I worked with Chelsea and she was the best thing that could have came into my life at that moment. I was in such a downward spiral financially and then emotionally. She was patient kind and listened to my entire story. She responded to everything authentically. It was easy to tell she wasn't just trying to match an attorney. And to my amazement the more we talked? She must have been making notes or something. But rather than just not talk to me because I couldn't do what I reached out for? She found anoth
I had the pleasure of working with Emma Fritsch at Ascend, and I can?t recommend her enough. From the start, she was completely transparent, patient, and had no agenda other than genuinely helping me navigate my options. In an industry that often feels predatory, Emma was a breath of fresh air?she followed up consistently, provided clear and honest information, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Overall, it was a great experience, and I truly appreciate her professionalism and integrity. If
I have had the pleasure of speaking with Ireny A who has truly gone above and beyond to help me understand my debt situation and my options. She has given me a safe place to figure out how to tackle what seemed to be insurmountable. Her kindness and genuiness put me ease. She is one of the best people i have ever spoken to.
I cannot describe how amazing this company is. Ireny and Hinten answered every question I had. They were kind and extremely considerate when listening and to my situation. They speak to you as if you have known them for years and genuinely want a positive outcome for you. I 100% recommend this company to anyone that needs help with their debt. If you can get one of these two employees then you are definitely in good hands.
I was looking at doing a debt relief program with a cetain company, so I went onto You Tube to get more info, about the program, from various financial advisors. I was fortunate enough to come across a video by Ascend, and then looked at their website. I was new to this whole debt reduction process, and learned so much just from their site. I felt confident enough to call them, and I got Emma. She was great! She really took the time to listen to my situation, along with what I wanted, and didn't want. Emma
I had a most enjoyable experience in dealing with Ascend. I need to commend Jeffrey on several levels. First off he was very professional in all our conversations and very quick with answers to my questions. His counseling also helped to direct me to the best option that would serve my objectives. His patience with my questions was truly an element in my comfort level with him. Finally, the turnaround time to get me from where I was in regards to not being sure what option would be best for me to a settling
We worked with Justin who was the best. He listened to our situation and provided us with information and options that was easy to understand. Such a great company to work with if you need help understanding debt and options they provide without pressure. Thank you for taking such good care of us.
Hinten at Ascend was incredibly helpful. He offered me a sloution for a problem I was having, was kind and gracious and went above and beyond what he "had" to do to help me, and definitely gave me some peace of mind
Thank you Ascend for making this process, hassle, free! No third-party no being bombarded with calls. I got an appointment made. Jeffrey contacted me and was so knowledgeable! He was very quick to understand my history and made it very easy for me to understand my options. He kept his word and contacted me on time. I ended the call feeling optimistic! Thanks Jeffrey!
I spoke with Emma regarding financial debt I was trying to get resolved. She was so informative and really looked into what the best option was for me. She didn?t speak badly about another company I was trying to work with and looked at the best interest of my current situation. Being that my accounts are all current and I was just looking for something that would help out with lowering my interest rates while paying off my credit cards in a more timely manner with a manageable monthly payment, she directed
My experience with Ascend was excellent from the time I logged into their website until the last conversation I had with Hinten their representative who spoke with me over the phone. He was polite, knowledgeable, on time for our call and communicated well up to the call as did Jeffrey who set the call up. It was a pleasure working with them and they provided the information I needed to be able to make my decision on how best to move forward to resolve my financial situation. Many thanks to Hinten and all at
I really liked your video reviewing national debt relief. They even actually approach me to buy my company. You might wanna check it out.
Ascend was very helpful. Hinton, Justin and Ben all helped me find the best option to eventually become debt free. They were all very understanding of my needs and concerns and were extremely knowledgeable. I am excited to take this path to a better credit score and am glad that I signed up for this. Thank you!
Jeffrey is absolutely wonderful. He was very professional, and courteous. He went above and beyond to try and help me with my situation.
I reached out to Ascend after a frightening interaction with a debt relief company. Thankfully, I connected with Jeffrey who shared his personal experience and expert advice. He laid out clear next steps for my journey to financial wellness and took the time to answer questions and respond to concerns. I will be reaching out to Jeffrey in the future when I am in need of good guidance.
