In the course of my work, I feel like I've met at least 163 financial advisors. I chose to invest my own retirement funds with Scott Stanley at Pharos for several reasons. First and foremost, his returns on the investments he manages for me are outstanding. In the last 6 months, I've earned significantly more than I earned all last year and I'm amazed at my increases! Second, his customer service is perfection. He responds immediately to any call or email I make. No matter how I mangle my tax situation, he helps right my wrongs with complete graciousness and patience. Scott has already had me in for 2 account reviews, so I know he's monitoring my accounts closely. And he shows me in person what is going on with my investments directly and in a timely manner. Yayaaayyyy. Third, what I greatly appreciate about Scott is that he is approachable. I don't have millions to invest, or even hundreds of thousands, and I find those expensive-suit-and-tie-with-an-expensive-top-floor-office guys intimidating to the extreme. Scott is down to earth and easy to talk to, and I'm not scared to call him when I have something to discuss. I'm relieved and delighted to have such a diligent advisor working on my behalf! read more

The most important element for me in a financial adviser is trust. I don't have time to be second guessing someone or checking their work. Scott is smart and knows his business. I trust him 100% with my life savings and know he will be looking out for me and my family and no one else. He is always willing to sit down, review my family's long term financial plan, and make changes without any hint that I am wasting his time. He is the best! read more

Pharos Management has made an incredible impact on my life and finances. I am still quite young and as a newcomer to the financial planning scene, I needed someone I could trust and who could help simplify the complex world of finances. Scott Stanley has been and remains this person for me. He is responsive to my endless questions and I really trust his judgement and advice. He also makes financial planning less scary, which I appreciate in this industry. Before talking with Scott, even the word "finance" made me cringe but he's helped develop my confidence when discussing money and ultimately he has helped me tremendously in planning for a house and retirement. It doesn't get better than Pharos. read more

I can't say enough good things about Pharos Wealth Management. Scott Stanley is a super sharp guy with a clear commitment to bringing in the highest returns on his clients' investments. He's also friendly, accessable, and very responsive to any questions I have, or actions I need him to take....I sometimes wonder if he does anything else besides work, as he is quick to respond to my queries, whether it's a 6:00 am or 8:00 pm at night....not complaining....just saying. :-D I feel grateful to have found them, and I sleep well at night knowing that my future financial health rests in their hands. read more

I moved my retirement investments to Pharos Wealth Management several years ago from a large, well known firm I worked with for over ten years. I am extremely pleased with my decision. My primary contact Scott Stanley is very knowledgeable, responsive and actually cares about making my investments perform. He also worked with me to develop detailed retirement plan that we will now adjust over time. The service from Pharos Wealth Management is very personalized as compared to larger firms. They know exactly who you are when you contact them. No quickly pulling up your account online while making small talk to remind themselves like my former investment firm! read more

We've had money managed by Merrill Lynch, Ameriprise, and Vanguard. Vanguard consistently outperformed the big-house folks, both the self-managed and managed accounts. Tired of disappointing returns and mechanized bureaucracy and minimal tailoring at the big folks, we decided to entrust Scott with our money last year. Prior to doing so, Scott did for us a detailed review of our investments, deep-dived into our goals, and he pitched a plan as well as finally gave us an answers the other advisors never did: "what is enough?" and "can we make it?" What a difference a hands-on boutique makes. Scott researches, stays informed, communicates, responds to questions and and keeps us up-to-date proactively on market news. We look forward to growing with Scott! read more
