Scott Prechtel

Resourceful, Resilient, Responsive

My name is Scott Prechtel, welcome to my web site. It is important to understand your financial options based on your personal needs. As a financial professional with AXA Advisors and a partner of Cornerstone Group I am dedicated to helping individuals and businesses build their financial futures. In order to stay on top of my field and develop my professional skills over my twenty one year career, I have regularly attended industry training and certification programs. I have completed the curriculum and passed the exams for the following:

  • Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) professional designation of the American College
  • Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) professional designation of the American College
  • FINRA securities registration: Series 7,24,26,63 and 65
  • State Insurance Licenses

My training, experience and professional affiliations have fostered my practical approach to offering financial advice and planning services to my clients. Rather than just recommending unrelated products, I will first look at your specific financial goals and investment objectives. Working together, we can formulate a strategy to help you work toward your goals. Then, if it is suitable, as a Registered Representative of AXA Advisors, LLC, a securities brokerage and agent of AXA Network, LLC, an affiliated insurance brokerage, I can recommend the appropriate products and services to help you execute your strategy.  This approach has lead to my induction into AXA Advisors prestigious Hall of Fame and membership in the Sterling Group, a division of AXA Advisors, LLC, a select group of financial professionals who are distinguished for achieving a high standard of experience and service.

My wife Amy and I live in Oakland, Michigan with our three children. We are both graduates of Michigan State University.
