Who We Are

At 1.oak Financial, we don’t start with the numbers, we start with you. Our focus is on leading with your story, not products and impersonal portfolios. We take the time to understand your values, your vision for retirement, and what legacy truly means to you. Our process is deeply collaborative, emotionally intelligent, and rooted in care because financial planning isn’t just about wealth, it’s about how you want to live. With modern tools and a clear strategy, we help you build a future that is uniquely yours.

Our vision is a world where everyday people live in the most fulfilled, empowered, and soul-aligned way, not by chance, but by strategy rooted in their truth. Where educating each generation on finances is as common as teaching them to dream, because financial literacy is freedom, and your legacy is the future you create for others

What Sets Us Apart:

  • We listen first, then plan — your story shapes the strategy
  • Legacy is central, not an afterthought
  • You get a full team — not just a planner
  • The One of a Kind Financial Plan™ is tailored to you
  • We use modern tools to make the complex simple

About 1.oak Financial

Our mission is to disrupt the financial industry by serving those who don’t fit the mold. By honoring your full story, from where you started to where you’re headed, we use holistic tools and adaptive strategies to help you better understand your finances and develop a plan tailored to your unique goals.

At 1.oak Financial, our core values are more than just words — they are the guiding principles that shape every relationship, decision, and plan we create. These values reflect who we are, how we serve, and the standard we hold ourselves to each day.

Our Four Core Values

People First, Always.

We lead with empathy, not ego. Your story, your values, and your dreams shape every step of your plan — because we don’t serve portfolios, we serve people. Family, legacy, and emotional wellness come before profit, pressure, or performance.

Community Impact.

We are committed to a larger purpose. We use our resources to support growth and change in the communities around us.

Financial Fluency.

We teach in a way that connects to real life. Our goal is to provide clear, informed guidance to help you make confident decisions. We continuously improve our capabilities to better support your financial journey. Our team completes ongoing education to turn complex financial shifts into simple, smart strategies.

Learn the Rules, Rewrite the Game.

We’re flipping the script on financial planning. No jargon or gatekeeping. Just smarter tools, better conversations, and a values-driven approach that meets people where they are and moves them forward.
