About
Oaktree Financial Planning and Consulting serves individual investors through fee-only financial planning and investment consultation, offering tailored advice, educational workshops, and one-off or project engagements. The firm operates as a small, solo practice serving a limited number of clients and generally performs work on an hourly or fixed-fee basis rather than through ongoing advisory relationships.
The firm’s investment approach emphasizes long-term, buy-and-hold allocation using diversified, cost-efficient index mutual funds and ETFs, with asset allocation and periodic rebalancing as primary tools. Oaktree provides non-discretionary investment consultation—clients retain implementation decisions and custody of assets—and the adviser typically does not provide continuous portfolio supervision.
What is unusual compared with many independent peers is that Oaktree does not manage client portfolios or charge percentage-of-assets-under-management fees, instead focusing on consultative planning engagements and fixed/hourly arrangements. The principal combines CFP designation and a retired CPA background with prior senior corporate finance roles, and the firm discloses a policy against commission-based recommendations, trailer fees, and soft-dollar arrangements.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
