Sagemark Consulting

What Sagemark Consulting does

Sagemark Consulting is a wealth management and financial advisory practice headquartered in Irvine, California, serving high-net-worth individuals, families, and business owners. It operates as a marketing name for Osaic FA, Inc., with securities offered through Osaic Wealth, Inc. (member FINRA/SIPC), and is part of the broader Osaic financial services network. The firm is registered to serve residents across 19 U.S. states (AL, AZ, CA, FL, GA, ID, IN, KS, MT, NC, NJ, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, TN, TX, VA, WA) and maintains affiliated offices in Westlake Village and La Jolla in addition to its Irvine headquarters.

The firm's offerings are organized around four core service lines: Financial Planning (cash flow and budgeting, retirement income, insurance analysis, education funding); Investment Planning (asset allocation, performance reporting, account aggregation, employee stock options); Estate Planning (wills, trusts, estate tax reduction, charitable planning); and Business Owner Planning (succession, buy-sell agreements, executive compensation, business valuation). Supporting the advisory practice is an extensive digital learning center — calculators, magazine-style flipbooks, monthly newsletters, short educational videos, research articles, a financial glossary, and a tax library — used for top-of-funnel prospect engagement. The underlying technology is non-proprietary; service delivery is advisor-led through a documented six-step wealth management process (Discovery → Goals and Objectives → Identify → Strategy → Solutions → Evaluate).

The business model is a fee-based advisory practice, with revenue generated through financial advisory fees for wealth management, investment management, and estate planning services. Distribution is direct and relationship-driven, with client engagement occurring through phone, email, and in-person consultations. The team of approximately 10 members holds a dense cluster of designations (CFP, CRPC, JD, LLM, MBA, ChFC, CWS, CBEC), and lead advisor Jack Kaewpalug, CFP, has been continuously affiliated with the firm for over 32 years. No pricing tiers, AUM figures, or revenue disclosures are publicly available.
