About
Eight Oaks Financial, based in Irvine, California, provides financial planning and investment management to high-net-worth clients. Founded by Andy Chatham in the mid-1990s and partnered with LPL Financial, the firm operates under a fiduciary standard through fee-based advisory accounts. The team includes partners with combined experience spanning three decades, supported by staff holding Series 6, Series 7, Series 63, CFA, and insurance licenses. The firm's approach centers on a four-step planning process: introductory meetings to identify goals, fact-finding to understand financial complexity, recommendations addressing retirement, risk management and insurance, and ongoing progress meetings.
