Who We Are

Independent Financial Advice Perth – Oak Advisory

Oak Advisory was founded on the principle that great financial advice can only be truly valuable when it’s independent. That’s why we’re not owned by a bank, affiliated with insurers, or tied to any financial product providers. Our advice is completely unbiased and always focused on one thing – what’s best for you.

At Oak Advisory, we deliver independent financial advice Perth residents can count on – free from sales pressure, or bias. Just honest, expert guidance tailored to your future.

We specialise exclusively in retirement planning advice for clients in Perth. By focusing on one area, we’re able to provide deeper expertise, more personalised strategies, and the kind of high-quality advice that generalist firms simply can’t match.

Oak Advisory is a small, dedicated team – and that’s by design. We pride ourselves on building genuine relationships, where every team member knows every client by name. When you work with us, you’re never just a number.

Our Principles
We’re guided by a few simple but powerful principles:

  • Always act fairly, honestly and professionally
  • Deliver exceptional quality financial advice
  • Charge fair, transparent fees that reflect the value we provide

Meet James Harper – Director & Retirement Planning Specialist

James Harper founded Oak Advisory after recognising how hard it was to find truly independent financial advice in Perth – especially for those planning retirement.

Too often, advisers try to cover every area of financial advice. James took a different path. He firmly believes that, like medicine and law, financial advisers should focus on their own specialist areas.

That’s why he’s chosen to focus exclusively on retirement planning – helping people prepare, protect, and thrive in retirement.

James is one of the few advisers in Australia who holds both:

  • Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) designation
  • Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA) qualification

He also holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Western Australia, as well as a Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Financial Planning. James was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for outstanding results in his CPA studies.

If you need independent, expert financial advice, and want a financial strategy that works for you – we’re here to help.
