“My wife and I have been clients of SPG since before our retirement. We are very glad we chose them. Their whole team is a pleasure to work with and they have helped guide us into retirement and have developed with us a sound financial plan for our future. Our SPG manager, Joe Duncan, is always responsive to our needs and questions, and we like working with him. We feel our money is in good hands with SPG and would highly recommend them.”

“In 2015, we made the decision to partner with Terwedo Financial Services (TFS), and it has been a successful venture ever since. I use the term "partnership" because that is exactly what it is with TFS - a true partnership.We were in search of a financial advisor and were referred to TFS by a highly respected attorney. As small business owners, it was important for us to find an advisor who had our best interests at heart. We needed someone who could guide us in making smart decisions for our business and personal finances and help us plan for our future retirement. TFS provided us with a roadmap on how to navigate our finances and achieve our life goals. Being a business owner requires a unique strategy, and TFS understood that. Though they are experts in helping people grow their money and achieve long-term goals in any scenario, we specifically wanted someone who understood the challenges of owning a business.TFS also suggested a specialized accountant and tax strategist for small businesses, which was exactly what we needed. Our previous accountant fell short in meeting our requirements. Thanks to them, we now have an exceptional team of professionals who prioritize our goals above their own.Dale, Aaron, and Dessie have been instrumental in guiding us through various financial stages over the years. Their promptness in responding to emails and phone calls is unparalleled, and they are always available to address any queries we may have. Their expertise and direction have instilled confidence in us that we will be able to retire when we choose to. I highly recommend them for their outstanding services.”

“Stephen is professional, knowledgeable, and economical. Everything you want in a tax preparer. And as someone else said, has a cool office suite overlooking the ship canal. Highly recommended.”

“I am thrilled to have found Seattle Tax Group. There was something my past accountant did not understand about filing Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) which had the IRS decide to send me bills after they reassessed my tax burden for two separate tax years. Brian at Seattle Tax Group knew right away what the issues were, and within a couple days, he had worked out new returns for those two years. He saved me tens of thousands of dollars by correcting those returns. They are also very quick to respond to questions and provide information. It really is a pleasure to work with them. Beyond all doubt, Seattle Tax Group has earned my business.Friendly, responsive, effective, fast.”

“I should have written multiple awesome reviews for Ryan and his amazing staff by now! Ryan and Bob have so many times gone above and beyond to help us with our business taxes. No matter how busy, they always find a way to get us a document so we can get approved for this or that. They have met with our attorney on short notice, and priceless guidance throughout the years. We never have felt we were just a number, but they truly care and want to help us any way that they can. Recently It was their tax deadline, and of course we had to call them on probably one of there most busiest of days needing something. Even amongst their own daunting deadlines, Ryan still found a way make sure we were taken care of. Hattrup & Associates are truly a rare find.”

“I have been an EWM client for many years. I am a 30 year high-tech industry veteran but I am not a financial wizard and so I wanted to find a financial expert that I could trust to help me build wealth. I found that in Fariba Ronnasi and EWM. Over the years, Fariba has demonstrated unprecedented intuition in the financial industry and has managed a significant portfolio for me that has enjoyed continuous above-market gains. I recommend Fariba and EWM without reservation to anyone who wants to invest - don't wait!”

“James Russell PLLC handled the tax accounting for my parents' estates for which I was the executor. During this difficult time, Raelyn and Dawn at James Russell were incredibly helpful. Navigating the complexities of estate taxes is not easy and we will always be grateful for how much they stepped in with support and guidance and high level professionalism during a difficult time. This is a very high quality CPA firm. Thank you so much for everything.”

“Over the past couple of years, we have thoroughly enjoyed working with Janet Warnick at Huddleston Tax CPAs - she is a gem! She is extremely knowledgeable and helped us with easy-to-understand explanations whenever we had questions. She also gave us great advice for future years/returns. If any of my WA friends ever want to change to a different CPA, I highly recommend Janet at Huddleston Tax CPAs.”

“My partner and I walked into Harborstone Bank about half an hour before closing – the deadline for an excellent promotion featuring an outstanding interest rate in today’s CDs. There to greet & meet us was Darrel Vo, a highly organized, customer-oriented gentleman who is talented in his ability to encourage open dialog. He understands that clients need his trust when they hand their hard-earned money to his bank. He understands that as Harborstone’s ambassador, that he is the main link between his bank’s bricks-and-mortar and his customers. Darrel gained my trust based upon his actions during visit by my partner and me. He was cool, calm and well-collected. He was laser focused on what I wanted done. I wanted to open a special account on the final day of Harborstone’s promotion.His attention to detail was important given all the required paperwork. Even though he knew precisely information required from me while completing the documentation, he kept his sense of humor all the while working carefully and accurately to finish by closing time. My lack of information about Harborstone made it necessary to question the institution’s track record, financial condition, account safety, security, management experience and credentials, the bank’s investment strategies etc. Darrel responded to my numerous questions in an unusual manner. When he did not know the answer to any question, he openly admitted he didn’t know, but he also indicated that he would find the answers. Other bankers would provide answers only they weren’t to the questions I asked. Their answers were meant to distract me from what they didn’t know. It’s important that someone in Darrel’s position be “straight” with me. Otherwise I can’t trust them and can’t rely on what they tell me is true or false.By the time Darrell completed all my partner’s and my paperwork, we left his bank believing that he performed in an excellent, professional, personable, good-natured fashion. No less important, friends, family and acquaintances never ask me to recommend a bank, much less a banker. However, I will tell all those I know that Darrel served me and my partner very well. And that he has the demeanor and personality to serve all his customers well.”

“Loren is extremely knowledgeable & talented. He is the hardest working, most compassionate, and genuinely the best financial advisor my wife & I have ever worked with. We found Loren through a referral when we moved into town post Covid. He wasn't excepting new business at the time but he squeezed us in, and by no means does it feel that way. Loren takes his time when speaking with us, as well as always doing his own due diligence prior to our meeting. I look forward to many more happy years of business!”
