Although my account is very small, Pat Latta is always there for me ready to offer sound advice regarding my financial situation. I appreciate his attention to someone who is not among his biggest clients.
Ed NinesteinDoug and his team at ACT-Advisors has been our go to for financial planning as well as some "Life" planning. We have worked with Doug for over 17 years, and he has helped us grow our retirement savings to where we will never have to worry about money again. Doug has very high integrity. Act-Advisors does not churn your saving to make money on trades. While not all of our saving is managed by Doug and ACT-Advisors, they still help us manage it responsibly and help us make better decisions for all of our saving whether they earn money from it or not. We have a great "peace of mind" because even during the worst downturns in the past 17 years we have never been hit as hard as the Markets and been able to be confident that we are well protected by sound investments and not by costly products or gimmicks. We have personally recommended Doug and Act-Advisors to our friends and family, and they continue to be loyal members as well. Before we decided to invest with ACT-Advisors we interviewed other large service providers, but none understood us or listened like Doug. To this day Doug and his team know us personally and takes a real interest in what we are doing, how our family is doing and growing and helps us make good long-term decisions for them as well. We expect to continue to work with Doug and his team for many more years and we are looking forward to even a brighter tomorrow because of their help and support.
Kathi & James SoniatMy wife and I have had the pleasure of working with Pat Latta and the whole ACT Advisors Team for years, and we cannot express enough how impressed we are with their professionalism and expertise. Pat took the time to truly understand our financial goals and aspirations, and then crafted a comprehensive plan tailored specifically to our needs. He patiently walked us through each step of the process, ensuring that we fully understood all of our options and felt comfortable with the decisions being made. What sets Pat apart is his genuine care for his clients' financial, as well as personal, well-being. His proactive approach to financial planning helps us feel confident about our financial future and empowers us to make informed decisions. We highly recommend Pat and the entire ACT Advisors Team to anyone in need of expert financial guidance. Their dedication, integrity, and personalized service make them stand out when compared to other financial service providers we have worked with in the past. Thank you, Pat and Team, for your exceptional support and guidance!
Jack VandenbergheACT Advisers has managed my money for a couple years as created a sound long term financial plan. The results have been great. They advised me on strategies to save on taxes and modeled the financial impact of buying and selling real estate as we first bought a second home and are now building our dream home on Amelia Island. They have been superb in all respects. I highly recommend them.
