About Brian Kelley

Brian Kelley is a driving force behind all we do for our clients at Oath Planning.

Growing up with four older sisters, Brian understood the significance of forging strong connections and nurturing relationships early on. With a father who worked in estate planning and a mother who taught at his grade school, the values of education, family, and planning were deeply rooted in him.

After pursuing a BA in Accounting from the University of Oklahoma, numbers became his forte. However, he recognized his heart's desire for more meaningful interpersonal connections than his accounting path could offer.

In 2017, Brian joined the Oath team as a project manager. During that time, he discovered his calling to become a financial advisor. Identifying a crucial need for clients to have fiduciary support in their financial planning, he embraced this transition with open arms.

Brian is enthusiastic about helping families achieve their financial goals, and he treasures the connections with our clients that make his role truly rewarding.

Outside the professional sphere, he is passionate about his vinyl collection, taking leisurely strolls with his dog, and exploring new travel destinations.

										While developing and refining our long-term investment strategy as retirees, we have depended on Brian for his expert advice on what pathways are in our best interests. He has delivered the guidance we have needed so superbly. His knowledge, and patience in explaining matters, give us great confidence in the steps we have taken. Moreover, in every conversation with Brian, he has shown keen interest in our well being, financial and otherwise. He makes clients like us feel as if we are part of the Oath family.

										After working with Oath Law to create estate planning we agreed to meet with Michael to review our investments. We didn’t plan to change anything but were interested in his ideas. When we realized we could radically simplify our accounts by bringing them into Altruist Financials under the management of Michael and Alex we felt relief! We understand much better what is going on with our investments, they took care of moving things into our new trust, and they continue to meet with us anytime we need help with anything involving our funds. They listen and explain clearly. They are always patient. We are free of the sneaky hidden fees from our former investment programs, and our funds are doing very well. We couldn’t be more pleased.

										I have been working with Brian for the past year planning my long term retirement strategy and in developing an overall investment plan to meet my retirement financial goals. Brian has been an excellent guide in helping me to define the investment goals and strategies that will maximize my earnings potential over the next 30 years and I have found him to be both knowledgeable and diligent in helping me to realize my plan. He has been instructive and patient in helping me understand the investment options available to me and has stayed in contact with me on a regular basis, checking in and answering any questions that I may have. As a result, I have developed great trust and confidence in Brian and feel extremely fortunate to be working with such a capable and competent financial adviser.

										It has been a little over a year now that I have worked with Brian and his team at Oath Financial. Even though my money was working hard, we developed strategies that resulted in greater saving and the money working even harder than it had in the past. Incorporating my Financial Plan into my Estate Plan was one of my better moves giving me greater peace of mind

Exceptionally knowledgeable & very trust worthy advisor

Jul 13, 2026
										I started working with Brian two (2) years ago, and as a relatively new client, I must say he is the most kind, knowledgeable, professional & trust worthy financial advisor I have ever worked with! I came to him/Oath Planning during a rocky transitional time of medical disability and early forced retirement, and needed a resource to help guide me through the next financial stage of my life. He worked very close with me to review my current assets and understand what my goals were for my remaining years on this earth. The his knowledge, in addition to the various tools used, projections, etc., tremendously helped me understand how stable my retirement years may be. He has done a phenomenal job in monitoring and managing my accounts, and alerting me of certain situations proactively so we can address them accordingly. I have been EXTREMELY pleased with the efforts (and results!) Brian has provided. I can now easily breathe a huge sigh of relief (and gratitude!) that my retirement years are becoming the reality I have always envisioned. Thank you Brian for everything you do!

										We love Oath! Alec is our point of contact. I love how we are always able to reach out to the same person. He knows us, we chat, and he checks up on us regularly. Something we truly appreciate. Oath handles our estate planning and investments smoothly and professionally. This is by far the best firm we have worked with.

										I utilized Oath Planning for my Family Trust and my investments.  The Trust was not difficult because they are highly organized and answered all questions.

The Fidelity Investments are expertly managed, and my money is moved to maximize growth.  Looking to transfer moey from employer 401K into Oath management rather that the single Fidelity fund.
