What is the Power of AND?
Emily Scott started Emily Scott AND to fill the void that she so often observed. No one discusses their money story or equates their emotional reaction to money and spending. She set out to merge the technical side of money with the human side of money, especially during a life transition. The combination of your money story, your principles, AND your passions can be transformational.

Emily guides her clients in building a resilient foundation that includes greater insight into their hearts, expanding clarity and comfort around their legacy plans, financial conversations, spending, and philanthropy.
“I want to thank you once again for guiding me with such insight and clarity. But mostly, I want to thank you for guiding me with such heart. I’m very, very impressed by you and your work.” - H.C. (client)

I am a retired estate planning attorney and recently hired Emily. Although I have the legal and technical knowledge, Emily's personal experience in administering different types of charitable "vehicles" was incredibly helpful. She was a wonderful and supportive sounding board to help me clarify other estate planning issues, including my healthcare directive. I have watched many clients struggle with resolving personal estate planning issues and I wish there had been an "Emily" to whom I could have referred them.
