Customer Reviews

I had an awesome experience meeting with Alex at Grape Wealth Management! It was my first time meeting with a financial advisor so I had a lot of questions but he was patient, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Highly recommend, especially if you are looking for retirement investment opportunities.

Alex is a good resource and it was a very enjoyable afternoon in a beautiful venue, nice meeting other like minded folks. I've attended several of these mixers and really enjoy them, always informational. Thank you for hosting us.

This was a wonderful experience at Europa Winery for ?Retire Temecula?.The wines were excellent and the games were fun and added a nice tone to the afternoon. It was also great seeing friends and meeting new members to the group. Thanks to Alex Newman for sensing the need for retirees to gather occasionally and creating ?Retire Temecula?.

Alex has been nothing short of outstanding to work with! I was new to the area, from the Midwest, and looking for someone trust worthy and that I felt comfortable would have my best interest in all that he advised me on. I found all this and more with Alex and Grape Wealth Mgt. Alex is the epitome of conscientious, helpful, and completely transparent. He truly cares and takes the time to explain anything and everything so it can be understood at any level. I have complete confidence that he is giving me

Weins gathering was great. I've been a member for a year or two but this was my first event. Well done! Met a couple that just moved here a month ago. We'll be keeping in touch!

Just enjoyed a lovely afternoon at Retire Temecula at the Europa Winery. The venue was perfect, good wine, the music was a nice touch, and great conversations with some new retiree friends. Thank you Alex for being the most gracious host!

Alex, the organizer of the event is so nice, a smile you won't forget. I went by myself and he was warming and introduced me to a table to enjoy wine and good times.

Thank you for the organized walk this morning! Nice group of retired individuals on a walk with beautiful views! Thanks for putting it all together.

Alex was amazing. I had the opportunity to work with him recently and he was readily available and always happy to help. I highly recommend him for your retirement services. True professional.

It's always a pleasure attending these events and the reason is because we get to to meet other friends. Like today I met a lovely lady and her daughter and we had a great time.

Great event meeting new friends, seeing old ones, and having a glass of great wine! Information given about investing was a plus to the evening! Join us next time!

It was so nice to see familiar faces and meet new people. Alex, thanks for giving us insight on retire temecula and you. Looking forward to the walk tomorrow ??

Thank you for a lovely afternoon at this beautiful new venue at Europa. It was a great turn out and I got to talk with old friends I didn't know were members. Thank you Alex, Rainer, and Joshua.

Excellent outing. Met wonderful people. Looking forward to seeing them again and experiencing all that Retire Temecula has to offer.

Previously, I had been to only one Retiree Temecula event and it was at the winery, so that's where I went. I asked around and nobody had information. So, I took a nice walk around the vineyard by myself. When I left, I looked up the street, saw the cars, then saw the sign. Whoops! Hopefully, I will catch the next one.

What a gem Murrieta Day Spa is. Our host and all staff were so friendly and helpful. What a treat from the gorgeous boutique to the peaceful outdoor ares and relaxing treatment rooms. I hope to be back soon. Thanks for having us!

New to this group and attended our first social..great is an understatement. Great way to meet people and what a great venue. Thankyou to our hosts..looking forward to the next one.

What a lovely afternoon I had thanks to our hosts! I got to meet quite a mix of guests while enjoying a very nice glass of Europa wine.. all with a warm sun! Thanks

i had a good time on the walk this morning! Haven't seen much of the wine backcountry before. Thanks!

Had an appt at a winery for a wealth management seminar with them, and got a reminder confirmation. Drove all the way on a Saturday and nobody had a clue about this meeting, so totally wasted our Saturday! Not sure what the point is of this sales strategy????? The Winery comfirmed he was a member but they had no record of him holding events there at all. Thanks for wasting our time!

I had been invested with a very large brokerage firm for over 10 years when I met Alexander Newman. We had a long conversation regarding the stock market and what he felt were good investments.

Alex never fails to keep me informed of new stock opportunities and advises me on when to buy and sell. I am so happy I made the switch and now hav

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should I look for in a CPA?

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.

How do I find a CPA in my area?

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.

What’s the difference between a CPA and an accountant?

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.

How do I know if a CPA specializes in my needs?

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.

Should I check a CPA’s reviews before hiring?

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.

How can I verify a CPA’s license?

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.

What questions should I ask during a CPA consultation?

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.

How much should I expect to pay for a CPA’s services?

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.

Can I work with a CPA remotely?

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.

How do I assess a CPA’s communication skills?

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.

What red flags should I watch for when screening a CPA?

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.

Should I choose a CPA from a large firm or a solo practitioner?

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.

How often should I meet with my CPA?

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.

Can a CPA help with both personal and business finances?

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.

What should I do if I’m not satisfied with my CPA?

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.
