Mission Statement
At The Dittmer Scott Group, we advise business owners, families, and non-profit organizations with complex financial guidance —drawing on the same ownership mindset we use in our own family businesses. Clarity. Structure. Confidence.
Welcome

We think like owners. Our clients come to us because they want:

  • A clear plan before decisions become urgent
  • Coordination with their CPA and attorney—not competition
  • An advisor who understands the emotional and financial weight of ownership

    We bring structure to complexity and calm to high stakes decisions.
    If you’re a business owner facing meaningful financial decisions, let’s talk!

About Us
Our Philosophy

Dittmer Scott Group was built on a simple belief: business owners deserve advisors who truly understand ownership. We are a boutique wealth management team serving business owners, families, and endowments with complex financial lives. Our approach is shaped by firsthand experience owning and operating family businesses—experience that informs how we think about risk, opportunity, and long term decision making.

Long Term Perspective
We measure success not by short term performance, but by:

  • Quality of decisions
  • Durability of outcomes
  • Strength of multi generation plans

This is wealth management built for owners, not spectators. You didn't build your business by guessing. Your wealth deserves the same discipline.
