Most financial plans are built around money.

We build yours around your life.

Financial Planning

Build a comprehensive plan around your goals, timeline, and the life you're working toward — not just your account balances.

Cash Flow & Budgeting

Get clarity on where your money is going and make sure your spending, saving, and giving are in line with your values.

Insurance & Risk Review

Identify coverage gaps across life, disability, and liability so one unexpected event doesn't derail everything you've built.

Tax Coordination

Work alongside your CPA to reduce your tax burden through proactive planning, not just annual preparation.

Big moments reshape everything.

We help you plan through them.

Family Protection Planning

Make sure the right structures are in place so your family is protected if something unexpected happens.

Education Planning

Build a strategy for funding education that accounts for timelines, tax efficiency, and your broader financial picture.

Divorce Financial Planning

Navigate the financial complexity of separation with clarity on assets, income, and what a fair outcome actually looks like.

Life Event Planning

Whether it's a marriage, a new child, an inheritance, or a career change — we help you plan through the moments that change everything.

Plan for retirement now.

Have fun along the way.

Retirement Income Planning

Design a sustainable withdrawal strategy that supports your lifestyle and adapts to markets and taxes.

Portfolio Management

Manage a diversified portfolio with ongoing rebalancing, monitoring, and risk controls.

Charitable Giving & Gifting Strategy

Build a giving plan that aligns with your values, reduces your taxable estate, and makes an impact on your terms.

Legacy Planning

Coordinate beneficiaries, trusts, and gifting so your wealth supports family goals across generations.

Life Strategyfor more than wealth

Life Strategy™ is our proprietary framework for cultivating a more intentional life. It incorporates five key dimensions — Money, Career, Health, Relationships, and Fun. These are your personal five oceans.

Working with Five Oceans Advisors has been game changing for my family and me. As an entrepreneur & founder, I rely on coaches and mentors to guide me. Working with Chris and his team, I’ve received incredible guidance on investment strategy, spending buckets, legacy planning, and so much more. It’s been almost 10 years since we started working together and I’m excited for the next decades continuing the journey. My family and I are leagues ahead of when we started financially and are gearing toward financial freedom. Thank you Five Oceans for all that you do.”

Meet Philip

I’m a native Texan, but I’ve fallen in love with my adopted hometown of Memphis, TN where I’ve lived for over 15 years now with my wife, Courtney, and our four boys.

In joining Five Oceans Advisors, I have the incredible opportunity to work with a team of like-minded professionals who are passionate about helping people live deeper, more meaningful lives.

In fact, the inspiration for living and helping my clients live “The Deep Life” comes from bestselling author/entrepreneur, Cal Newport and his life-changing book, Deep Work. So the fit with Five Oceans Advisors is perfect for me in my quest to go deeper in my own life and help my clients do the same!

The thing I love most about Five Oceans is the incredible team and culture that the founders have built. They empower the team to be well rounded in each of our own five oceans (money, career, health, relationships & fun) so that in turn, we can do the same for our clients!

Along with my sons, I support raising the literacy level for young people in the Memphis area through an organization called Champions for Literacy.

Outside of work, I love coaching youth sports, cycling, and cheering on my hometown Memphis Grizzlies!
