✅ When can I retire?

Scott's Story:

After spending nearly a decade as a financial advisor with large investment and banking institutions creating financial plans and advising on retirement income strategies, Scott took the leap to start his own independent financial planning firm in 2016. For 4 years, he grew a successful advisory firm, then in 2020 Scott and his business partner merged with PARAGON. As an entrepreneur with bigger goals in mind, Scott seized the opportunity to partner with a firm whose mission is to be an industry leader in the retirement planning profession.

Mr. Snider is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and spent 5 years serving as a board member and was the former president (2021) of the Financial Planning Association of Northeast Florida. Scott also holds the following designations and certifications:

- RICP™: Retirement Income Certified Professional designation
- CRPC®: Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor

He received his bachelor’s in finance from Miami University (OH), where he also minored in economics. Additionally, Scott has been a featured expert in such publications as Market Watch, Investment News, Money Magazine, and The Washington Post.
