I have to say ARIVA Vita Tax Preparation has always been good to me. I have been goong here for 4…read moreyears. I would advise that you go as soon as you get your W-2. I made the mistake of going today April 14th- the day before Tax Day. I was on line at 11am and didn't get finished until 2:35pm. I must thank Jamie for preparing the paperwork and Claudia for finishing my taxes. Next time, I will be going in March not April ....GOD WILLING. I just want to thank them because I made over the income limit and they did it anyway. I'm a little sad because I can't go there anymore for the tax income limit. The good thing is the other tax location is in Morrisania Health Center down the block. THANK YOU ARIVA. They are located above SPRING BANK. Thank GOD I got my taxes done.

This is some of the best service I've received from any business or organization - and in this case…read moreit was all free. A few years ago, when I filed taxes for the first time, I went to my local library, which hosted a VITA clinic run by Ariva. They set up shop in the basement, and while it was busy (since it was mid-April), it was calm, comfortable, and organized. I don't think I made an appointment (I can't recall) yet I didn't have to wait because there were plenty of staff. My preparer, Jennifer, was friendly and very knowledgeable. In about 30 minutes, she filed my federal and split-state returns, as well as educated me about various deductions. I never imagined filing taxes could be such a pleasant experience. Thanks, Ariva & Jennifer.

Both my fiancé and I have been working with Alex for a few months now and he is a Game Changer! He…read morehelped us plan our wedding debt free, taught us how to budget week by week and to plan ahead financially, especially with having two small children. He showed us the importance as a new marital couple how strong we can be financially as a unit. He is very diligent, patient and passionate about what he does. He is not only showing you how to make every dollar work for you but changing your mindset about money in general. I look forward to achieving more financial milestones with the help of Alex. Don't hesitate in hiring him for your financial needs.

Working with Alex has changed my life dramatically! I'm thankful that I decided to make the choice…read moreto invest in myself and select Alex as my Financial advisor. I thought budgeting would be impossible for me since I typically always hated it in addition to living paycheck to paycheck at the time. Alex made budgeting and getting out of the rut that I was in seem very doable. He made saving money feel as enjoyable as it could as he holds you accountable and explained things well. Keeping my life long term and short term goals as the major vision was important for us and we did this by making smaller biweekly goals as we looked at each earned paycheck. This resulted in me being able to pay off $9k to all my credit card debt, pay a large chunk towards my parents mortgage, and create an emergency savings account (which I never had before). Not only did my bank account change, but also my stress level, whew! I feel much more confident and happy with my finances. I highly recommend using Alex if you are ready to make a huge commitment to yourself and make sacrifices that won't only change your life today but also elevate it for the future!

The police came, and later when I called Chase, first I was sent to the wrong department, then was informed that Security is closed for the weekend. They gave me an 800 number to call on a weekday.
