About Me
Hi, I’m Grant Bledsoe.I work with business owners & entrepreneurs across the country. I find that many business owners devote all their attention and energy to building a successful business, but all too often they neglect their personal finances in the process. I help my clients conceptualize their ideal life, and then help them arrange their business and financial puzzle to achieve it.
To do this my firm offers a few different services: comprehensive financial planning, investment management, and retirement plan management.
These services cover the spectrum of challenges that business owners typically face:
·Building consistent cash flow to support your lifestyle
·Minimizing your personal and business tax liabilities
·Protecting your personal and business assets against liability
·Protecting your business against death, disability, or departure of one or more key people, including yourself
·Structuring your business in a way that supports & builds your personal wealth and ideal life
To deliver our planning services my firm has developed a process we call Confidence in Advanced Planning. Over the course of 3-5 initial meetings, we help our clients chart a course from where they are today to wherever it is they’d like to go in the future. Throughout the process we assess their financial strengths & vulnerabilities, answer any lingering questions, and build a step by step guide that will give them a very high chance of reaching their objectives. We then execute that plan over time, and make real time adjustments as our clients’ lives and the world around them evolve.
Here’s a little more about my background:
I started my career in finance at Charles Schwab after finishing my MBA, working on their institutional securities lending desk in both Denver and San Francisco. After seven years, I realized I wanted to help people more directly in an unbiased setting as a fiduciary. To do this I launched Three Oaks Wealth and structured it as a fee-only registered investment advisory firm. I’m not compensated by anyone but my clients directly, and am legally bound to act in their best interests.
On paper I hold the following credentials:
·CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®)
·Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA)
·MBA from Ithaca College, concentrating in finance
·B.S. in Applied Economics, also from Ithaca College
On a personal note, I live in Sacramento, CA with my wife, two sons, and daughter. I’m a huge fan of the Seattle Mariners (and baseball in general), and love spending time outside & exploring the outdoors in our area.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.

We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover the most trusted and authentic financial advisors and educators in the finance community.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
Report abuse. Thank you for helping us ensure reviews on Wealthtender are helpful to everyone. If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