Chelsea has been a true angel! I?ve spoken with her over the last few weeks after I saw their contact number on a YouTube video. She was always so friendly, knowledgeable, and so helpful. She connected me with a local non profit who reduced my interest rates from 30% down to 7%! I cannot thank her and the scene team enough. They truly just want to help people gain financial freedom! I?ll recommend them to everyone!
Jeffrey helped answer all my questions and was very knowledgable about the process. He walked me through the timeline and was reachable by phone every day. I highly recommend Jeffrey and the rest of the Ascend team. I also enjoyed the personal touch Jeffrey provided during what could be an otherwise overwhelming process. Not with them!
Justin was very helpful! I have a very tricky case. He took the time to understand all that I was dealing with and then gave me recommendations based on the info I provided. We chatted over a couple of days and he was always quick to answer my questions. Thank you, Justin! ??
Ireny was very helpful in my situation. She explained to me in details of which route I should take and the best options for me. She is nice and kind with alot of knowledge. I recommend her to everyone who is dealing with hardship.
It was pleasure working with the folks at Ascend. They were extremely professional, clear on their approach and always available when I needed them. I'd particularly like to thank Hinten, Gesrale, Ben and Adam for steering me in the right direction and supporting me every step of the way. Honesty and transparency come to mind when describing Ascend!
I was contemplating bankruptcy after the rat race of trying to afford necessities and paying off debt. I heard about Ascend on Tik Tok and decided to do their bankruptcy calculator. Justin reached out very quickly via text to get more info and help. The next day I spoke with Justin and the reviews you see about Justin are beyond true! I was skeptical but he put me at ease, thoroughly explained all the options and by the end referred me to a new resource! The weight that has been lifted within a day and half
Justin was very helpful, professional, kind, and courteous. He was able to connect me with a company that had the goal of helping me and seeing what solution best fits my situation. I am grateful to Ascend and the company they connected me with because now I feel hopeful that in a few short years I will be debt free. Definitely recommend their service.
Hinten is very helpful providing informations not just bankruptcy. In my case is cryptocurrency fraud and he was able to provide information. I am very thankful with Hinten including Ascend team especially tough times in my situation.
Justin was a huge help! Not only did he explain what avenues I had to choose from - but also which each option pro?s and con?s may be. Not overbearing to say the least. Checked every couple days to see if I had decided on a plan and genuinely took an interest into saving money and how to go about it with less fees, credit hits, etc. I will say that I don?t write reviews, but that was needed but only to support Ascend, but to support Justin and his intelligent team.
My family was grappling with the burden of credit card debt. We had explored various avenues, including debt relief companies and consolidation loans, but everything seemed dubious and left us feeling uncertain. That all changed when I came across Ascend and had the opportunity to connect with Justin. He reached out to me on the very same day, and from that point forward, things took a turn for the better. I provided Justin with an overview of our financial situation, our objectives, and the timeline we ho
I?ve recently given birth, lost my job, and struggled to make ends meet. I ended up being drowned in debt and I started searching for ways to take some weight off then I came across this company. There was a link that brought me to a calculator/questionnaire that basically added up all my debts and asked me a few questions and only took about less than 3 minutes to fill out. In about a hour or two, I received a phone call. I wasn?t able to answer immediately due to my crying newborn but I also received a te
I?m beyond grateful to have had Emma help me navigate the best options for me. She worked efficiently to exhaust all of my options. Not only do I appreciate her practical skills, but I also love her concern and care , always having my best interests at heart. This is the place to be if you want to find a successful way to take care of your debt.
I highly recommend this business. Their customer service is second to none. The product quality is consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time. I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service. Justin is the best.
I have been extremely reserved about dealing with my debt. Justin w Ascend help walk me through all the different options and answered all my questions. I am so relieved to be moving forward with DebtWave non-profit based on the referral from Ascend. Finally light at the end of the tunnel. Closing these accounts is the best option for me while reducing payments and interest and not ruining my credit. Thank you Ascend and thank you Justin for your professionalism and all the information!!!
