What Silver Oak Securities does

Silver Oak Securities, Inc. is an independent, full-service broker dealer and SEC Registered Investment Advisor founded in 1999 and headquartered in Jackson, Tennessee. The firm serves independent wealth advisors who maintain direct, trusted relationships with their clients, operating as an advisor-owned entity with a long-term business orientation.

The firm's core offering is an intelligent and collaborative wealth management platform that connects financial leaders to their business and provides front-to-back-office tooling. Underlying the platform are third-party integrations including the Orion Client Portal (Orion Advisor Solutions) for account and portfolio access, the DST Client Portal (VIS Investor) for client account management, SilverHQ as an internal advisor hub, and a TaxStatus partnership delivering IRS-verified financial data. Products and services span broker dealer execution, SEC-registered investment advisory services, and a full range of products for end investors.

Silver Oak generates revenue through subscription-style recurring fees charged to independent advisors for platform access, regulatory compliance support, and wealth management tools. Its customer base is concentrated in the independent wealth advisor segment, and its geographic focus is the Southern United States. The firm has 101-250 employees, has not raised institutional capital beyond a single $50,000 round in 2019, and is privately held with no public ticker, parent company, or institutional investor ownership disclosed.
