We are excited to share these firsthand accounts of how our financial services and The Cycle FORMula have positively impacted the lives of our clients. Take a moment to review these recent testimonials and discover what we are all about.
Professional & Proactive
“After using various financial advisors over the years were always disappointed by lack of communication and results. Once we signed up we never heard from them regarding strategy or had updates of any kind. After an introduction from our insurance agent we signed on with Joe Catanzaro and his team at Oak & Stone Capital Advisors. They have been professional and proactive in managing our funds. The team always answer any questions, return phone calls, and have comprehensive and informative meetings with us. They are by far the best in their profession. We are very happy with Joe, Karen and everyone on the team!”
Outstanding Personal Service
“If you’re talking with Joe Catanzaro and his Oak & Stone colleagues about financial services it is my experience that you’re in the most capable and concerned hands possible. Yes, we all want to max out how our money works for us, but there’s more to financial management than a monthly statement. Joe embodies the principles that makes the long term relationship a financial partnership is with outstanding personal service. He has treated me and my family well —he guided us setting up an account for our 15-year old son that he doesn’t make a dime on—and treats us with dignity and respect, even though we are not high dollar clients. He has been on the other end of the phone when I’ve had to make purchases for my business. He has guided us through the college savings and health insurance mazes like a boss. He asks insightful questions and genuinely cares about his customers. I’m happy to call him an advisor and friend. 15 out of 10.”
Easy to Understand
“Whenever I call the office, both Karen and Linda are very friendly and courteous. When I get together with Joe he explains and helps me decide where to invest my money and what the best health insurance would be for my needs. Also helped me when I went on social security and on Medicare. Very personable and explains things well and easy to understand. I value his opinion and enjoy working with him and his team. Would highly recommend them for all your financial needs.
