About Sterling Wealth Management

Helping You Achieve Your Financial Goals

A Boutique Fiduciary Firm Focused on Simplicity, Clarity, and Personal Connection

Sterling Wealth Management was created with a simple belief: managing your wealth should feel clear, calm, and purposeful. Founded by fiduciary advisor Scott Gardner, the firm offers a boutique, high-touch experience designed for individuals and families who want guidance they can trust and a relationship built on transparency and understanding.

Scott began his investing journey in 2005 and founded Sterling Wealth Management in 2018 to bring a more thoughtful, education-focused approach to wealth guidance. With experience in investing, taxation, and financial planning, Scott believes that every client deserves to understand their decisions—not just follow them. His mission is to simplify the complex, listen carefully, and provide clarity so clients can move forward with confidence.

While Sterling Wealth Management is a boutique firm, Scott is supported by specialized assistants who help manage administrative, operational, and research tasks—ensuring that your experience is efficient, responsive, and fully supported. This structure allows Scott to stay focused on what matters most: you, your goals, and your long-term financial well-being.

Financial decisions can be emotional and overwhelming, but they don’t have to be. Whether you’re building wealth, preparing for retirement, or planning for the future of your family, Sterling Wealth Management is here to provide steady guidance, practical insight, and a clear path forward.

Your wealth. Simplified.
