About

Valley Oak Investment Strategies provides comprehensive financial planning, consulting, investment management, and retirement plan consulting to business owners, individuals, families, corporations, charities, and pension/profit-sharing plans. The firm emphasizes tax planning for business owners and offers both full financial plans and single-topic consulting engagements alongside ongoing portfolio oversight.

The firm develops customized plans through client interviews and maps client objectives to model portfolios and third‑party sub-advisers, using tools from the Altruist Model Marketplace and other platforms to implement strategies. Valley Oak typically seeks discretionary authority for portfolio implementation, monitors sub-advisers for adherence to chosen strategies, and rebalances portfolios as needed to maintain intended allocations.

Noteworthy operational features disclosed in the brochure include affiliations that are less common for similar-sized firms: advisory personnel are licensed insurance professionals and the firm has a relationship with a broker‑dealer, arrangements the brochure identifies as creating potential commission‑based conflicts of interest. The firm also maintains institutional relationships with platform providers (including a recently established relationship with Betterment and participation in Altruist’s Model Marketplace and Altruist One program), giving it access to third‑party model portfolios, tax‑management tools, and platform benefits not always available at peers.

Not sure where to start?

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.

Find your advisor

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.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
