You don't have to navigate finances on your own! Partner with Laura Bereiter, CPA, PFS™, CFP® and the rest of the White Oaks team to work through life's wide array of puzzles. #whiteoakswealthadvisors #financialplan
Director of Tax and Financial Planning | Wealth Management | Equity Compensation Advice | Fee-Only | Investment Strategy
I have a confession: I’m addicted to The New York Times puzzles. I love Tiles, Connections and The Daily Crossword, but my favorite is, without question, The Daily Mini. Every day, Dan Bereiter, Parker Nickolay and I compete to see who can finish it the fastest. It’s fun, it’s frustrating, and it’s family-bonding – who doesn’t love that?! Financial plans are essentially puzzles, and I think that’s why I enjoy my job as much as I do. Every financial plan is a new puzzle for me, whether it’s a plan being started from scratch or a decades-old plan that needs a few updates. The best part is that I don’t work on these puzzles by myself. I collaborate with my clients and their other trusted advisors to solve puzzles that evolve as we work on them and ones that have many possible solutions. It can be a challenge, but the most rewarding one. The next time you’re stuck on your favorite puzzle or feeling overwhelmed by a big financial decision, remember this: puzzles aren’t meant to be done alone, and neither are financial plans. #neverpuzzlealone #financialplan #whiteoakswealthadvisors

I grew up in a town with a population of 317. Access to the arts was nearly nonexistent. It wasn’t until my early 20s that I discovered the art of movement and sound together. Once it’s in you, it doesn’t leave you. When I moved to Sarasota 5 years ago, I began attending The Sarasota Ballet performances. In 2022 joined the Relevé Society, a network of ballet enthusiasts who advocate for performing arts. Last week I shared the impact that ballet has made in my life at the Elevate Rooftop event to kickoff the 2023-2024 season. Cultivating passions not only enriches our lives but can also open doors to new cities, help us forge meaningful friendships, and foster connections that transcend boundaries. Thank you to the Sarasota Ballet staff Rachael Fisk, Lauren Stroman, MS, CFRE, Amy Wensley, Melissa McCoy, CFRE, CFRM

We had the pleasure of Peter Sorensen joining us for that past 11 weeks as our summer intern. In honor of his last day this week, we asked him a few questions that had nothing to do with spreadsheets, investments or trading. - What is the best holiday in your opinion? Thanksgiving - Share a cheesy joke: Why did the obtuse angle go to the beach? Because it was over 90 degrees. - What is one color you'd dress in for the rest of your life? Navy blue As he goes back to college and continues to explore career options, what advice do you have to share with Peter? Extra shout-out to Alex Duty, CFA, CIPM for his mentorship during Peter’s time with us!! #intern #whiteoakswealthadvisors #careeradvice
