RUSSELL MARNE Hands down the best. I have used Paul’s services for years and can attest to the fact that he is knowledgeable, professional, and on top of all changes in the tax codes. I have referred many friends to Paul over the years and they are still my friends.

Sheryl Burford My husband and I have been clients of Beneficent Financial for the past seven years. We are very pleased with the professionalism of Cathy Downs and her staff. Everyone is always friendly and very professional. Cathy does a great job explaining the various investment strategies and how they will impact our financial and tax portfolio. When you become a client at Beneficent, you become part of their family and they take very good care of us. The entire team is always great to work with. For our purposes, we mostly work with Cathy and Nancy who are so patient and understanding. We are more than pleased with the financial advice we have received from Beneficent. I highly recommend Beneficent Financial.

Monica Great customer service. Helped me get through the process quickly and explained everything. Would certainly recommend

Marti B. I have worked with Brian for several years. His expertise has been invaluable to my financial journey. He has provided exceptional guidance, particularly in planning for my retirement. A few examples of where Brians guidance truly made a difference include tax planning for Roth conversions and charitable giving with a donor advised fund. After a discussion with Brian, he also gave advice and consulted with me on my individual trust. Brian provided stability for my investments during volatile COVID markets, allowing me to weather the uncertainty with peace of mind. Thanks to his guidance, Ive been able to enjoy retirement more fully and travel without having to check my accounts daily by knowing that my financial future is in capable hands. Brian is a level headed, easy to work with and very accommodating advisor. My portfolio is doing fabulous! I recommend Brian to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and reliable financial planner.
