About

When First State was founded in 1971, we wanted to create an investment firm focused on quality, trust, integrity, and respect, both in our client relationships and in our investment strategies. We have since built a team of Tulsa’s best financial advisors around these core values to provide families with the personalized, tax efficient, value-oriented approaches to portfolio management that they need to reach their financial goals.

Becoming the best financial advisor for you begins with exploring your unique needs, goals, and circumstances. By discovering who you are and what matters most to you in life, we can help you optimally allocate your financial resources to maximize your fulfillment in life, while also establishing your financial security. Our team is committed to diving deep into the financial planning and discovery process with you to help you plan confidently, sleep soundly, and grow your wealth.

With over 125 years of combined experience, our advisors bring the expertise necessary to answer the questions and find the solutions you need to meet your goals. Whether it be forecasting retirement income and expenses, establishing a trust and estate plan, valuing your business, or managing your investment portfolio, we bring the essential background, tools, and knowledge to lead you to the right destination. And as a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and fee-only financial planner, we operate as a fiduciary so you can be confident that we are always placing your best interests first and providing you sound, independent advice to help you reach your ideal outcome. Whatever your stage of life or financial needs, you can be assured that you will receive the greatest care when you work with our best financial advisors.
