Kaplan Financial Services: The Truth of Customer Services Exposed

I have been working with Susan Kaplan and her firm Kaplan Financial Services for quite some time. They all know me. Recently, I had a very painful experience with her staff and that has prompted me to write this review. The experience was horrible and I had never encountered such terrible service from any place.

What’s worse is that I sent a detailed email to the customer support of Kaplan Financial Services but I never got a response. As a client who has been working with Susan and her staff for quite some time, it was very disappointing to get such treatment. I had never expected the people at Kaplan Financial Services to treat a client like this.

It just made me wonder that if they can treat me like this, they must be treating their other clients like this, which is quite a horrible thing actually. You can’t treat your clients horribly and expect them to stay silent.

There are plenty of service providers in the finance industry and I could have gone to anyone but I chose to work with those guys. And they have chosen to disrespect me through their actions. It was very disheartening.

I always thought that Kaplan Financial Services’ client service was subpar. They never were on the ‘excellent’ side of the spectrum. No, they were more on the ‘Not Bad’ side of that spectrum. But I had never faced any issues with their service so I never had to complain about anything.

I wouldn’t go into the details of what exactly transpired between me and certain staff members of Kaplan Financial Services here because I don’t want to repeat myself again. Moreover, I want to save my privacy.

Sharing those details would expose my details and I don’t want to do that. The reason why I chose to post my complaint on this platform is because it allows me to do so with anonymity.

I don’t have to share my personal details to add a review here. All you need to know is that one of their staff members talked very disrespectfully with me and used a very harsh tone.

It was very shocking for me. At that time, I didn’t say anything to that person nor did I think of complaining about it. However, I thought I must point out the event to Susan at least as it’s not good for a financial advisory firm to treat a client with so much disrespect. It’s unprofessional and certainly not okay by any standards.

But to my surprise, I didn’t receive any response for my email. When I talked to her staff later, it seemed as if my complaint had no effect on anyone. That particular staff member used the same harsh tone they had used before. It felt as if Susan and her staff didn’t care about my complaint at all.

I was surprised and disappointed. The least they could have done is tell that staff member to work on their behaviour and tone. It’s not okay for any financial firm to have such rude and selfish staff members. But it’s clear to me that Susan and her staff at Kaplan Financial Services only care about themselves.

The way Kaplan Financial Services handles its clients’ complaints is very disappointing. They don’t address their clients’ complaints at all. In my opinion, it’s very disrespectful and insulting. 

Do I Recommend Kaplan Financial Services? No!

The title says it all. I don’t recommend doing business with this financial advisory firm. It’s clear to me that everyone at this firm is pretentious and selfish. They pretend to care about you but they don’t actually. Those people only care about their paychecks and themselves. If you really want to hire a financial advisory firm, you should look someplace else. These people will only disappoint you.

Terrible Client Service

Susan Kaplan and her firm are very pretentious. I don't recommend working with such a pretentious bunch of people. They don't care about client service and the criticism they receive.

    I have been a client with Kaplan Financial for a long time and I can honestly say that I am very satisfied. Whenever I have a question, the call is returned quickly and answered thoroughly. I always do better than comparisons and am very pleased.

    This smells of a promo for another advisor. Having dealt with everyone there from the people answering the calls to Susan and Ann I can say without ANY hesitation that at no time have we experienced anything short of personal, topnotch interaction.

    + PROS: Personal, respectful discussions regarding review, goals and plans. We have been clients since 2005.
    - CONS: None whatsoever
