Financial Advising near Mountain View, CA

“I have been a client of JR Financial for nearly 4 years. My wife and I were entering our 50’s with retirement and life goals, but no real plans on how to achieve these goals. I interviewed ten financial advisors, and then reference checked the top five. James was clearly the best fit for our family. He helped us develop a plan that allows us to focus on living our life without stressing about finances. We have a high level of confidence in his services. After four years, we are even more confident we made the right decision.

Not only did James help us with our investments, he helped us to see the bigger picture with appropriate life insurance and estate planning. The team also prepares our taxes. JR Financial is the complete package.”

“Highly recommend coach Carrie. She is incredibly patient, resourceful, kind, smart, and collaborative. We learned as a couple how to release our historical closed-minded beliefs and find new strategies to build the financial life we wanted. We have saved thousands of dollars from using Carrie's methodologies. The ROI has been astounding.”

“Been working with Neil for several years. He takes the time to understand your specific situation, is well educated on tax code issues and makes great suggestions for future tax years! He's really friendly and personal. Truly the best!”

“We have been working with Raul (Reliantbiz) for several years. The reason that we have stayed with him for this long is because of his knowledge in tax return preparation, latest tax laws, taxes in general, investments, financial planning, and most importantly his willingness to educate us.
Raul shares his knowledge with us, he is available to listen to our concerns and questions, he returns our calls and answers our emails, and he always provides sound financial recommendations. Overall, Raul is one the nicest business men we had the privilege of knowing.
I am writing this review to say thank you to Raul and to acknowledge a small business that provides a valuable one-on-one service between the provider and the client, especially in this day and age.
Thank you Raul.”

“Several years ago I brought my extremely (bad) tax situation to Jeanine . I had not filed personal and business taxes for years ! I was getting threatening letters from the IRS and the state tax franchise tax board. She was able to recreate my books and file (or refile as needed) she took control of my tax situation and guided me step by step (year by year) until my situation was completely resolved. It was a process that took about 2 years. Today I use her services to make sure I have a professional tax preparation and filing every year. I want to thank her for her saving me from tax hell!”

“11/1/2023thinkorswimCharles Schwab & Co., Inc.schwab.com/contact-us877-519-1403This is a review for a stock trading platform which I just installed and compared with my previous platform called StreetSmart Edge (SSE), also provided by Schwab. This has gotta be a first review and I hope it will be relevant to somebody, I could have used this information.thinkorswim (TOS) is a powerful, feature filled and customizable equity trading platform that is in many ways superior to StreetSmart Edge.Trades are easy to setup from multiple places and very intuitive with lots of options available.Charting appears to be at least as equivalent to SSE with apparently many more studies available. I was able to replicate my SSE chart setups quickly.The MarketWatch Calendar is an excellent feature where you can display the dates for earnings releases, dividend ex-dates and other stuff. I had to create individual manual notes for these in SSE, a real time saver.However it does lack some key features that SSE has; the ability to display the daily change in account value (so you know how you did that day), the ability to execute a sell order using specified lots (for tax purposes, however you can still do this with Schwab.com) and the ability to display top holdings for funds and ETFs in Fundamentals. There are some minor quirks like being able to retain the number of days when displaying account information (it always defaults to 1 day when switching menus).TOS takes a little getting used to time because it is so customizable and will take at least a few days of work to get it the way you want it to look and work. Service has been excellent through the chat support feature with very helpful and responsive agents. When I first ran it, I was thinking of going back to SSE but after a little use I really like it and not going back to SSE.”

“Morgan S. stands out as the finest banker I've ever come across in my entire life. Her friendly, patient, and expert demeanor shines through in every interaction. Even when facing uncertain situations, she diligently reached out to the bank's support team to confirm her responses. All in all, my visit to this branch was truly exceptional.”

“The service here was fabulous. I made an appointment to get help so that I could change title to manage my parents 5 accounts because they are no longer able. Annie took care of everything- printed all the paperwork, marked what I needed to fill in/sign, went through all of my documents, found, and made copies of the ones she needed. They notarized all 5 documents. It was all done very efficiently and at no cost. I highly recommend.”

“I had to go into the branch to meet my new financial consultant.Very courteous and helpful staff when I arrived.I was able to get everything done to my complete satisfaction in a short space of time.”
