly when I asked dumb questions, but was never at all condescending. - He finished the job very quickly. - I never had to come into the office or print anything out. All documents were uploaded through a secure website. - I paid him online with a credit card. A++ would recommend.

My husband and I have been working with JB for years and can't recommend him enough. His advice is…read morepractical, thoughtful, and tailored to the stage of life we're in - early 40s with two elementary-aged children - while also taking into account our personal priorities and circumstances. Nothing ever feels one-size-fits-all, which has been a very different experience from what we've encountered with other advisors. What we appreciate most is that JB explains things in a way that feels approachable and grounded, helping us make informed choices without pressure, judgment, or unnecessary complexity. We've always felt like he genuinely has our best interests in mind.

Not sympathetic or helpful at all to the problem I have been having with my 1099R form. They refuse to amend the state that they have on there.

And it makes things worse when the person you are speaking to literally couldn't care less about your problem. Just an overall horrible experience. Really a kick in the gutter.

Would not hesitate to recommend them for anyone that needs some simplification and order with their finances. Special kudos to Brian Rogers-Botellio from the Boston office who is always most attentive and a pleasure to work with.

I highly recommend working with Eric, especially if you have a variable income and/or have specific goals you are looking to reach.

Social Security viewed those profits as income, and, as a result, cut my monthly benefit by roughly 33%. And neither of the Mayflower advisors I dealt with ever made me aware of that possibility. Had they, I of course would have insisted that those equities not be sold. So at 81 and with serious health issues, for the first time since I began receiving Social Security, instead of an annual cost of living increase, the only other source of income I have other than what my life savings is earning under the stewardship of my new financial advisors has been reduced by thousands of dollars.
