The Royal American Story
Dedicated to Smart Financial Decisions from Day One
Humble beginnings and a theory of change
Over 25 years ago, founder Scott Buchanan launched Royal American Financial Services with just a phone book and a mission: to help clients take control of their financial futures. As a single father during the early 2000s financial crisis, Scott understood the weight of financial uncertainty—and the power of sound advice.
Partnership With Purpose. Persistence For Results.
Built on the belief to “make it happen,” Royal American has guided clients through economic shifts with a personal, empowering approach. The result? A trusted, relationship-driven firm with deep experience and a growing, multi-generational client base.
Proudly a fiduciary
Committed to Mentorship and Generational Education
In 2009, Royal American opened a dedicated education space, where Scott has hosted investment classes for over a decade. Today, that same space is home to his flagship coaching program—training the next generation of advisors with a mentorship-first mindset.
Scott’s commitment to lifelong learning extends to the entire Royal American team. Every advisor actively invests in ongoing education and hands-on coaching to deliver forward-thinking financial guidance to our clients
A “Best Kept Secret” in Financial Planning
Since its inception, Royal American has grown from a one-man mission into a thriving family-run business. After six years as a park ranger (and 15 lives saved), Scott’s son, Ryan Buchanan, joined the firm as a financial advisor in his own right—a graduate of the very mentorship Scott Sr. has championed for decades.
Known by referral, not by ads, Royal American has earned our client’s trust and become their go-to source for financial planning and wealth management. Our team serves families and small business owners with personal, long-term guidance that seeks to help them build legacies that last for generations.
