Dan Parsons – 29 Oct 2024     "As a self-employed professional married to a teacher, I’ve was using TurboTax for years thinking that the software would provide the necessary guidance to maximize our deductions. Was I wrong! This year, having an expert prepare my taxes made all the difference. Jason and his team identified many strategies that I was completely missing all these years and he is now helping us structure our business to benefit in future years. Jason is easy to work with, super-responsive, and very insightful into our professional and small-business needs. Thank you Jason!"

Albert Gross – 28 Oct 2024     "I am so thankful for meeting Jason and for all the support that he has given me thus far! Jason has diverse international business experience and shares my deep connection with Japan. He understands my situation and is able to advise me on the key tax strategies to guide me on the best way to structure my business. He is always willing to help out and straight-forward with his feedback. He has educated me and changed my perspective on taxes, real estate investing, and life in general. Jason is good-hearted, trustworthy, and open to new ideas. I deeply appreciate his friendship and support, and [I] would recommend his services to anyone who is looking for a tax advisor and so much more."

Eric Shepherd – 27 Oct 2024     "About five years back, when the company I'd been working for suddenly and unexpectedly lost the contract I was on, it provided me with the opportunity of finding a new home for some of my savings from the past fifteen years. Savings I had hoped would one day serve as a sufficient down-payment on a house in Okinawa. "

    "I had been acquainted with Mr. DeHarty from years past and knew him as the person I could trust to set me on the right path. When I explained the situation, he promptly set us a meeting where he laid out my options and advised on how I should proceed. From there he helped with an account for me through RL360 and assisted with the initial large money transfer. "

    "The plan moving forward, as advised by Mr. DeHarty, was to grow these funds as quickly and safely as possible while we searched for the house and land we wanted. By the time we finally found what we were looking for roughly four years later, the account had grown substantially, and the ¥: $ was heavily in our favor. Once again, we turned to Mr. DeHarty for advice, which this time was time-sensitive and little of it to spare. "

    "Mr. DeHarty had the answer ready as if he were waiting for us to ask the question. He promptly coordinated meetings with both RL360, and GC Partners to conduct a high-value international money transfer at a significantly higher rate than anywhere I could exchange locally. From us finding the house to it being paid for and in our name, it took less than three months despite doing it over the Dec-Jan holidays!"

    "We owe the rest of our future on this beautiful island to all the teams at ISG, Royal London, and GC Partners, but even more so to the wonderful Mr. David DeHarty for overseeing the entire thing, thank you."

Brian Kramer – 07 Nov 2017     "David DeHarty was very helpful in setting me up for an international transfer. The alternatives I had here locally were either not safe and or not a good rate for changing over that amount of money. David knew I was looking to get a house in Okinawa Japan, and had done other business with me with opening me a Royal London account through ISG. He connected me with Joe Cooke in the UK and the conversations went from there. I was able to lock in a rate, and hold the money there until the day I was ready to have it transferred. Money arrived promptly which was necessary for it to be there during the "ceremony" the Japanese have when it comes to purchasing a house. Thanks again for the help."

David Clement – 09 May 2016     "In 2009 I attended an ISG tax event. At that time ISG introduced a wide range of financial services including tax preparation and real-estate investment. I initially asked an ISG group member to review my taxes for the past 10 years to see if there was anything I missed. We discover potential tax refunds worth $30,000 and refiled 7 years of taxes. Over the next year I was able to recover the majority of the refund. "

    "Since then ISG has helped me to buy three Residential buildings in Japan and a solar farm. Each transaction was in fact problematic with regards to Japanese tax authority understanding, Property Management Operations and delivery of critical components. However, ISG stood by me and I expect all the investments I have done via ISG to be profitable and solid. Depending on the investors circumstance ISG may be able to help. I can recommend that anyone listen to ISG explain what they can do for you, as they have provided a valuable and unique service."

Daniel Oesterman – 17 Jan 2013     "With all the stories of the IRS in the news, I wanted to get my taxes straight. I have been living over sees for many years and have had problems understanding the different forms and what I qualify for, and where to get these forms. When I went to the local US Consulate they only had the basic forms and said I would need to download what I needed. How would I know what form I needed? In the past the IRS had refused to accept many of my claims and failed to respond to me when they owed me money. So, I fell behind in filling but didn't know where to turn for help understanding what to do and how to do it."

    "So when my friend told me that ISG in Tokyo could help me get caught up to date I was excited. I didn't expect a return, I just wanted to get "right" with the IRS. They did more than that, they told me I should be getting $12,000 back and put all the documents together for me."

    "I have one less worry now. I am happy to write this testimony. I will recommend International Solution Group to all my friends. I am now setting up an offshore account for my future. I know who will be handling my business."

    "Thank you again!"

James G Meredith – 13 Nov 2012     "I am working overseas I missed filing a few years of my taxes and the IRS sent me letter claiming I owed them well over $50,000, I said WHAT! They even sent me a nasty letter stating that they would take money directly out if my US bank accounts and investments and seize my property! How dare they! I had no idea what to do, so I urgently called my friend who works at International Solution Group in Tokyo."

    "Within hours I had confirmation from the ISG tax accountant that they would be able to sort this claim out. In fact better than sort out the debt, but to reverse this, and actually get me back $800 bucks for 2009 and 2010 taxes. WOW no way! A $50,000 + tax bill turned into $800 bucks in my pocket that I missed claiming! Thank you IRS for coming after me... Thank you ISG for covering my A(*(!!"

