About Me

Brett Fellows, CFP® began his career in the golf industry in 1996. Eventually, he worked his way up to vice president of a multi-facility golf operating company. In 2005, Brett decided to take what he had learned as a small business owner to help other busy professionals with business and financial planning. As a result, he founded Oak Capital Advisors and has since dedicated his career to helping people reduce risk, minimize taxes, and invest smarter so they can confidently retire on their terms.

Brett is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and a proud graduate of Bentley University, a national leader in business education. In 2022, he was named a Top 100 Financial Advisor in the U.S. by Investopedia.

We’ve entrusted Brett with our financial planning for over 12 years. He guided us through the retirement planning process and now that we are retired, he is guiding us through tax management and estate planning. His knowledge of financial markets and economic indicators is superb and we are 100% confident and trusting in his counsel. I have recommended him to others and will continue to do so.

My husband and I have been working with Brett for over 10 years now. Not only did Brett come with a wealth of experience and knowledge but the interest of us as a young family and wanting to guide us in our wealth planning for the future. He really gives us a sense of security knowing we can count on him in helping us make financial decisions for our retirement.

Brett Fellows has been such an important part of my retirement planning

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Jun 20, 2024
I looked to Brett to become my financial advisor about 10 years ago after I was turned off by my previous institutional "advisor in a box" seemed to only want to offer me certain products, clearly a sign that their advisors have a personal stake in getting me to sign up for something that either paid them some form of special commissions or otherwise. I might with Brett after hearing good things from friends around his services and I particularly wanted to get a rolled over 401k into a more dynamic, actively managed portfolio. I was most impressed in his understanding of my primary goal - to grow my wealth towards attaining an early retirement, but also keeping my risk as low as possible; as well as helping me understand all of the costs that I was going to need to consider to put my daughter's through college (and not having that ruin my retirement plans). I'm happy to say every time my wife and I talk with Brett it feels to me like he's as good a friend to us as he is a personal advisor, not just a financial advisor. We see eye to eye on priorities and I appreciate his advice very much!!

I have been with Brett for many years through my place of employment. After retiring, my husband & I started an additional account. Brett keeps up with all of the latest financial news and provides excellent advice for us! I recently referred our nephew to Brett for financial advice! That says a lot!

Securing my financial future with Oak Capital Advisors was the best decision I ever made!

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Jun 8, 2024
I have been a client of Oak Capital Advisors since 2015. From my first meeting with Brett to now, almost 10 years later, I couldn’t be more confident of my decision to invest and entrust my financial future with him and the firm. Brett truly cares about me and my family on both a financial wellness and a personal level. He has started every meeting for the last ten years asking about my mom, my job, vacations and fun things we have planned, etc. as building a personal relationship has always been a foundational component of his business. From day 1, Oak Capital Advisors has delivered expert financial advice with professionalism and clear communication practices. I always feel a sense of security and relief after each of my meetings with Brett. Additionally, Brett has been there for me and my family whenever we have needed him, not just on planned meetings. From managing my finances through a global pandemic, to big life decisions (job changes, home purchases and improvements) Brett has been my trusted advisor. My financial plan was tailored for me personally based on my stage of life and the detail that was put into that very first meeting is the same level of detail we review every time we meet. Over the past ~9 years Brett has continued to personalize and update my financial strategy based on my personal life events ensuring my financial future is secure. I’m so grateful for Brett and the team at Oak Capital Advisors as 9 years ago I made the best decision to trust them with my financial future.

Brett has been our advisor for close to a decade, and he is always reliable, trustworthy, thoughtful, and responsive. We have been lucky to have him help us think through major life decisions such as sending a child to college, starting a business, and planning for retirement. In particular, I appreciate how he is always willing to take the time to thoroughly explain complicated financial investments.

I've worked with Brett for several years and he has a keen grasp of the market, trends, and opportunities. He has helped me navigate retirement accounts as well as personal investments. The goal has always been to outperform the market while minimizing risk and Brett has consistently set my family up to do that. He is friendly and easy to talk to and can dial up or down the terminology depending on the audience. We continue to trust Brett and his guidance.

Brett was recommended by our son. My husband and I started with Brett almost 8 years ago. Since we are in our 70’s , Brett has been instrumental in insuring we have all the proper paperwork for end-of-life decisions as well as directing most of our wealth in secure investments. While my husband would need to speak for himself, i am confident that if I were a widow, Brett would help me make initial decisions as needed. He is also helping us navigate Continuing Care Retirement Community finances should we take that route. When we have an important or general question, Brett is very responsive and thorough in his answer. Brett us a fine man. I so appreciate all the help he continues to give us.

Brett is wonderful! He has been my financial advisor for years. He is very knowledgeable and spends time educating me on the breakdown of numbers. I appreciate that he has gotten to know me and my husband and helps us set goals as a family with our finances. I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with our families finances!
