As someone who uses Yelp a lot, I don't hand out 5-star reviews lightly, but Christine Teh…read moreabsolutely earned this one. I reached out because I'm working hard, but still not seeing enough in my paycheck to get ahead. Christine immediately spotted things I completely overlooked, including helping me adjust my dependents correctly, which honestly made a noticeable difference in my overall paycheck. That alone took a huge amount of stress off my shoulders. What I appreciated most was how professional and down-to-earth she was throughout the whole process. No pressure, no talking down to me, no "finance influencer" gimmicks. She explained everything clearly and gave practical advice that actually applies to real life. She also helped me focus on budgeting in a way that finally clicked for me. Not restrictive. Not unrealistic. Just smart habits and structure that made me feel more in control of my finances, rather than constantly reacting to bills and expenses. You can tell Christine genuinely cares about helping people improve their situation, not just selling a service. She's knowledgeable, patient, professional, and easy to talk to, which makes a huge difference when discussing personal finances. If you're trying to improve your finances, better organize your budget, or simply understand where your money is really going, I highly recommend hiring Christine Teh. Definitely a well-earned 5 stars from me.

First and foremost, his returns on the investments he manages for me are outstanding. In the last 6 months, I've earned significantly more than I earned all last year and I'm amazed at my increases! Second, his customer service is perfection. He responds immediately to any call or email I make. No matter how I mangle my tax situation, he helps right my wrongs with complete graciousness and patience. Scott has already had me in for 2 account reviews, so I know he's monitoring my accounts closely. And he shows me in person what is going on with my investments directly and in a timely manner. Yayaaayyyy. Third, what I greatly appreciate about Scott is that he is approachable. I don't have millions to invest, or even hundreds of thousands, and I find those expensive-suit-and-tie-with-an-expensive-top-floor-office guys intimidating to the extreme. Scott is down to earth and easy to talk to, and I'm not scared to call him when I have something to discuss. I'm relieved and delighted to have such a diligent advisor working on my behalf!
