Dealing with money has always been an emotionally charged thing for me. I was really scared going into this whole process but Jeff Clark immediately put me at ease. He acknowledged my feelings and told me it was pretty common for people to feel that way about money. I'm delighted to say we've got a solid retirement plan and we'll actually be able to retire earlier than I ever thought. Jeff and Dean gave made this process easy and explained every step of the way. I'd definitely recommend Pine Grive Financial to friends and family and already have!

The whole Pine Grove team are paragons of service and care. We feel so reassured to invest them in the care of our financial future. Linda Sheridan, Dean Allen, Bao Her and especially, our financial planner Jeff Clark have been nothing but supportive, available and enthusiastic about helping us with our needs. It was through Jeff's instructional outreach that we learned of the Pine Grove team. We participated in his two night seminar and are so glad we did. Thank you Jeff and Pine Grove!
