Before I started working with Tom, I felt completely lost in my finances. I was going through some big life transitions, including a move and starting a new business. I kept digging myself deeper into debt and couldn't figure out where I was going wrong and see how to get ahead of things in the future. Once I started working with Tom, he gave me practical steps to take and he clearly mapped out how things were projected to look in the future. This helped put me at ease and made it much easier to stick with a game plan. Things have already been moving in a much better direction after only working with Tom for a month. I plan to continue working with Tom to have his support in reaching my long term financial goals. I Highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for guidance with your finances!

Tom from Nielsen Counseling,  helped my practice become more efficient. His advice to meet with a CPA to verify if an s-corp would make sense, made a huge difference in how much I can save up for retirement, while minimizing taxes.

Tom helped me establish a four year plan to boost my retirement income. He understand what needs to be addressed and  then refers to the right specialist - things you are too busy to deal with, but makes a big difference..

I felt stuck in my practice and personal life around finances. Tom asked the right questions and helped me navigate by having me identify a "destination". His guidance has been instrumental in straightening out my financial situation and outlook.

I received excellent guidance from Nielsen Financial Counseling in helping me with my business start-up. Very helpful in setting out clear goals and plans to achieve success. I now have a long-term business plan to achieve growth and sustainability.

Tom was recommended by a friend who'd been through a program with his company. Like many in my field I am highly specialized, but was not well versed in financial matters. It has been very beneficial to counsel with Tom which has yielded much needed clarity for my situation. Highly recommended.

Tom's guidance was a great help with my initial business start-up and later crafting a 10-year plan. Thank you Tom!
