I am so very pleased and grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Ryan Benson, CFP®, EA of Independent Financial Planning/Independent Tax Advisors (and a Ramsey Trusted Provider), who helped me with my tax return for 2024. This particular tax return was complicated for me in that I had sold my home in Texas, moved to Virginia, and retired. In the past, I had routinely taken care of my own tax returns using TurboTax. This year, I did not trust my ability to do it correctly so enlisted Ryan's help. Following our initial "get to know you" discussion, I felt very comfortable working with Ryan and never looked back. Ryan is highly intelligent, thorough, and KIND - all of the qualities that are important to me since I tend to get nervous about money matters, especially during these turbulent times. Although I currently have another financial planner who helped me set up my retirement income, Ryan gave me one piece of sage advice that led me to make a very wise decision. I will be forever grateful for his counsel. As you can see, I have the utmost respect for Ryan and his dedication to assuring the welfare of his clients. I have absolutely no regrets working with him and recommend that anyone needing tax preparation or other financial planning assistance contact him to discuss. Personally, I hope to be a client of his for a very long time.

I had a great experience working with Ryan. He was efficient, knowledgeable, and highly professional throughout the entire process. I especially appreciated his patience in handling my son's taxes - he wasn't the quickest to get things done, but Ryan was understanding and never made us feel rushed. He made everything clear and straightforward, and I felt confident knowing my taxes were in expert hands. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking for reliable and supportive tax help.
