Financial Guidance Built on Trust

At WayOaks Advisors, we believe strong financial relationships begin with trust. Drawing on 40 years of experience building long-term client relationships, we help you navigate life’s financial decisions with confidence, clarity, and a commitment to your goals.

A bridge is more than a structure of steel and concrete; it is a promise.

Every time we cross a bridge, we do so with an unspoken confidence that it will carry us safely from where we are to where we want to be. We rarely stop to question its strength or stability because trust has been built into its design, tested through time, and proven through experience. A reliable bridge creates connection, overcomes obstacles, and makes the journey possible.

The relationship between you and your Financial Advisor is much the same.

Financial goals often lie on the other side of obstacles and uncertainty— economic, both global and personal, life transitions and unforeseen challenges.

A trusted advisor serves as the bridge that helps clients navigate those complexities with confidence.

Like a well-engineered bridge, the advisor provides guidance through experience and wisdom, when the path ahead is unclear.

Trust is not granted automatically; it is earned through consistency, integrity, expertise, and a commitment to putting the client’s interests first.

Over time, each conversation, recommendation, and shared decision strengthens that foundation.

When trust is firmly established, you can focus less on the obstacles beneath them and more on the destination ahead, knowing you have a reliable partner to get you to where you need to go.

At WayOaks Advisors, Trust was put in our name because ultimately, Trust is what strong, successful, long-term relationships are built on.

We invite you to see if we can establish and build on that Trust together. We are confident, based on our long history of long-term client relationships going back 40 years, that you’ll be pleased that we have come together.

WayOaks is a slightly modified word for “Trust” in the Tsimshian language which is spoken in Northwestern Coastal BC.

Tyler Van Vliet, Langley BC (client since 2007)

Carey is an effective financial planner who manages his clients’ investments as if they were his own. He has mapped out my financial future and provided me with the financial security I am looking for. He treats everyone with kindness and respect, regardless of how much or how little you have to invest. I would highly recommend Carey Vandenberg for anyone looking for a financial planner. His office manager, Cheryl, is thorough and thoughtful, making for a fantastic financial planning team. I would highly recommend Carey Vandenberg for

Carrie Stefanson, Port Moody (client since 2002)

We have been using Carey as our financial planner almost 30 years and we have our complete trust in him. We have recommended many family and friends to use him as well. Carey is very honest and extremely easy to talk to and he is able to explain things to you in a straightforward way so you can make educated decisions. Carey looks after our investments, RRSP’s, TFSA’s, life insurance and he gives us a lot of guidance with our tax returns and planning for our future. I highly recommend Carey Vandenberg and his team to anyone.

Ken & Sandy Yun, Richmond BC (clients since 1992)

Ready to take your finances to the next level?

I have personally worked with some of the same clients for over 30 years.  Those relationships have developed into friendships.  With that has come a deep commitment to make sure I’m there, completely.  I invite you to reach out and set up a meeting (our office, your home, your office or virtual) to see how we can work together to make sure your financial planning and investment decisions now and well into the future, are sound and comfortable for you.