Absolutely amazing experience with Hinten. I was looking for a referral to an attorney and Hinten did a fantastic job of listening to my concerns and needs, and then quickly referred me to a highly qualified, affordable, 5-star attorney. Hinten then followed up with me a few days later to ensure everything was going smoothly. Thank you so much for all your help!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Ascend! Adam, Justin, and Hinton made this experience so much easier than I thought it was going to be. I can breathe again! I will recommend Ascend to anyone looking for an honest company who really does have your best interest at heart!
Everyone at Ascend was helpful and diligent in their work. They were able to rescue me after getting burned by another debt consolidation company that suddenly went bankrupt - I?d highly recommend Ascend to anyone!
I called Ascend regarding some financial questions. I saw some interesting Youtube videos and felt like they offered honest, no-sales or gimmicks service. I reached out to them and Chelsea has been super helpful, polite, and very knowledgeable. Much appreciated!
Adam was so helpful! I was debating between NDR Program and Chapter 7. Adam made my stress and concerns go away with his expertise, knowledge and superb customer service! So thankful for his willingness to call me and talk through my options and what worked best for me! What an amazing resource and company , continue the great work!!
Justin was amazing. I didn't even end up needing his services, and never felt pressured for a second. Moreover, he explained a TON about the process that went way above and beyond him trying to explain their services. Total class act.
These guys are truly a beacon for those of us with too much debt. From the start where I found Ben on the YouTube channel Ascend I have been treated as a real person by real people. Even getting a personal call helping me figure things out. I went through one of the lawyers recommended by Ascend and as of January 2nd I am debt discharged, and already have a great credit card from Mission Lane for $2000. Things are getting back into place and my life feels so much less stressful due to the weight of debt bei
I am so glad I decided to speak to Justin and his team. This quick phone felt like a huge step in the right direction financially. Justin was kind, non-judgmental, and gave me some valuable advice. Today, they introduced me to a company that I believe will help me get back on track financially with less stress, cost and shame. If you feel overwhelmed and don't know what to do about your debt call Ascend! They can help you make sense of where you are and help point you in the right direction to get things un
Lexi was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!! She worked with me to my schedule and stayed in contact with me as she promised!!!! I could not ask for a more helpful, caring and thoughtful person than Lexi!!!! She even said she will follow up with me in a couple days to see how things went with the attorney and if it doesnt work out with this one she will help me find another!!! I wish the whole world was infected with the kindness, helpfulness and compassion that your associate Lexi has!!! I look forward to hearing b
I watched Ascend on YouTube before finding their website and reaching out to them via text. Once I contacted them, I was absolutely taken care of, well-advised, and referred to an outstanding attorney who was able to clean everything up for me. I am thoroughly recommending Ascend to family and friends who need assistance! You can trust the process and know they are here to help you.
I got a excellent referral from ascend. I have a huge load taken off my shoulders. I was referred to a excellent bankruptcy attorney who was very through with me. Ascend made sure I got in contact with the referral and I couldn't be happier with who I was partnered with. Ascend followed up with me to make sure I was taken care of. Excellent service!! Highly recommended! 5 stars from me.
Justin reached out to me when I was considering bankruptcy. He carefully explained my options so I could make an informed decision on how to move forward. Thankfully I settled to speak with a debt management program DebtWave to set a plan for me to get rid of my debt quicker than what I?d be able to do on my own. I appreciate the help I was given and I definitely would suggest using Ascend finance when you?re in a pickle and don?t quite know what to do with all your debt. Lots of good information!
Speaking with Justin about financial alternatives was a pleasure. He listened, showed empathy and was extremely supportive. He sent me over to a Lawyer who was upfront and honest with what can and cannot be done. I already feel a sense of relief. Best decision I?ve made!
Jeffrey A. is absolutely amazing! He listened to every single question that I had, even the long backstory as to why my credit is what it is and not only gave me so much information but so many options I didn't realize were options. He didn't pester me to sign up for anything, there's legit no gimmick which I was a little weary on, he seemed like he genuinely cared about my credit and the work he does which is something I barely ever see now a days. I really hope to work with Jeffrey again in the future and
Jeffrey took time to answer all questions, gave excellent information and was able to help. You won't regret reaching out to Ascend.
