Our Roots

Our history began over 40 years ago when Clark Pederson began his career as a financial advisor at Elliot-Ledgerwood & Co. By 2016, Clark's business had grown, and he identified the need to add an advisor to his team to maintain a high level of service. He and Jennifer Scanlan had worked on The Sky Lakes Medical Center Foundation Board and Rotary together and had similar views on providing excellent care to their clients, so it was a natural fit when Jennifer joined his practice in 2016, and they became the Pederson-Scanlan Financial Group. Jennifer helped to expand the services offered by our team to include comprehensive financial planning, tax, and estate planning in addition to investment advice and access to professional portfolio management. We take pride in providing full-service, holistic financial advice to clients.

In 2019 Clark retired from his many years of service as a financial advisor and is now a client of the Scanlan Financial Group. He and his wife Rita trust Jennifer to guide their financial journey through retirement.
