Financial Advising in Berkeley, CA

“Mindful Money, Jonathan + his Team have helped me tremendously with peace of mind during the downturns, and keeping my feet on the ground to stay the course in the upswings. Middle path, deep breaths, and great people for the long-term win!”

“To echo other comments, working with Alison has been one of the best financial decisions we've ever made. As self-employed parents of young children, life has been more than a little hectic. Having Alison in our corner to assist us, not only with ensuring we are investing well for retirement, but looking after our full financial health, has really made all the difference for us these past few years. Over the past two years we have: started a business, navigated inheriting an estate, set up our retirement accounts in alignment with our values, re-organized our monthly spending, set up the kids 529 accounts, bought our first home and more. Alison has helped us at every step of the way, doing research, working with us to develop plans, and making key referrals to help us (she referred us to both our tax person and our mortgage broker, who have both been great). This is all on top of the daily management of our retirement funds, which we have been very happy with. There is so much more to say, but I'll end with this: What really sets Alison apart is her empathy and communication. We know she cares about our family and wants the best for us. That finances are just a vehicle to accomplish the things that are important to us in our life. She encourages us to be organized, and takes the time to talk us through the important decisions, and also really listens. With Alison, you get not just an advisor, but a dependable, and essential partner. We highly recommend her!”

“Professional, Knowledge, Personal. Sean's been fantastic. We work well together. He has a wealth of knowledge in the industry and knows the best way to explain things so that I understand. If there's ups and downs in the market, he knows how to keep me calm. If I need guidance with something more personal, for example, a new company I was considering working for, he brought valuable insight and helped me make an informed and thought through decision. Couldn't be happier.”

“As a walk-in, I found the Fidelity advisor who pleasantly greeted me to be very professional, knowledgeable and super helpful in that he quickly assessed my situation, went over my paperwork with me, and explained my financial options. Impressive!”

“Over the past year I have worked with Sunita Joseph and Erik Erikson. Both have been helpful and professional. They have guided me into organizing my finances and making plans for the future of my retirement. I was informed about options but was never pushed in any direction. After working with them I have more peace of mind, knowledge and organization.”
