How do you spend your time when you're not serving clients?
Spending time with family, golfing, racing triathlons and marathons, being active in the outdoors, and serving in the community.
What stands out to you about the Elevant experience?
The Elevant experience brings together the disciplines of wealth management, tax planning & strategy, insurance planning and estate planning strategies allowing our clients to feel confident and steady in life's transitional moments. I love being part of such a specialized and high functioning team that maintains a laser focus on helping our clients define and pursue their own version of Financial Freedom. The BEST part has to be having a front row seat to our clients living out the big life that they dreamed of throughout their working years.
What's one value you try to live by?
Just be kind. The golden rule is still golden.
BIO
Brian Scott is the founder and visionary behind the Elevánt family of companies, including Elevánt Wealth, Elevánt Tax, and Elevant Wealth’s strategic resource Elevánt Law. With an entrepreneurial spirit and a track record of building and successfully exiting multiple business ventures, Brian has created an integrated platform designed to simplify and elevate the financial lives of the clients the Elevant team serves.
Driven by a belief that true financial clarity requires more than siloed advice, Brian has led the development of a collaborative model that brings together wealth management, tax strategy, legal planning and insurance planning under one unified philosophy. His leadership continues to shape Elevánt’s mission: helping clients navigate complexity, make confident decisions, and align their financial lives with what matters most to them.
Brian began his career in financial planning with MassMutual Financial Group in Salt Lake City in 2011 after earning his Bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University. He later joined Waddell & Reed as an independent financial advisor in 2015, where he refined his approach to client-centric planning and team-based service. In 2018, he founded Elevánt Wealth, laying the foundation for what has since grown into a broader, fully integrated advisory ecosystem.
He holds the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®) designation from the College for Financial Planning and remains committed to continual learning and innovation in an ever-evolving financial landscape.
