Scott Shea Profile Photo

M&A Advisor

Scott has entrepreneurial grit running through his DNA. After graduating in business from Texas Christian University in 2005, he joined his family’s four-generation company. Scott’s exceptional leadership skills and operational mindset were instrumental in driving his family’s legacy business to unprecedented performance, eventually leading to a 9-figure exit. Scott experienced firsthand the day-to-day grind and mixed emotions a family and enterprise go through during an acquisition.

In 2011, Scott’s love of numbers, relationships, and entrepreneurship organically led him to start his own private wealth practice, focusing on advising and consulting business owners. His entrepreneurial background and reputation as a champion advisor to his business owner clients created a perfect fit when he joined Final Ascent's deal team in 2022.

After accumulating his own dealmaking experience, Scott eventually acquired a welding company that was once part of his family’s legacy business.

Scott and his wife, Amanda, reside in South Louisiana with their three sons. Scott is also our firm’s scratch golfer. When he needs to quiet his mind, he finds solace on the fairway.
