About Us
Where Financial Vision Meets Lasting Security.
Based in California’s Bay Area and proudly serving clients nationwide, De La Torre Financial Group is a boutique, family-owned fiduciary planning firm committed to building lifelong relationships through trust, care, and clarity.
The legacy behind our name—De La Torre, derived from the Spanish “de la torre,” meaning “of the tower”—reflects our founder, Ryan De La Torre’s heritage and a time-honored tradition of perspective, protection, and watchful guidance. That spirit is deeply woven into everything we do.
At De La Torre Financial Group, we believe financial planning should feel personal, empowering, and even enjoyable. We take the time to understand what truly matters to you, offering a welcoming experience grounded in clear communication, genuine connection, and long-term partnership. We’re here not just to guide your finances, but to help elevate your perspective—so you can rise above complexity, defend against risk, seize opportunities, and make informed decisions in order to feel confident about your future.
Through deep expertise and our personalized Framework Process, we help you define what your financial roadmap means to you, explore income and lifestyle scenarios, and make informed, values-based decisions at every stage of life.
We’re more than advisors—we’re advocates for your future.
Refine Your Strategy With Technical Expertise
As an independent, fiduciary firm, we’re free to design investment strategies that align with your unique goals—not a corporate agenda. With ongoing research, disciplined thinking, and a hands-on approach to portfolio management, we bring a high level of technical depth to every decision.
Our goal is to create portfolios that defend what you’ve built, adapt to a changing landscape, and stay positioned for opportunities—so your investment strategy supports your life, not just the market.
The CFP® Certification: Expertise You Can Trust
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, Ryan De La Torre meets rigorous standards of education, ethics, and client-first planning. This designation isn’t just a credential—it’s a commitment: to provide advice rooted in transparency, diligence, and your best interests.
Ryan also holds a Certification in Long-Term Care (CLTC®), equipping him to guide clients through the complexities of healthcare planning and the realities of longevity. With technical expertise and a personal touch, he helps you plan with clarity—and live with confidence.
Our Foundational Values
Our values shape how we think, how we serve, and how we show up—for each other and for you. They define our culture, guide our decisions, and ensure our work is always rooted in transparency, care, and a client-first mindset.
Disciplined Teamwork
We operate as a unified team—organized, aligned, and fully accountable. Like a well-coordinated unit, each person knows their role and executes it with precision. The result? You feel the confidence of having a team behind you that’s always working in sync and in your best interest.
Genuine Care & Connection
Our work is personal. We build relationships that go beyond the numbers—staying present through life’s changes and milestones. We care deeply about your well-being, your family, and your future—and measure our success by the trust you place in us and the lives we help shape.
Connected and Serving Where It Counts
We believe real impact starts with care—and extends far beyond financial planning. As a family-owned firm, we’re passionate about giving back to the communities and causes that matter most.
Animal welfare and grassroots charities hold a special place in our hearts, and we’re proud to support organizations that make a tangible difference. As our firm grows, so does our commitment to meaningful service—often inspired by the passions of the clients we serve.
We're always looking for new ways to create connection and compassion in the world. If there's a cause close to your heart, we’re listening—and ready to stand beside you in making an impact.
Walk to End Alzheimer’s
After witnessing the impact of Alzheimer’s on so many families—including those close to us—we felt compelled to take action. Our involvement with the Walk to End Alzheimer’s began with donations, but quickly grew into something more personal. We’ve proudly participated in the walk, raised funds to support research and care, and volunteered our time to help bring the event to life.
Alicia has contributed behind the scenes by assisting with event setup, helping support the growth of the walk in recent years. As our commitment deepens, we look forward to continuing our support in even more meaningful ways.
Valley Humane Society
Animals bring unconditional love into our lives, and the Valley Humane Society ensures they receive the care and compassion they deserve. This local organization is especially meaningful to us. We donate regularly and actively participate in fundraising events—including Tails at Twilight, their annual gala. In its most recent year, the event raised over $310,000 to support lifesaving and life-enriching programs for animals in our community.
CASA of Alameda County
We are honored to support Friends of CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Alameda, an organization that empowers community volunteers to advocate for the needs of foster youth. Ryan has proudly served on CASA's board for the past four years and formerly served as treasurer, helping guide the program’s growth and development. His role offers a unique perspective into the challenges these children face and a hands-on opportunity to help shape a brighter future for them.
Music for Life Foundation
Maui has long held a special place in our hearts. After the devastating wildfires, we sought meaningful ways to give back to the community that has embraced us over the years. That search led us to the Music for Life Foundation, an organization that provides musical instruments and lessons to connect and uplift communities through the power of music. In 2018, we personally donated and also nominated the foundation for an Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) grant, which resulted in a $3,000 award—funding 300 ukuleles to help bring healing and unity to those affected by the disaster.
