I know my retirement funds are in good hands! I like having a “local office” that I can drop in on or call for an appointment and always get one promptly. Once in the office I am always treated as “the one who is important”; everyone is always cheerful and gives you their full attention, and answers any questions I may have. Thanks, Joe and Linda for your dedication and service.”

Extremely Happy with all of the Help and Guidance

“We are extremely happy with all of the help and guidance that Joe and the Oak and Stone team have given us over the past several years. As I approached retirement, I had numerous concerns about our overall financial condition. Joe took the time to understand our goals, to recommend strategies to achieve those goals, and to explain these strategies to us. They helped us set up a long-term care plan, and helped us consolidate numerous retirement accounts that we had acquired over the years. One of the things I most like is their “eMoney” portal. Using that, I can see how all of our assets are doing at any time. Thank you to Joe and his Oak and Stone team for all of your expert advice.”
