As for our advisor shinaola atoro, he has been extremely client focused - relatable, attentive, responsive and an extremely active listener. If there is any area for improvement, I think the client portal could be more client useful. Currently, the portal seems more a placeholder for snapshot reports/scorecard. I wish it were more interactive. A tool for clients use on an ongoing basis, to analyze “what ifs”

Shinaola and the team have been very thorough in answering our questions and have brought very good advice for improving out financials. Estate planning, social security, and taxes are some of the highlights.

My five-year adventure with Mission Wealth has been positive, especially once Shinaola became my advisor. Shinaola's proactive approach, depth of knowledge, positive attitude, and genuine care for our well-being and financial success, provides me great peace-of-mind. Shinaola also offers tax planning, which I rely on. Being a person who lives by dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's, Shinaola's thorough approach, including tax planning, has successfully dotted all the i's, and crossed all the t's for me, without my having to do any heavy lifting. I trust Shinaola, and truly believe he wants the best for us and isn't just trying to make a buck. As for Mission Wealth, the options for alternative investments, steered me to initially choose your company over others solely focused exclusively on traditional stock and bond options. Although I don't have a comparison of how our assets would have fared had we chosen other options, I'm confident Mission Wealth was a wise choice.
