How we work

Virtual financial planning, in every state

You don't need a local financial advisor. Every Oaks meeting is a virtual appointment, so we work with anyone in every state, and you can book the first conversation online today. What matters isn't the distance between us. It's that the person across the screen is a fiduciary, teaches before they plan, and actually has time for you.

Do I need a local financial advisor?

No. "Local" used to buy you two things: a handshake and a short drive. Neither one changes the quality of the plan. What you actually need is someone who is legally required to put your interests first, who explains a recommendation before making it, and who has room on the calendar when something in your life changes. All three travel over a video link just fine.

The one honest reason to insist on local is that you want to sit in an office. We don't keep one. There is no office to walk into, for anyone: every client gets the same advisor, the same plan, and the same attention from their own kitchen table.

Where is your team based?

Our team works from Apple Valley, Minnesota and Fort Myers, Florida. We don't keep a public office, so there is no address to visit. Every meeting is a virtual appointment, wherever you are.

Which states do you work in?

Anyone in the United States. Every meeting is a virtual appointment, so where you live makes no difference to the plan you get. Just tell us where you are and we take it from there.

How a virtual meeting actually works

How soon can we talk?

Book a time directly on our calendar, or call. The first conversation is free, by virtual appointment, and there is nothing to buy and no obligation. If you would rather start with a question than a meeting, the contact form reaches a person, not a queue.

What the first conversation is

We mostly listen. You tell us what is on your mind, we help you understand where you actually stand, and you leave with something useful whether or not we ever talk again. We teach first and plan second, which is why the guide library and the tools are free: they are the same education, just without the conversation.

Not sure which side of the practice fits you? Building Wealth is for people still earning and growing. Planning Retirement is for people turning decades of saving into predictable, tax-efficient income. And if you own a business, Owning a Business covers the business side: protecting it, keeping key people, your own retirement plan, and succession. Whichever fits, the first step is the same call.

Ready when you are.

No office to walk into. Just meet us from home, from any state.
