Our Mission
We provide high quality financial education to help students understand their finances, and make better financial decisions for their retirement.
The Dodd-Frank act, which fundamentally changed Wall Street, formed a commission to better understand the level of financial literacy among American Consumers. The commission’s findings showed a startling lack of understanding of financial concepts, and strongly suggested financial literacy education for adults.
The Educational Courses we offer were developed specifically to educate students about financial terms, concepts, and strategies in a classroom setting giving them tools they need to make smart decisions about their financial future. Each of the courses are presented in an easy-to-understand format and cover all the bases to help you plan for your retirement. We teach courses all through the year, so be sure to check the Upcoming Events page often for our current schedule.

Adrian Scott
I was born and spent the first thirty years of my life in the beautiful state of Ohio. The privilege was mine to be born to two great parents. I am the middle child of a total of (8) kids, the son of a Pastor who taught me such things as love for God, love for people, and service to others. To put it briefly, I wouldn’t trade my upbringing with anyone.
In 1985 I met the love of my life, Cynthia. To my tremendous loss, Cynthia passed away in March 2023 and she changed my life in many beautiful ways. We were married for thirty-eight years, two months, and one day, and I can honestly say she set the standard for being a loving and supportive spouse, mother, and grandmother. I have one adult daughter and son who have given me a total of six grandchildren.
Cynthia and I began being International Foster Parents ten years ago, and I continue to this day with two great teenagers who are a wonderful part of the household.
As for my professional career, I began as a company sales agent in the life insurance industry many years ago. Since then, I have served as a multi-state sales manager for an international financial services organization, and as owner of a property and casualty insurance agency. In recent years I have expanded as an independent agent/broker, licensed in 45 states, and I specialize in Retirement Annuities and Life Insurance specialists.
What I am proud of most is the integrity, care, and diligence I take in helping those who desire my services. My clients and their financial well-being always come first.
Honesty and integrity are the hallmarks of Financial Integrity Services, and I look forward to the honor of being of service to you and your family and friends!
