Investment Advisory Services in Wichita, KS

Advice Without the Agenda. Strategies Built for You.

Wichita has never been afraid to invest—whether it's in aviation, energy, or entrepreneurship. But personal investing? That’s where things get tricky. Cookie-cutter advice, hidden fees, and one-size-fits-all portfolios leave a lot of folks feeling more confused than confident.


Straight Talk CPAs offers investment advisory services built around clarity, control, and real-life goals. Whether you're self-employed, growing a family, or finally ready to put your money to work, we help make sure your investments actually support your bigger financial picture.

We don’t push products. We don’t work on commission. Instead, we ask:

  • What are your priorities—security, growth, retirement, legacy?
  • How do your taxes, income, and goals shape your ideal investment plan?
  • What keeps you from feeling confident about your current approach?

Then we build a smart, tax-conscious strategy that may include:

  • Risk-aligned investment portfolio design
  • Tax-efficient asset placement (Roth vs Traditional, taxable vs deferred)
  • Rebalancing and cash flow management
  • Investment timing aligned with income fluctuations
  • Support for retirement planning, business liquidity, or big life changes

Everything is customized. Everything is explained in plain English.

What You Get With Our Investment Advisory Services

Case Study: Realigned and Recharged in Sedgwick County

Tyler and Amanda, a dual-income couple in west Wichita, were investing through multiple accounts—401(k)s, IRAs, brokerage accounts—but they had no idea how it all fit together. Their financial advisor focused only on returns, while their CPA mentioned taxes once a year.


Here’s what Straight Talk CPAs did:

  • Reviewed all accounts and simplified into a clear, risk-adjusted strategy
  • Moved tax-inefficient investments into retirement accounts
  • Created a 10-year retirement roadmap and set target benchmarks
  • Flagged over-concentration in employer stock and rebalanced
  • Identified better savings vehicles for their daughter’s college fund

Now: They have one integrated plan, coordinated across tax, retirement, and investment goals—with clear milestones and peace of mind.
