I began working with Greg about 15 years ago (I can't remember the exact year). I worked with him…read moreconsistently on a weekly basis for about the first 8 years or so, and then sporadically after that. Before I began working with him, I was in search of a better ME. I was craving spiritual and personal development and had no idea what I was looking for or needed. I was very emotionally closed off, which was my default survival mechanism that I had carried from early childhood. I desperately needed to break free from the angry cynical person I had grown to become. Greg was able to teach me new tools for how to deal with life and he gave me new perspectives on situations and people. He taught me how to overcome my harsh exterior and live from a place of authenticity and compassion. He taught me how to meditate, which helped me align with my inner self. He also taught me ways of communicating my thoughts and feelings in a way that would be received more positively. He taught me how to process and heal from things that happened in my life. He taught me how to value myself and how to grow into the best version of myself. After working with him, I became much more successful in career and in my personal life. My friendships grew deeper and more loving. I finally knew the kind of romantic relationship I wanted and needed. I finally had the courage to leave a bad marriage and set out on my own. My life was forever changed and renewed. I found my power! I found my voice! I found freedom and joy! Recently, I had been going through a tough time. I was feeling overwhelmed with negative emotions and challenges from life's daily struggles. I needed some rework in my thinking and feeling. I knew Greg had been doing some new work around the 3 principles of thought, and I wanted to learn more about it. I knew that this was something I could greatly benefit from. I reached out to him and asked for a few bookings. I remember I used to call working with him like yoga for the mind, and my mind needed more exercise. It was so nice to be working with him again. I had missed that quality conversation and spiritual connection to myself. He indeed was able to give me some new tools for my developmental toolbox. I often ask myself - WWGD - what would Greg do? When I'm going through a tough time, and try to step outside myself and think about what he would tell me. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Even though I feel like I've learned how to change my perspectives when I'm having a tough time, I still get surprised by him when I actually hear it from him rather than assuming I know what he's going to say. Always so many ah-ha moments. It's always refreshing to have a conversation with him. I always leave the session with a much lighter feeling and more empowered feeling. I would highly recommend Greg for every person, every business, for every walk of life, and for every reason. His teachings are highly versatile for any scenario. His coaching style and methods will bring great improvement to anyone looking to level up their lives or businesses. He will help you to succeed in ways that simply reading books can't.

Through his guidance and the understanding of the Three Principles, I've experienced a complete…read moreshift in how I approach both my personal and professional life. I now move through the world with a deep sense of calm, clarity, and confidence. My productivity has increased, but the stress has melted away, something I didn't think was possible before. Greg has a way of helping you see what's always been within you. I can't recommend his coaching highly enough, it's been one of the most valuable investments I've ever made in myself.

On top of my side gig, I am now using them a for a new start up entity and so far everything has been a breeze.

I worked with CapFoege to organize our financials and numbers in 2018. We got off to a very rocky…read morestart as Matt their founder totally ignored all the data and information that I gave them to help them organize and get things categorized correctly. After numerous emails and calls they eventually got it right but created a lot of extra work for themselves and myself. When I followed up last week about organizing the most recent numbers the first email was ignored and the second one took them 6 days to get me a quote for something that should have been a quick email response. When I showed them the lack of correspondence via email they called and apologized but couldn't understand the accounting task and quoted an unreasonable number for the job. We agreed to part ways as my gut was telling me if were already having this many issues than it's not going to be a good fit.

So they did my taxes and did them accurately. I'm not so sure that they saved me any money, but…read morethey didn't cost me any extra either. The problem came when the IRS did not post my final payment. I received a bill from the IRS saying that I owed them over $2000. I sent the letter and the proof of payment to them and asked them what happened? They told me that I had to call the IRS to find out why they didn't post my payment. I even reverified that they were not going to make that call for me. My taxes are complicated, and I have had a CPA prepare my taxes and electronically file them every year for the past 30 years. Things like this don't happen often, but when they do THE CPA IS THE ONE WHO CALLS THE IRS ON MY BEHALF!! If there were an error on the preparation of the document, then I would have been at a loss to explain it. I ended up waiting on the phone for 4 hours and was able to get it straightened out myself. However, I am now looking for another accounting firm because this is not the level of service I require. At the same time, as I said, they prepared my taxes accurately, so I don't think it's fair to give them just one star. I'm not sure I would recommend them though, just based upon the fact that they aren't going to help you if anything goes wrong.

I was referred to John due to the complexity of my 2021 tax return, but my return was ultimately prepared by another member of the team. An error on the return later resulted in an IRS audit and over $1,500 in penalties and interest, which I paid in full. Following this, I had significant difficulty getting timely responses or assistance despite multiple follow-ups. Overall, this experience caused me to lose confidence in the firm's attention to detail and client communication. Based on my experience, I would recommend carefully considering other CPA options in the San Diego area.
