Bowes Accounting & Tax Services - Pontiac (MI)

Harvey Wilcox I just had the most remarkably helpful experience in my life with someone offering help with my taxes. Dear Jasmine. Because of its many glitches, I gave up on HR Block this year and this is my first year using Turbo Tax. Although I had properly entered all my data, your program identified problems with two annuities and would not e-file my return. The first person who tried to help me was Ali. He was kind and tried very hard to help, but eventually gave up. Then I wrote back and forth with another person who concluded there was “something wrong” and disappeared. When I wrote back to see if he/she was still there, I got the same response that there was "something wrong." Today I fortunately ended up talking with Jasmine who stuck with me for several hours (she was very patient with someone turning 80 next week). We reviewed several entries and, after she took a research break, she explained that there is a known problem in the Turbo Tax program having to do with entering information for annuities that is expected to be fixed by March 21. She then helped me with a couple of entries that would let me apply my refunds of Federal and Virginia taxes to next year’s returns. I had spent over 20 hours trying to figure this out and haven’t slept for 3 nights because I can’t find an accountant at this late date. I totally trust Jasmine and believe that the problem will be resolved shortly and that I will be able to file both returns after March 22. By the way, I was very impressed with Jasmine’s analytical abilities in tracking down and isolating the problem. You have a “gem” in Jasmine. Leslie Wilcox

Pam Kerr Weve been working with FCM for 5+ years. We really appreciate their personal service. They listen to us and help us to manage our finances in accordance with our values!

Parker Gray, Realtor Brice is kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and most importantly, listens to his clients wants and needs to help them make decisions based on their goals and aspirations, which is one of the best qualities you could ask for as an advisor. I would highly recommend Brice to anyone!

G Gao Howard is passionate, thorough and meticulous, it shows through his work and character. I had few financial advisors, it was day and night when I do the comparison, to me he went above and beyond in creating a plans, goals and options with detailed explanations, but to him it’s just part of his job. I felt really neglected with my previous advisor, like I was a plug a play into their system, nothing feels tailored or planned for my specific situation. Howard is completely the opposite, I feel safe and secure with him handling my investment, it was eye-opening.

Tumeka May I have had the pleasure of working with Ashley for years... she’s the best hands down.. she not only does her job, but she’s a listening ear, she takes the time to actually listen and understands your needs. If she don’t have the answer, she will get it for you and before you and her leave you will have a clear understanding. She also reaches out to you periodically to see if things are going ok and the way you anticipated them to as well..... for all your tax notary and republic and financial inquiries or burdens please contact Financial Fairy Tales!

After the financial crisis in 2008, my mother had lost more than half of her retirement. Dean helped her manage what was left so she could still retire comfortably. Dean, is a kind hearted person who takes a genuine interest in every client. He is someone I trust with my assets.

Ethan Ruhland I cannot overstate how happy we have been with the guidance and support of Nick and Jasmine since we first started working with Castle Financial two years ago. We initially utilized their help with life and disability insurance needs, and were so happy with that process that when it came time to really take control of our financial future we knew just where to go.