    "I would highly recommend ISG to any one. As they have the skills and the people to protect anybody. Win win I say, they worked hard for me, and I am happy to write this testimonial to show my appreciation."

    "Thank you ISG,"

Peter – 15 Oct 2010     "When I came to ISG and Jason Hurst, my Zurich Vista policy was worth half of what I had invested. The funds that I had invested in were losing value and hence I was losing money. I got Jason’s number from Zurich International and I contacted him about what he can do to help me turn around my policy and help me make money on my investments. From the first phone call I had with Jason, I got nothing but professionalism from Jason; everything from his prompt communications with the customers to accommodating the customers’ needs to make them feel at ease. I have been with ISG for a little over a year now and my Zurich policy is worth more than the money I have placed in the funds. Jason accommodated my needs including get monthly evaluations from Zurich and that help me keep track of my investments and change the composition of my investment whenever needed. All in all, I am very satisfied with Jason Hurst and ISG and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to invest some of their hard-earned cash and watch their money grow."

David Michael – 10 Oct 2010     "I'm writing this testimony to express my appreciation to Jason Hurst, a administration planner with International Solution Group (ISG). In 2005, I started a Zurich savings plan with a Tokyo based administration planner, to fund my retirement. In early 2010, after 5 fruitless years I changed administration planners and decided to use Jason Hurst. Although I have only been using ISG since early 2010, I am more than satisfied with not only the direction my investments are heading in, but also the level of service offered by Jason Hurst."

    "The 5 years spent with the former administration planner were an extremely frustrating and disappointing period, both financially and mentally. During this period irrespective of market performance my investments never changed. Despite having under performing stocks and communicating my unhappiness a number of times I was always sent a variation of "these stocks are well placed for the future, I recommend you hold them.""

    "Never was I advised as to my investment options or the reasons why I should keep the stocks. I was left with the feeling that I was just a small investor and my portfolio wasn't of real concern. My frustration caused me to suspend my contributions for over 1 year and if it weren't for the termination penalty clause I would have cashed out the policy."

    "In early 2010 a friend of mine recommended I contact Jason Hurst and after talking to him I decided to change administration planners. It was definitely the correct decision as Jason has provided me with efficient, reliable, first rate service. Unlike previously, Jason has always asked as to my financial goals and then explained the investment options, a practice that has let me make informed decisions. Also, taking advantage of the weak US dollar he has shown me how to get more value from my plan."

    "I've also been pleased with ISG's customer focus, a focus that ensures there is regular contact and an offering of information and services to the customer. I understand that administration planning isn't an exact science but I have confidence that Jason is not only actively trying to get the best return for me but is available to provide advice and information when needed. Due to these reasons I have no hesitation in recommending Jason Hurst as a administration planner."

Sven – 14 Sep 2010     "From several investments that I have made in the past few years, the Generali Vision proved as one of the best and especially it went through the Lehman Shock as if nothing ever happened. This was surely to a large amount thanks to Jason Hurst from ISG, who I was luckily introduced to by a friend when not only the same plan was down about 15%, but I also was really unhappy with the way my former advisor treated my investment and my concerns. Jason has always been there for me from the beginning on, changed my investments in a way that it has now turned into a 15% plus and is still giving me excellent service with fast communication, clear response to my concerns and personal meetings whenever I wish. This makes me feel safe and in good hands."

James – 12 Sep 2010     "I have been part of the Universal Retirement plan with Hansard for about eight years, and once it had initially been set up, I pretty much did not pay any attention to what was happening to it for five years or so. During that time a lot of the initial funds I was investing in were not giving much growth or had ceased to grow at all. Despite this, no one from the initial company I had set the scheme up with had bothered to contact me about reviewing my funds or generally how my scheme was progressing."

    "Jason Hurst and ISG were recommended to me by a friend, and he met with me to discuss my plan fairly promptly after I first mailed. Jason made immediate recommendations about which funds I should cease to invest in, and which funds to invest in from this point on. The explanations were very clear and easy enough for someone like me who has no economics background and very little knowledge of how stocks and the market work to understand. Jason very simply explained what documents I needed to sign, and then took care of the transfers for me. It was all very painless. Thanks to his advice, my plan is heading in a much better direction, and I can visibly see the funds growing, whereas before they were stagnating."

    "What has most impressed me about Jason and ISG is that he regularly keeps in contact with his clients, either through meeting them directly to give a rundown on how your plan is going, or through regular emails, highlighting major moves in the market, and good investment opportunities. He also regularly recommends new schemes that he thinks might suit your financial situation, which is really helpful. Another great thing about ISG is that you can log in to their home page anytime and view for yourself regular statements from (in my case) Hansard."

    "I have known Jason now for just over two years, and I have found him to be very friendly, knowledgeable without being overbearing, prompt in replying to enquiries, and most importantly, trustworthy. I am very comfortable with my Hansard plans being in his hands, and recently under his advice have just started a life insurance scheme through Hansard."

Marco – 10 Sep 2010     "I have been a Zurich saving plan account holder for quite some years and to be honest there was a time I did not feel happy about it. This was mainly because of the agent handling my account. In the tough turmoil years of 2008/2009 where I really needed a helping hand with my portfolio I did not receive any substantial support from him. Instead of saving money I was loosing money. So I was very happy when ISG Japan offered me to take care of my Zurich account and to turn it into something I can consider right now to be a good investment into the future. Thumbs up. The guys did a great job!"
