Our Story
Service. Stewardship. Family.
At BEST Simken Financial, we believe financial planning is about far more than numbers. It's about helping individuals and families make informed decisions with confidence so they can build, maintain, grow, and protect what they've worked so hard to achieve.
We educate first, recommend thoughtfully, and build lifelong relationships based on trust, transparency, and integrity.
Why BEST?
People often ask if BEST means we believe we're "the best."
Actually, it's much more personal.
BEST represents the first names of our family:
Brandon • Erin • Scott • Teri
Our daughter, Erin, designed our logo, including the four interconnected circles and the complete BEST Simken Financial identity you see today.
Every recommendation we make carries our family's name. That serves as a daily reminder that our reputation is earned one relationship at a time.
A Lifetime of Service
Service has been the defining theme of Scott's life.
Before entering the financial services profession, Scott proudly served as a United States Navy Corpsman attached to the United States Marine Corps, where he learned that trust is earned through preparation, integrity, and showing up when people need you most.
Today, Scott and his team continue that mission by helping individuals and families make informed financial decisions through education, thoughtful planning, and personalized insurance strategies.
The BEST Standard
Our responsibility isn't to recommend more products.
It's to recommend the right strategy.
Sometimes that means implementing a new solution.
Sometimes it means improving an existing one.
And sometimes it means recommending that no additional product be purchased at all.
We believe trust is earned by placing our clients' objectives above every other consideration.
That is the standard to which we hold ourselves
Our Promise
We educate before recommending.
We listen before advising.
We place your objectives first.
We treat every client like family.
Because we believe:
"An informed client is an empowered client, and an empowered client makes confident financial decisions."
