MEET THE SILVER OAK TEAM

Every independent financial professional remembers the truly great firm they worked with – the one that was friendly, responsive and forward-thinking. The one that cared about you and your clients, and understood where you wanted your practice to go. The one that trusted you to make the best decisions for your clients – and empowered you to do so.

That’s the firm we built Silver Oak to be.

THE STORY BEHIND SILVER OAK...

It started as a small broker-dealer supporting commission-only reps in 1999, and has evolved over time into a full-service financial institution offering a comprehensive suite of advisory solutions. At Silver Oak, we have a passion for the independent financial professional, and we’re fueled by helping them serve their clients the best way they know how.
