There are craftsmen of all kinds who have been handing down their traditions from generation to generation. Their craft becomes a way of life for them, their families, and most of all, their customers and clients. The tradition, value, and quality of service grow stronger.
Moore’s Wealth Management is an independent advisory firmthat helps our clients build retirement plans that fit their lives, and that they can’t outlive. Just like you don’t want to outlive your savings, you don’t want to outlive your financial advisor. We’re proud to have a tradition that we have passed along to generations within our firm through our own financial advisor succession plan so that the families and community we serve can expect seamless service and advice.
In the end, our goal is to address the only truly common bond that connects all of our clients: The opportunity for peace of mind when it comes to their retirement.
It all begins with us knowing what’s truly important to you and your family. One thing we’ve learned over the years is that no two people’s retirement plans look alike.

President / Founder
Senior Financial Officer
For the past 34 years, it has been Scott Moore’s goal, our founder and president, to help pre and post retirees in the Southeast United States properly prepare for and protect their retirement assets.
Before Scott found his passion for helping people protect and preserve their lifetime savings, he began his career as an engineer in the computer industry, utilizing his degree in electronics from Phillips Business College in Mississippi. After 10 years of work in the computer industry, and becoming a Sales Support Vice President, Scott transitioned to the financial industry where he received several top honors in his field including being honored as a distinguished “Advisor of the Year.” The firm and its advisors continue to be recognized for their impact in North Georgia.
Moore’s Wealth Management is a member of the Greater Hall County, Forsyth County, White County, and Athens Area Chambers of Commerce, the Better Business Bureau, and the distinguished National Ethics Association.
Moore’s Wealth Advisory team serves as fiduciaries. As a fiduciary, Scott and his team are held to a much higher professional standard than a typical broker. With 34 years of experience, knowledge, and dedication to serving the financial needs of seniors, Scott, and his team of 4 advisors are skilled financial professionals. They utilize the latest estate planning and investment techniques to design and implement personalized strategies that can help reduce financial risk, lower taxes, avoid probate, and protect assets from nursing home costs.
In addition to these services, Scott, his son Chris, and Mark Peterson provide educational classes at several universities, where they enlighten retirees and near-term retirees on how to develop efficient plans for pre and post-retirement. Through our educational process, we identify all the critical facts necessary to make a sound financial decision, so it is in our client’s best interest, before making that decision. This requires us to identify myths, misconceptions, and missing facts, and put plans in place that strengthen the position of our clients. This is also upholding our fiduciary obligation and why we are so passionate about the educational process.
Scott opened his 1st office in Gainesville 13 years ago. Moore’s Wealth Management has 3 locations to serve North Georgia: Gainesville, Cumming, and Athens, Georgia. The staff consists of 5 Investment Advisors along with a team of 5 staff members.
