"What I like most about Arnold is his willingness and ability to explain things clearly and in such a way that I understand them. He is very approachable and makes a point of working with my wants and needs rather than being pushy about something he wants to sell me." - John - Nuclear Medicine Technologist - client since 1995

"I came to Arnold because I was unhappy with the attention I was getting from my previous advisor. He recommended to me some minor and some major changes which we implemented and which have since had a huge impact on my finances. Arnold gives me the attention I deserve and is patient in explaining things to me. I didn't realize all the opportunities that I was missing out on until I talked to him and made the move. I wish I had done it much sooner." - Karen - Retired Teacher - client since 2005

"Before dealing with Arnold I was trying to do it all myself. My investments were too technology centered, instead of a diversified portfolio. Now I'm on track. I know I have someone regularly reviewing my finances and periodically updating me and recommending things to me, based on my personal circumstances. He truly cares about me and my finances as much as (maybe even more than) I do." - Jeff - Project Manager - client since 2004

Both my husband and I are self-employed, and from his personal experience Arnold has a keen understanding of the risks and rewards of this. He has helped us to structure our planning so that we know exactly what financial milestones we need to accomplish to be able to retire with a reasonable income. During the previous few years when my colleagues were losing money on their investments, ours continued to perform well, and at times, in a stellar manner! Arnold has our business for life. We trust him implicitly…he builds his business on his clientele knowing that he acts with unquestionable trustworthiness. We have recommended him to family and friends, and all are very happy with the service he provides them." - Diana – President – client since 2012

"Over the past many years my husband and I dealt with three other professional financial advisors, two of which were senior management in their respective firms. Although none of those experiences were “bad”, our experience is that the service which Arnold Machel provides us is far superior to all previous. The differences include how he looks at the big and small picture of our finances and point in life. For example, a few years ago he suggested that, as our three “children” had all finished university, it would be a great idea to start saving for weddings, and that by putting aside $250 twice per month, we wouldn’t miss the money, but it would quickly amass a sizable sum, which he invested in a low risk fund, cashable at any point.
