Investment Advisory Services in Houston, TX

Independent, Tax-Smart Investment Guidance That Builds Confidence

Growing your wealth shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. Whether you’re running an energy startup near the Galleria, leading a law firm in Downtown Houston, or managing a family business in Sugar Land, your money deserves a clear, strategic plan, not crossed fingers.


At Straight Talk CPAs, we deliver independent investment advisory services that help Houston, TX professionals and entrepreneurs turn scattered savings into a focused, tax-efficient strategy. No sales. No commissions. Just data-driven advice you can actually trust.

Houston isn’t just a city of energy — it’s a city of momentum. We understand its local industries, opportunities, and economic cycles, and we connect that insight with national and global strategies to help your portfolio thrive in any market.


The result?

A portfolio that reflects both where you are and where you’re going.

Houston Perspective, Global Strategy.

We don’t push products — we build purpose. Our investment advisory process helps you:

  • Create a plan aligned with your goals, risk tolerance, and timeline
  • Diversify for growth without unnecessary risk
  • Make tax-conscious decisions at every stage
  • Stay grounded through market volatility with structured reviews



You get clear direction, not noise — and a partner who measures success the same way you do.

Plan With Strategy, Not Sales.

Case Study: From Scattered Savings to a Clear Strategy.

Meet Evan, a Houston-based engineer who always has something going on — work projects, side gigs, ideas half-built in the garage. His finances, though? Not quite as organized. An old 401(k) sat untouched. A few brokerage accounts are scattered across platforms. Nothing really tied together, and no clear plan guided it all.


Here’s how we helped Evan take control:


  • Clarified his goals — targeting early retirement at 58 with a defined income need.
  • Consolidated four accounts into one cohesive, tax-efficient portfolio.
  • Integrated CPA-led tax strategy, saving him $5,600 in the first year.
  • Automated monthly investments aligned with income cycles.
  • Set up a real-time dashboard for tracking growth, performance, and projections.


The outcome:

  • Grew his portfolio by 17% in 12 months
  • Reduced taxable gains through smart timing
  • Now tracks his net worth and goals with confidence



“For the first time, my money has direction — and I actually understand what it’s doing.”
— Evan R., Houston Engineer & Business Owner

FAQs

  • How is your investment advice different from a financial planner or broker?

    We don’t sell products, push funds, or earn commissions—ever. Our advice is independent and fee-only, so you’ll always know our recommendations are about what helps you grow.


  • Do you manage investments directly or just provide guidance?

    Both, actually. Some clients want us to take the wheel and manage everything day to day. Others prefer to stay hands-on while we help shape the strategy. Both ways, we’ll tailor it to what makes you most comfortable.


  • How do taxes fit into my investment plan?

    Taxes are woven into every decision we make. From how and when you take gains to which accounts you contribute to, we structure things to help you keep more of what you earn—not hand it back in April.


  • What’s the minimum investment to work with you?

    Most clients start with around $250,000 in investable assets, but that’s not a hard rule. The main question is whether our approach fits your goals perfectly. If it does, we’ll find a way to make it work.


  • Can you help if I already have an advisor?

    Absolutely. We can take a second look at your existing plan and point out what’s working (and what’s not), and even coordinate with your existing advisor if you’d like.
