    I went to the Retirement Education Seminar and it was the best decision I ever made. My husband and I were just trying to see where we stand as far as when we could retire and the best measures for our future. After meeting with Sam and his amazing team, he advised us we could retire this YEAR and here is the road map to get there. My husband is now retired, I am going to be working part-time shortly, we are moving back to San Diego (this was in the plan) and we have our Trust, Will, and Health Directives completed as well with the help of Sam's team. They are personable, knowledgeable in all areas that you need to retire. We are now lifelong clients of Affluencer Financial Advisors. Dennis & Debbie

    We reached out in a bit of a panic as my layoff was unexpected and I was in a bit of a shock with no clue how to handle my 401K, union pension, Social Security, cash and other stocks etc. John has been outstanding and I can see why everyone gave 5 star reviews. He immediately put our mind at ease and has a very calm demeanor. His reassurance to us that we have enough money and also immediate planning for the future move to retirement in Italy was a huge weight off our shoulders. He even spoke with an Italian accountant to ensure we were making the most of and had a great understanding of the 7% tax incentives available. I would highly recommend John and his team if you are looking to partner with someone who cares about your financial future and will hold your hand throughout the process.

    Pure Financial is what is known as a truly independent financial planning, advice and services provider. They have kept our best interests at the forefront of their services to me and my wife for over 3 years now. They are very thorough in their analysis of our finances and assets, and provide a regular, up-to-date, and complete picture of where we stand in terms of meeting our long term goals. Investment and portfolio performance is reviewed with us every 4 months, and adjustments to investment and tax strategies are made based on feedback and discussion during those reviews. Pure is very easy to work with, and I trust them implicitly in managing our portfolio during our retirement. Yes, their services do cost a small percentage of the value of the portfolio they manage for you, but the cost is very reasonable given the value of the advice and planning they provide. I am a passive investor, and knowing that someone else who knows far better what they are doing than I do gives me great peace of mind when it comes to managing my assets during retirement.

    I contacted Alec Tuckman at Los Angeles Ramsey SmartVestor Pro specifically for help with a 529 college savings plan, and he absolutely delivered. As a Dave Ramsey SmartVestor Pro who gets the baby steps inside and out, Alec took the time to understand my family’s situation in Santa Clarita—high California living costs, wanting tax-free growth for qualified education expenses without overcomplicating things or risking too much. Right from our consultation, he cut through the noise and directed me straight to the best options that align perfectly with Ramsey’s advice: flexible 529 plans invested in strong, low-cost mutual funds you control (no locked-in age-based or prepaid traps), emphasizing not overfunding since the college landscape could change dramatically. He broke down pros/cons clearly, highlighted why California’s own ScholarShare 529 stands out as one of the top-rated plans nationally (low fees, solid investment choices from reputable managers like TIAA-CREF, and great performance track record), and compared it to out-of-state gems if they offered better fits for my goals. No sales pressure—just honest, fiduciary guidance from someone with serious credentials (Accredited Investment Fiduciary®, Chartered Financial Consultant®, Certified Retirement Counselor®). He made sure the recommendations fit my overall financial peace plan: emergency fund solid, debt snowball progressing, retirement on track first. Thanks to Alec pointing me to these top-tier options, I’m now set up confidently with a smart, tax-efficient 529 that’s positioned for steady growth without derailing other priorities. If you’re in the LA area (Torrance, Encino, Pasadena offices make it convenient) and need real expertise on 529s or broader Ramsey-style planning, Alec Tuckman is outstanding—knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely client-first. 5 massive stars! Highly recommend—reach out to him today. You’ll thank yourself later.

    I recently started working with Bill at AIO financial advisors and I find him a pleasure to work with. He is helpful, knowledgeable, easy to talk with, and makes the process clear. We are in the early stages of getting things set up so my review is based on all these initial steps--it has been great!

    Working with Phil was such a great experience. He was super helpful from the start and really took the time to understand my financial situation and goals. He put together a comprehensive plan that covered everything from retirement planning and 401k strategy to figuring out where to put my savings and excess cash, plus getting my investment allocation dialed in. What I really appreciated was how he broke everything down - things that felt pretty complex before became way more understandable, and he never made me feel dumb for asking questions. Overall, really nice guy who knows his stuff, super responsive, and genuinely cares about helping you reach your goals. I learned a ton and feel way more intentional about managing my money and investing for the future. I'd definitely recommend working with him if you're looking to get more strategic about your finances.

    Beacon Pointe, specifically my account management team led by Julia Cummings, are exemplary financial advisors. They are my third financial management team, and have left their predecessors in the dust. I could not be more happy with the financial returns and the level of service they provide. I have had some complicated trust and retirement plan issues to resolve, and Julia and her team have moved mountains to successfully resolve most of them. While it is always a leap of faith to entrust one's most valuable assets with a third party, I have not regretted my choice with Beacon Pointe and Julia. Its not always smooth sailing (especially in this tumultuous world), but BP's strong team and Julia's deft hand help calm my nerves with rational advise.

    This review is for Ben Rosbach. I became a client about seven months ago, and I’ve been consistently impressed and completely satisfied with his services. Not only has my portfolio performed exceptionally well, but Ben has also been incredibly communicative, responsive, and attentive to both me and my goals. When he first evaluated my financial situation, he tailored my portfolio to align with my risk tolerance as well as my short- and long-term objectives, and he also offered thoughtful guidance on managing all of my assets — not just the ones under his direct management. That showed me he truly cares about the full picture of my financial health, not just the areas tied to fees. As an officer in the military, I have unique financial needs, challenges, and benefits, and Ben has been outstanding in helping me navigate all of them. I’m genuinely grateful to have found him. I’ve already recommended him to several of my peers in the military, many of whom have since become his clients — something I wouldn’t have done if I had even the slightest reservation about his abilities. Overall, working with Ben has been one of the best financial decisions I’ve made, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
