Oakhurst Financial is a fee-only financial planning, investment management, and tax firm in Los Altos, California.
As Financial Planners, we offer an integrated, comprehensive approach to investments, retirement planning, tax planning, and tax preparation. We analyze the tax implications of your investment strategies to optimize what really matters to you: what you keep after taxes. And we don't just prepare tax returns in isolation, but instead help you plan your financial strategies throughout the following year.
Our fee-only approach means that we accept no commissions for selling any products, nor do we benefit from recommending any particular course of action. We look out for what is right for you.
Our planning and investment advice is offered hourly, by the project, or for an annual retainer. You get to choose what fits you. Tax preparation is done for a very competitive fixed fee, determined by the complexity of your returns.
History
Established in 2012.
Oakhurst Financial was established to help people in Silicon Valley with their financial needs, not make a lot of money for its founder.
People with lots of money to invest can always find someone that will help them invest it, but everyone has financial questions and issues that need to be addressed. We can help with allocating 401(k)'s, planning for college, deciding when you're able to retire, preparing your taxes, suggesting how much insurance you need, and many more areas.
