Scott Hardy is a Senior Financial Advisor at Summit Wealth Group, helping clients plan for retirement, children’s education, and a legacy for their heirs. Scott joined the team in 2026, coming from Commonwealth and, before that, UBS.
In his role, Scott works with clients and focuses on financial planning for individuals, families, and businesses. Scott graduated from Clemson University with a degree in political science.
After earning his degree from Clemson, Scott spent several years consulting with political campaigns, helping them organize data, maintain voter lists, and raise money. Many winning campaigns asked what they should do with campaign funds until the next election cycle. Through this experience, Scott realized his calling was to help individuals achieve their financial goals.
In 2003, he worked to gain his licensing and registrations for investments and insurance and began helping families plan for retirement, children’s education, and estate concerns. Scott has also achieved the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification. Scott believes in using efficient, effective, long-term solutions to help clients achieve financial security.
“I am driven by the opportunity to celebrate with clients as they reach each of their financial goals. That moment when a client realizes they have paid for college or structured their estate efficiently is the reason I love my job.”
In his spare time, Scott attends Way Church Nashville, serves on the board of WayGo Youth Ministries, is a member of several community organizations, and is involved with the Nashville Zoo at Grasmere. Scott lives in Nashville with his wife, Andrea, and their daughter, Caroline. Scott enjoys fly fishing and is an avid fan of the Clemson Tigers and Nashville Soccer Club (NSC). He volunteers with his church and previously served 6 years on the Board of Directors at Monroe Harding, Inc.
