REVIEW #1 – I’m happy to recommend Basepoint Wealth. They’ve always been honest, credible and trustworthy. Their knowledge of stocks and different investment options is impressive and they always explain things in a way that makes sense.
I really appreciate that they provide clear and regular updates so we always know how our investments are doing. They also take the time to understand our financial needs and goals, which has helped us build wealth while keeping our risk low.
Overall, Basepoint Wealth has been great to work with and I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for a solid, dependable financial advisor. – Karl Kolz
REVIEW #2 – We have been using Basepoint Wealth to manage our investments for nearly 20 years. The team of expert advisors and accountants at Basepoint Wealth listen first to our needs and comfort level of risk to provide the financial strategy that best fits those needs. We are grateful for their flexibility, their willingness to offer advise at any time, and the technology employed to provide the best services possible. We are extremely pleased with the success of our investments through Basepoint Wealth, and with their guidance, are confident in our financial status both now and in our retirement. – Brenda Sorensen
REVIEW #3 – We’ve had Kate and Allen as financial advisors for 20 years, long before they founded Basepoint Wealth. Kate, Allen, and Shayne monitor, listen, and advise us on managing our investment portfolios. They look beyond finances and numbers, to who we are as individuals, parents and grandparents, and what our hopes for the future are. We value their financial advice and friendship.
As fiduciary and fee-only advisors, they focus on our interests and needs. There are no commissions that might influence their advice. Kate, Allen, and Shayne work diligently to optimize our financial outcomes while reducing risks. Thank you, Kate, Allen, Shayne, and all the Basepoint Wealth staff! – Sue Kvach
REVIEW #4 -I have been a client of Basepoint long before it became Basepoint. First with Kate Wallace and now with Shayne Boles. It’s been an excellent experience and I obviously trust them with my money. Which, by the way, is doing quite well!
Shayne is good at explaining what’s going on in a way that I can understand. I have always felt free to call if I have a question about anything. I never feel like I have asked a stupid question. Everyone with whom I have come into contact at their office is friendly and welcoming.
I also started having my taxes done when that service was added. It’s great to have it all under one roof so the communication about my information is seamless. I highly recommend Basepoint! – Sharon Ramsay
REVIEW #5 – I can’t say enough good things about Basepoint Wealth. Before working with them, we weren’t sure how long our investment income would last or whether we could comfortably enjoy vacations, family weekends, and do home improvements. Thanks to Basepoint’s guidance, we now feel confident and secure about our financial future. Everyone we’ve worked with has been so professional and truly a pleasure to work with — it’s clear they genuinely care about their clients and want the very best for them. – Kris Kolz
REVIEW #6 – After a life time of managing my own retirement portfolio I felt is was time to align with a wealth management team that would engage with me strategically – for the long haul – in my retirement years. I found that team at – Base Point Wealth. Their fiduciary approach (new to me) has met my expectations in both -communication and performance. If you’re considering a transition or change with your portfolio and wealth planning goals, give Kate and her team a call. They listen, they’re transparent and they perform. – greg stewart
REVIEW #7 – I have been with Basepoint Wealth for many many years. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Kate Wallace and now Shayne Boles. Friendly and very knowledgeable in their field. I also have the pleasure of working with Mason Owens to help me process my income taxes. This is a very well rounded company and I am very thankful I have them looking after my financials and retirement plans. I feel safe having them as my team to lean on for my future. – Mary Lenart
REVIEW #8 – KC is fantastic. He made me feel at ease and really listened to me when I was telling him
about my financial goals. He took the time to explain my options to me and customized a plan accordingly. I felt that he wanted what was best for me and my family and wasn’t trying to sell me things that didn’t match my needs. I wish I could give him 10 stars – C. Christensen
REVIEW #9 – I have had great experiences with Basepoint advisor Bryan Knudson. I am POA for my dad who is 90. We are in process of moving more assets toward Basepoint wealth due the attention and care we experienced. Part of dad’s assets were in government bonds that I had no idea how to manage. With Bryans help along with other advisors we came up with a good strategy and learned how to best handle those bonds. Bryan was very helpful in the process and spent a lot of time helping us get a handle on them, even though they were not part of the Basepoint asset package. Thanks Bryan!
Bryan helps with my dad’s assets, but we have been with Kate, Allen, and Katie with our personal assets from before Basepoint Wealth existed. Kate is our advisor. She provides great service, quick responses, and sound advice. Basepoint Wealth’s approach to financial planning is first to listen well, and get to know the client and thier financial desires and expectations. The advisors then work closely with Basepoint’s “financial team” to come up with a financial plan that best aligns with the client’s wishes. So far , over time, our assets have out performed our expectations and even in the off years have done better than the markets. We are very happy with the attention to detail, friendly communication, and great results we have been blessed with working with Kate and everyone at Basepoint Wealth. We also use Basepoint Tax services to prepare our taxes. Very handy to use the same umbrella for both services. – Doug Kula

Justin and the entire office work together as a team and are knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy, friendly, and caring.

We have referred several friends to Justin and Carson Wealth and they have all been pleased with the free initial consultation and their decisions to put their investments in his hands.
We appreciate the regular reviews and market outlooks we get from Justin and his team and trust the personal financial guidance we receive. – Sarah Vieth

REVIEW #1 – The number one thing that resonates with me is Creative Planning’s responsiveness in a critical situation. We had a data breach event and as soon as they were made aware of it, CP reacted promptly to secure the email account of the affected employee and begin a system analysis to determine how access was gained and to what extent data was compromised. Once the access point was known (a third party HCM), CP gave us direction as to mitigating current damage and preventing similar breaches going forward. – Lynne DeVore
REVIEW #2 – Creative Planning always provides prompt and excellent service! – Liane Lance
REVIEW #3 – kristi was polite, friendly and very helpful. – Antwoin Wiggley
