President
Amiot Financial Group
Scott Syde's first job right out of high school was at a local bank. He left 10 years later as vice president. Combining a keen interest in and an above normal aptitude for financial services, Scott has built a rewarding career since tackling the entry-level job in 1980. Today, as president of Amiot Financial Group, he's helping a wide range of clients plan for a brighter future.
Scott believes that the secret to his and his clients' success is developing and maintaining strong, long-term relationships. "The trust factor is paramount," he says. "When you are helping someone put together a financial plan, you are building a relationship around important and private issues like salaries, expenses, and lifelong dreams. My clients trust that I'm professional, sincere, and working in their best interest."
By partnering with Amiot Financial Group, Scott notes that individuals and families obtain service advantage flexibility. "Because Amiot Financial Group is an independent firm, we are not chained to specific products. We can pick and choose from the best the market has to offer, depending on the client's goals. That's a major benefit, and I know my clients appreciate the options available to them."
Scott offers investment products to clients as a registered representative of QA3 Financial Corp., Member FINRA/SIPC, an independent broker dealer. In addition, Scott is an investment advisor representative with QA3 Financial, LLC, a SEC Registered Investment Advisory Firm.
Scott also enjoys an active role in the community. He volunteers his time to various youth organizations and his church, and frequently teaches courses on finance for a variety of organizations.
Scott lives in Bloomington, Minnesota, with his wife, Mary Lou, and their son, Dan.
