GBExactly what I was looking for I was nervous about Advisor because they seemed new and didn't have many reviews, but I'm glad I took the risk because they're exactly what I needed. My advisor is super attentive and qualified and seems to care about my goals - not just how much money he'll make from me. When I tried working with another advisor a friend recommended, I felt they didn't care much about me or how I felt about my investments. It seemed like his primary interest was throwing me in a pre-fab portfolio and giving me 30 minutes of his time once a year. From the jump, Advisor has been different - their onboarding process was simple yet thorough. Now, I'm confident in my strategy with each paycheck vs. having a million different accounts with little to no plan. My wife is also super happy that our advisor actively includes her in our conversations and takes the time to explain what we're doing/teach us vs. our old guy who would act like it was an inconvenience to explain things more than once to us or in plain terms. It's not a cheap service, but I've gotten tons of value in return.

GBGood advice, busy slow Good advice, slow to respond. Has taken longer to get going than I was anticipating.

GBComfortable and confident, highly recommended My advisor has truly taken the time to learn my history, my current financial situation, and my short and long-term goals for the future. The organization has taken the time to make sure that I feel comfortable and confident not only in the service is being provided but in, the financial recommendations. I have regular check-in’s with my advisor and I’m recommended a diversified list of investment opportunities not just stocks and bonds. I would recommend to anyone, regardless of their financial fluency, who is looking for a trusted advisor that will make recommendations and give options for their specific situation, and not an out of the box solution used for all clients.

GBGood Service We have enjoyed working with our Advisor over the last year or so. It did take some time to get all the accounts set up, but it's been nice to have someone else managing our investments according to our values. It was great to have a third-party giving us tips and advice on some of our financial decisions over the last year and it's been easier to engage my partner in financial decision making by feeling accountable to someone else! Some of the systems seem to be slow to update or freeze (RightCapital) so I probably wouldn't use it for my main budgeting app, etc. I do appreciate that we can contact our Advisor whenever we have financial questions, and he is very responsive. I think it would be great to have a lower cost option once all your systems are up and running and you are just "maintaining" everything - I am not sure the price is fully approachable for moderate to lower income earners (who probably need this service the most!).

GBWorth It The team at Advisor took time to understand my goals, assess my financial situation, then gradually work with me to make changes I am comfortable with. They have helped me see ROI way past the initial year fee in year 1. Takes $ to make $ and after paying their price I got more back than I put in!