Justin did a great job explaining our options and helped us choose an option that worked very well for us! We would totally recommend a conversation with him before making a decision about credit solutions.
Provided me an excellent referral for an attorney. I really like it because my rep Jeffery really followed up to make sure things went well. I highly recommend Ascend
Loved the means calculator, found usefulness in the YouTube videos, and valued the phone call with Hinten. Thank you. Helpful spirit, nice aid to overview of options.
I am both impressed and appreciative of the help Hinten from Ascend gave to me during my financial struggles! I was well informed of my options and after making an informed decision, I was able to start the process of getting my financial freedom back. Thank you so much for your empathetic and professional advice!
Hinten was extremely helpful for me! I was about to sign up for a Debt Consolidation Program that was not thoroughly explained to me by the company I was going to sign up with. After speaking with Hinten I am VERY glad I didn?t! He talked through all my options with me as well as the effects they would have on my credit. He ended up connecting me with a non profit Debt Management program that was able to assist me in a much more effective way that won?t negatively impact my credit. I definitely recommend sp
I spoke with Hinten and he was very informative and patient with me. I had SO many questions and he answered all of them. He also took the time to explain my options in order to help me decide which might be best for my situation. Ascend also has great videos on YouTube I highly recommend to those looking for education on debt.
Hinten with Ascend was a pleasure to work with. He made sure I got the help I needed and answered any questions that I had. He even followed up with me to make sure everything went well. I appreciate his professionalism.
I filled out their online questionnaire and was highly pleased with the response. After answering the questions (about 3 min.) i received 3 best options for my financial situation; 1-debt relief program; 2-chapter 7 bankruptcy; 3-payoff lenders. All options showed the monthly costs and approximate time it'll take to relief my debt. They automatically selected what they thought the best option for me was. It is a great help for those trying to get rid of debt as Ascend provides you with best options for your
Ascend was so kind and helpful! Replied immediately and listened to my situation empathetically, and instantly connected me to the resources right for my situation. Highly reccomend!
Ascend is a great resource and service, highly recommend. Whether you are considering debt consolidation, credit counseling, or another avenue, Jeffrey and his team are the most knowledgeable people I?ve come across. Highly recommend, thanks Ascend!
Found them from a random YouTube video while doing some research and they are fantastic. I kept waiting for them to ask for some form or payment or bombard me with calls and emails after I filled out the survey and it never came. Everything is 100% free and truly just want to help people
From my very first contact with Ben I felt I could trust the help and information he was giving me. Because he was in constant contact the process of following up was made that much easier and I am very glad I contacted Ascend.
I can't say enough about Ascend. They were so helpful and professional. They will access your situation and give their professional opinion on your options. They have the best referrals to help you with what ever option you decide to take. I highly recommend.
Jeffrey A. is worth his weight in gold, he was kind, empathetic, didn?t judge me, and heard my problems and tried his best to get me the help I needed. There are few customer reps out there who go above and beyond and whom are good with people and Jeffrey is definitely one of them! I appreciate you so much and won?t forget your kindness!
Justin was extremely helpful and informative about all aspects of debt settlement. Made us feel very comfortable with the process because it was no longer a giant mystery. He put our understanding above all other priorities.
I was very knowledgeable and was able to connect me with a law firm that absolutely helped me. I felt so relieved after the day that I had I think you guys again for educating me so I can move forward with.
Hinten, called promptly at the scheduled time. He listened to my questions, and had answers ready. He asked questions to make sure he understood completely what I was wanting. If needed I would call again.
After speaking with Jeffrey I couldn't feel more relieved and confident that I can get out of debt. He genuinely wanted to help and definitely gave me hope. Your company is very blessed to have him. Aaron Geib
They were able to help my husband and I with all the information. We needed, answered all the questions we had, and helped with our anxieties. They kept us informed with every step. I will absolutely reccomend them.

I worked with Justin over the phone. He was very professional. He listened and help direct me to the exact services I needed. Tonight, I will sleep much better. Great experience and highly recommended.
Hinten was super helpful. Found them through YouTube and cannot even begin to explain how appreciative I am of the knowledge and service they provide. Both are amazing. Hope more people find you guys so they get have more information and feel more empowered in tackling debt.
