About Scott Canady, RICP®
Hi, I'm Scott Canady. I bring a unique and personal perspective to financial advising, shaped by years of experience in finance, education, ministry, and small business ownership. At GBT Wealth Advisors, I help individuals, families, and business owners create financial strategies that reflect their values and support their goals—from building wealth to enjoying retirement with confidence and purpose.I understand firsthand the challenges people face when it comes to making financial decisions. My background in school leadership taught me the importance of clear communication and long-term planning. My time in ministry shaped my belief in the power of trust and relationships. And my experience as a small business owner gave me insight into the risks, rewards, and resilience required to succeed financially.
Clients who work with me appreciate my ability to explain complex topics in a simple, down-to-earth way. I believe every person’s financial journey is different—and I take the time to listen, learn, and design a personalized plan that fits not only your financial picture, but also your lifestyle, values, and future vision.
Whether you’re preparing for retirement, growing your business, managing generational wealth, or simply wanting a clearer path forward, I will walk with you every step of the way. My mission is to help you live with financial peace of mind—rooted in clarity, confidence, and purpose.
I live in North Louisiana with my family and consider it an honor to serve the community I call home. I believe the best financial plans are built on trust, guided by wisdom, and grounded in what matters most.

Financial Services For A Fresh Start
Your retirement is the result of any number of decisions that you make throughout your career. Whether you lived for risk or avoided it at all costs, it’s worth understanding how you ended up where you are now — and what you can do to make the most of your assets as you prepare to hang up your hat at work.
Financial Solutions in Louisiana
It can be easy to assume that you can just read up on the many books, articles, and pamphlets that cover nearly every aspect of retirement. But even with all the retirement advice and planning guides out there, more people than ever before are facing down an uncertain retirement.
If you don’t want to get caught up in a never-ending game of inflation and downturns, the right financial advisor can give you a cushion that keeps you comfortable no matter what the winds of change may bring. From IRAs to annuities to investments to tax management, you can give your financial advisor the weight of the burden so they can start tailoring a bespoke plan that works for you.
At GBT Wealth Advisors, we help the people of North Louisiana boost their portfolios so they can start working out the specifics of both their expenses. Whether you live in Shreveport, Minden, or Ruston, you trust our team to map out a path that you can stick with.
Comfortable retirements start and end with retirement income, a.k.a. new money that comes in every month, so you don’t have to rely on your savings. From Social Security to pensions to part-time jobs, you probably have more options than you think. When you work with a boutique financial firm rather than a conglomerate, you don’t have to worry about your files getting lost in the cracks. You won’t have to worry if you’ll need to start all over again with a new advisor every couple of years.
Get Off To A Fresh Start
Our Financial Experts are here to help you plan your retirement or help you solve financial issues. Please contact us today to get off to a fresh start of financial clarity and a peace of mind in your retirement.

We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.

If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
