We came to Ryan in 2016 and signed up to complete a $2,500 Financial Plan. At the time, the minimum manageable asset to have Ryan take on our portfolio was $250K. Fast forward five years, and we've reached the minimum threshold. However, Ryan moved the target and increased his minimum to one million.

I'm glad for him that his business has done well. But had we known our finances would never catch up to qualify for his management services as he increases his minimum threshold, I would never have shelled out our hard earned cash to pay for a financial plan from an unattainable advisor

The most difficult part for me in my journey of finding the right financial advisor was trust. After about a half a year of meeting with several different types of financial advisors, once I met Ryan, I immediately knew I was going to stay with him. Ryan is a professional in his field and you can expect great communication and transparency. Ryan will take his time to explain any questions or concerns that you might have as a client. My experience and results with him have been amazing.

Highly recommend Ryan and his team. They have surpassed my expectations in what to expect from a financial advisor. Ryan is transparent, communicative, and responsive. He has spent so much time answering my questions, explaining market trends, and mapping out a financial plan to help me understand what's realistic and how different decisions may put me on different trajectories. He also sends out regular newsletters with his thoughts on the economy and how to think about different market changes, which I love. Really happy with Ryan and his team and feel much more secure with my financial

When my husband passed away last summer, I felt not only the pain of losing my life partner, but the concern and uncertainty of how I was going to handle my new financial situation, remain self=sufficient, and plan for the future. A friend referred me to Ryan, praising his professionalism and competence. Although in the midst of the COVID pandemic, Ryan sensed my anxiety and offered to meet with me in person. Both he and his assistant, Alyssa, provided not only the financial expertise and guidance which I needed; but were exceptionally kind and supportive during each of our sessions, as well as

We interviewed multiple financial advisors and are very happy with our decision to work with Ryan and Bull Oak Capital. We have had 2 meetings now and Ryan has gone above and beyond with the personalized service, being transparent and very knowledgeable in both the financial planning and portfolio management areas. We are already seeing a difference in our investments and we look forward to a very long and productive relationship with Bull Oak Capital.

Ryan and his team provide world class financial advice on a very personal level. We chose Bull Oak because it is local to San Diego, and we did not want to deal with one of the large, impersonal firms to advise us on our investments and plan for retirement. We could not be happier with the service and we highly recommend Bull Oak Capital.
