Silver Oak Securities, Inc. Announces Selection of Orion Advisor Services, LLC as Primary Reporting and Client Relationship Platform

"We chose Orion because of all the technology it offers. We provide an open architecture for our advisors, so we have Schwab, TD Ameritrade, and Fidelity as available custodians, and Orion interfaces with each one of them," said Billy Hopkins, President of Silver Oak.

"In addition to portfolio management, Orion also provides our advisors the ability to create a truly integrated and unique client experience." In addition to Orion's integrated, multi-custodial approach to portfolio accounting, Silver Oak was also impressed by the level of customization the technology offers for each of its representatives.

Each rep can brand their own client portal, reporting statements, and also choose the integrations that suit them best. "Each rep has certain tools they like, like one CRM to another, but Orion has so many integration partners that we don't have to limit rep choice," said Hopkins. "Whether a rep wants to work with Salesforce, Junxure, or Redtail as their CRM, Orion makes it easy by integrating with all of them. The technology choices we can offer our reps sets us apart from being a simple brokerage platform."

"Silver Oak and Orion are a natural fit because our firms' philosophies are a part of the same fabric. We both believe in customization and choice, and offering an open architecture environment that breeds flexibility instead of inclusivity," said Eric Clarke, CEO of Orion.
