Scott Meyer
Wealth Manager, Branch Manager, Partner
Scott started his financial planning career at Smith Barney, where he worked with individual wealth management, retirement plans and in the fixed income market. After leaving the large institution, he saw the benefit a boutique firm can offer their clients. The supportive environment, along with best in class service is what attracted Scott to Merit Financial Advisors. Raised in Atlanta, Scott holds a Bachelor degree from Valdosta State University, where he received both golf and academic scholarships.
At Merit Financial Advisors, Scott spends his time advising clients towards the pursuit of their financial goals. From early on in his career, Scott has a passion for helping others set and work towards their financial dreams. “I believe the biggest mistake people make for retirement is the failure to plan for it. That is why we, at Merit, like to work with our clients years before they retire. This personalized approach also allows a trusting relationship to naturally form.”
He is an active board member of the Valdosta State Alumni Chapter. In addition to his passion for the financial planning business, Scott enjoys playing golf, running and spending time with his wife Cagney and daughters Austin & Clarke.

I’m a Certified Financial Planner™ professional with a B.S. from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I also hold an MBA from the University of South Carolina-Columbia.
I enjoy working with clients and developing relationships that will help them enjoy the financial success they strive for. It’s rewarding to be able to talk with clients about their life goals, and then analyze their situation, and put a game plan together to help them accomplish those goals.
I live in the Charlotte area with my wife and two children. My outside interests include reading, coaching youth sports, and spending time with my family and friends.