Jayson Davis I think was his name was very helpful. He listened to me and my situation. He offered every possible solution as well. He was very eager to help and offer what was the most responsible and least expensive solution. I would recommend this office to anyone because they don?t just offer anything they offer what they feel would be a great solution to your problems.
I spoke with Justin who offered solid useful information after carefully listening to what I brought to the table. He was professional, very considerate and I?m truly glad for having reached out to he and the Ascend Team.
They were really helpful when I came to them with debt relief questions, especially Hinten, he answered all my questions and helped me every step of the way and stayed in touch with me even afterwards to make sure I was fully taken care of.
I was unsure of what to expect and very confused and nervous but Jeffrey was very knowledgeable and put me at ease and explained what to expect and answered any questions or concerns I had regarding my situation.. I was super pleased with my experience thank you so much for your kindness.
Justin was very helpful and honest with us. We found our experience informative and he put our minds at ease with our options. We would highly recommend Ascend (Justin) to anyone having financial struggles.
Ascend-Justin are the real deal. I answered a few questions online and I was immediately contacted. Justin arranged a phone meeting with a bankruptcy attorney they called and explained the process. I felt instant relief to know there is help.
Justin was very professional and handled my situation with attention and care. He is definitely an asset to your company and I appreciate his support. He went above and beyond to help me.
First contacted by Ben, I ended up speaking with Justin. Very empathetic about my situation, you could tell he was just truly there to help without judgement. Able to answer any questions I had about my debt, make recommendations based off his knowledge, and helped me to find the best solution to my problem. It feels great to be on a better path after years of struggling!
What can I say, but they are the best. The dedication to helping me solve my particular, problem was phenomenal. As they gave personal help, first in understanding my unique situations and further by giving me precise feedback and recommendations, they were relentless in finding just the right help for me. Iam ever grateful for their perseverance and caring helpfulness to me and any who may find themselves in financial difficulties. Thanks Ascend, for shouldering the burden.
Justin was amazing. He went through all my options, explaining each in detail, and was able to connect me with a nonprofit organization that made a manageable plan to get out of debit in 4 years instead of continuing to try and make minimum payments that were difficult to meet and going to take over 20 years to pay off. They reduced my monthly payments, were kind and professional to work with, were able to do it all via phone and electronically, and had it wrapped up in a day. They were a Godsend and an
I used the bankruptcy calculator. You never know what you'll get once you give your information. I was impressed with the personal nature of the contact I received and the comprehensive nature of the solutions offered. This is a great service because they offer a wide range of options from bankruptcy to paying all your debt off and they tell you in detail how each option works.
This was a quick and painless consultation! Hinten was professional and gave me great feedback and resources to use on my financial freedom journey ???? Highly Recommend
Hinten was a breath of fresh air. I accepted a complimentary call because my debt was starting to keep me awake at night. My living situation is changing and now I know for sure the debt is insurmountable. I went into this call with a pit in my stomach, sweaty and ashamed. Wholly expecting to be met with judgment. But instead I got Hinten, who instantly energized the conversation with a friendly and positive vibe. He listened, to the point of understanding and gave me all of my options in clear terms th
I worked with Justin. He not only alleviated any and all anxiety that I was having, but he gave me a plan of action, told me what to expect and most importantly he LISTENED, I did not feel judged at all during our conversation. 10/10 would recommend him over and over again.
Couldn't have gotten more understanding and help then I did. Awesome client care and support. I don't feel alone and in a bad spot anymore. Thank you so much!
Justin and Jeffrey were so courteous and understanding. They made me feel better about my situation without any judgement! They provided me with all the information I needed to start my journey towards a better financial future. They both seemed to genuinely care about my situation and I can't say enough great things about them!
Justin was fantastic to work with. He was thoughtful and honest and respectful. Justin made a very stressful situation feel manageable and hopeful.

I was impressed with the depth and breadth of Adam's comprehension and expertise. If you have a complex debt situation I would definitely recommend setting up a call with these guys to understand the lay of the land. The lack of a sales pitch was very much appreciated.
Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.
Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.
A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.
Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.
Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.
Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.
Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.
Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.
Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.
During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.
Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.
Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.
For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.
Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.
Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
