Cary Jiang UPDATE: AVOID THIS "BANK" AT ALL COSTS. They keep your money in transfer for days to get free interests, in complete disregard for the inconvenience and financial damages it may cause you or the recipient, I submitted an international wire transfer. Called to confirm all the details. However the transfer has not gone through after more than a week despite their app saying "completed". The branch says they are unable to check the status so Ill have to call their customer service. Customer service says its still in "clearing" - havent even left the US yet. They have no set date for the completion. I ask to cancel the transfer. They agreed but then told me that it will take at least two days for them to review the cancellation request - and the reversal may or may not succeed!! According to them, I may also receive less than the original amount because of currency rate fluctuations, so they are essentially charging me the bid-ask spread for money they sat on for days. I am filing a complaint to CFPB and OCC. -- The branch and relationship manager is fine. HOWEVER for a simple transaction - be prepared to spend hours on the phone talking to their customer service center in India and their broken phone app.

Brennan Kahl Chad and Bryanna held our hands throughout the process of buying our first home. We spoke to them years before we were ready to learn what we would need and were able to pick back up with them once we were ready. We really appreciate their communication style, breaking down the confusing (to us) parts, and being readily available. We especially appreciated their ability to look at problem solving from multiple angles, to get creative to make our vision work. It was a pleasure working with them.

Thomas Wright Always a pleasure. Carmel Martinez has prepared mine and my familys taxes for almost 10 years, and we are very loyal to her.

Jenny Schultz We switched CPAs in 2019 and part of that switch was getting true expertise to streamline our bookkeeping. After talking with Zane, it was an easy decision to go with Protea. They are very thorough in their attention to detail, a pleasure to work with and have gone above and beyond, even with the "other" tasks that they manage for me. They really are a dream team to work with and have taken so much off of my plate. I am forever grateful for Zane and his team.

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.
