I feel confident that our retirement account is being well managed

Everytime we meet with Joe Beckford to review our financial plan I feel confident that our retirement account is being well managed. Its very important to me that this advisory firm understands the world from a Christ centered view being concerned for giving to advance the Gospel as well as taking care of ones own family.

They sent out enough reminders to make sure I was on the scheduled call

They sent out enough reminders to make sure I was on the scheduled call but the person I was suppose to have the call with was too busy. Their services they offered are not for me, many other financial advisors have more offerings. I would of not given a review except she sent me an email asking me how I felt about my experience with her.

We would highly recommend Justin Pitcock

We met with Justin Pitcock to review our investment portfolio. He was very professional and helpful. We had quite a few questions and he answered all of them. He goes above and beyond what we were receiving from Raymond James. We would highly recommend him.

My wife and I really enjoyed our coaching session with Ray and Coby!

My wife and I really enjoyed our coaching session with Ray and Coby! They have teacher’s hearts and helped give us some clear direction and goals to work toward with our money rather than just building wealth for the sake of it. They also provided some helpful perspective on our asset allocation. We walked out of our session with a greater sense of peace and direction than we had coming in. In all of this, their heart to help us glorify God with our money shone through. They also provided additional counsel over email after our session for no additional charge which was a blessing!

Ray has been phenomenal to work with.

Ray has been phenomenal to work with. He is very knowledgeable and personable. I have met with him twice now for retirement planning. He makes our meetings personalized to me and my specific goals/situation. He also sends me a follow-up email recapping what we discussed during our meetings. He is nonjudgmental and caring. I plan to continue working with him in the future.
