Working with Ben and team at Guide Financial Planning has been the best financial decision I've ever made. From making a monthly charitable plan to paying for my MBA debt free to being able to purchase my first home a year ahead of schedule when my living circumstances shifted suddenly, Guide has provided constant, responsive support. Along the way, I've learned more about financial strategies, too, and that was a primary goal of mine when choosing a financial advisor. I unreservedly recommend Guide Financial Planning to anyone who seeks to align their financial resources with their personal values and faith. I am a better financial steward because of my partnership with Guide Financial Planning.

My husband and I have been so thankful for the Biblically-based, family-focused, well-run resource we've found in Guide Financial Planning! The whole team has been great to work with and has shown us time and time again that they are trustworthy. They truly take the time to do their research to ensure they're best serving their clients specific needs and questions. In addition, they have been great at communicating complex ideas and processes to us in ways that allow us to understand and make informed, educated decisions. Guide Financial Planning has been a blessing to us and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for financial guidance/management!

We have been with Guide Financial for 5+ years. Beyond their financial expertise that has led us to a retirement we never thought possible, it is their core values that have solidified our relationship. They continually put their clients first, even when it will cost them revenue. That kind of integrity creates trust that is priceless. We highly recommend Ben and his wonderful team at Guide Financial

Guide Financial has been superb in their financial advice and planning that they have done for me and my family. My only regret is that I didn't find them and seek their advice sooner. Working with Amy and Ben has been an excellent experience.

My wife and I have been working with Ben and his team at GFP for a couple years now, they do an OUTSTANDING job taking care of their clients. You will not find better service or advice from another financial advisor. The advice, attention, and service is all personalized---you are a human being to them with a real life-story, not just one cog in a large financial machine. Ben's advice is based on timeless Biblical principles--whether you're a Believer or not this advice will serve you well.

We have been working with Ben, Cal and team for several years and are continually impressed with their guidance and support. We greatly appreciate their faith based approach to financial planning and the way we can work together with that common ground. They are very responsive and have always been able to help us through questions and decisions.

Ben and his team at Guide Financial Planning have been absolutely wonderful to work with. We have worked with them for over 10 years and would highly recommend them to anyone. They are thorough, respond quickly and thoughtful in their communication. Aside from their wonderful work, every staff member we have worked with has been incredibly kind and attentive.

We’ve been working with Guide for several years now, and I continue to be amazed by their deep expertise in all things finance and their ability to make it all feel approachable. They’ve completely demystified budgeting, spending, and planning—and helped remove so much of the stress and anxiety that often comes with money.

Guide asks the right questions, listens well, and has led us toward a much healthier, more honest relationship with our finances. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Ben and his team have been so great to work with. They have not only given us great advice regarding our financial journey but have helped us maintain the values that are most important to us. We highly recommend Guide Financial Planning.

Anne S.

We began using Guide to Financial Planning's services about 5 years ago and could not be happier. We feel fully confident with their professional expertise and have no reservations in trusting them with our finances. Ben and each member of his team with whom we've interacted with have all been consistent in monitoring our savings and investments, providing us with clear, easily understood information and guidance in both written form and in Zoom meetings. We receive prompt responses to any questions we have or actions that need to be taken on our behalf. We have benefited greatly from their services.
We appreciate and are in agreement with their Christian faith, especially as it's reflected in their values, integrity and business practices. So, whether you already know a lot about finances or little (like us), we highly recommend them to guide you in making wise decisions.

My husband and I would not have been prepared for retirement if we hadn't started working with Ben Wacek and his competent team at Guide Financial. He helped us go through all the steps of coming up with a budget we could live with and making good investments that helped us build towards being able to comfortably retire. We always felt that he cared about us as people. We are so grateful for all his help.
