Professional Background

Scott Klein has obtained the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional designation and the Credentialed Holistic Financial Coach from Columbia University. Scott has experience in retirement planning, comprehensive financial planning, and investment management services since 1995. His focus is to help employees of public schools and their families, along with employees & owners of small to medium sized private businesses. His goal is to help these individuals make informed financial decisions regarding retirement planning, life insurance, college savings, investments and long term care planning.

Scott’s educational approach is easy to understand and not filled with confusing financial jargon. He begins by spending time discussing the current situation, then together helping to identify what matters most to the individuals. After identifying the needs and goals, he helps to create a plan that identifies which investments or insurance strategies can best fit the situation. The end result is a personal financial road map designed to guide clients through the various phases of life’s events.

In the five years prior to Scott joining the TPS team, he led a team of top professionals as the Vice President of the Northeast Region of Equitable Advisors. He hired, trained and led financial professionals to better service our existing client base.

In April 2017 Scott was promoted to partner, and subsequently Senior Partner, with TPS Financial. Here he focuses on existing and new clients in creating individualized financial plans.
