About Scott C. Little, BFA™, CEPS®
Scott Little is dedicated to helping people avoid the pitfalls of emotional decision making as they experience major life transitions – such as a long-awaited retirement, a career change, divorce, or the loss of a loved one. He partners with clients to help them achieve ambitious goals and serves as a voice of calm and reason during times of anxiety and uncertainty.Many years ago, an insurance agent sold Scott’s parents an unsuitable product. As they worked and saved, they trusted that their investment would one day help to fund their retirement, but instead, ended up in a precarious financial situation.
Seeing what his parents went through always stuck with Scott. When he later became a financial advisor, Scott made a promise to himself to treat each client with the same level of care and concern he would his own parents. He dedicates himself each day to making sure his clients receive advice they can trust.
Scott lives in Adams with his wife, Julie, and their daughter, Abbey. His Catholic faith is the cornerstone of his life, and he enjoys being active in his church. Scott is also a dedicated supporter of St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

Scott was so patient when dealing with my elderly father especially when he had developed dementia. He has done a great job managing my portfolio so that I can be a kid again and play all day with no worries.
Berkshire is my investment company
I was introduced to this company through my dad. My dad a retired New York City Sanitation 30 years ago He moved his money into Berkshire since it started, 30 years ago and has never looked back Just recently i retired from the New York City Police Department and asked my dad for advice He immediately said Call SCOTT !! Which of course i did And let me tell you When it comes to making money and great advice The best move made !! Scott is the ultimate pro When i call he answers When my friends ask And some day my kids They will be getting the same recommendations
Professional, friendly and knowledgeable financial guidance tailored to the individual’s needs
As a single woman entering into retirement I realized that I needed the guidance of trusted professionals but was unsure of who to trust. I sought the advice of friends and contacted BMM. I was really nervous taking this first step but quickly realized I was in good hands. Scott and Lauren were stellar! I now have a solid financial plan in place and trusted advisors who will guide me through the years. I can’t be happier with the attention, patience and guidance I’ve received from Scott and his team. Go ahead, take that first step and contact Scott, you’ll be happy that you did!

I have been a customer for 8 months but I wish it were for 8 years. Berkshire takes a very pragmatic and understandable approach to the total customer picture. From financial to medical to trust and tax implications as well as many others. Honestly I am at a much better piece of mind in these short 8 months . I had interviewed 3 planners but clearly Berkshire stood above the others. If you are looking for the entire customer experience, no one is better .
Berkshire Review - Retirement Planning
My family has worked with BMM successfully for 20 years. More recently Scott guided me through Medicare and Social Security planning. When it came time to retire 2 years ago, we had extensive conversations how the pieces of the puzzle would best set me up in years to follow. I don’t hesitate to recommend BMM for financial planning and investment needs!

We were introduced to this group by a good family friend and it has been nothing but great. Scott and Nate are experts and have guided us every step of the way. They are responsive and extremely helpful to alleviate stress. All the ladies have also been friendly and supportive especially Tammy. We are grateful (Charles and Martha)

Birkshire Money Management has been handling my investments for the past 10 years. Scott Little, as well as everyone on the BMM team, has provided me with excellent advice, education and services. I feel very comfortable in retirement that our best interest is being accounted for and we will fully be able to enjoy those things we love to do. Thanks BMM for creating an environment and financial service that leaves me knowing we are in the hands possible.

I am pretty hopeless with financial matters. I tend to buy high and sell low. I am so thankful that I hooked up with BMM when I did, in 2008. Through recession and good times they have been fabulous. Both Allen Harris and Scott Little. I mainly see Scott these days. He is a pleasure to talk to. We can talk about financial issues, family issues, you name it. He is always sympathetic to where I am, and what my comfort level is regarding risk etc. I can't recommend them too highly!

My husband, Jim, in his job as the director of a park district for many years, was researching a retirement plan for park employees and came across Berkshire Money Management. Jim saw that it was showing excellent gains and started contributing to that retirement account on a regular basis. The family has worked with Scott Little at BMM for many years with the personal touch of frequent telephone calls. Scott was there and is always there with helpful suggestions and advice. We would encourage anyone looking for financial investment to contact Scott at BMM.
5 Stars
BMM has been in our family since the early days, when they were operating out of a storefront in a strip mall. Since then I have been through a divorce, the 2008 meltdown, and my father passing. And through it all, Scott Little has been my rock. He has such a calm demeanor and really understands the emotional component of investing. Besides that, the paltry sum I invested post-divorce has tripled in value. Even though I have been taking monthly withdrawals for years, my portfolio keeps increasing. Because of BMM, and especially Scott Little, I never worry about my investments.
5 Stars
Scott has been wonderful to work with. He is very responsive and consistently value-add. Looking forward to working with Scott and the team many more years

I have been a client of Berkshire Money Management for many years. I started with a small investment. Over the years it has grown substantially due to personal phone calls (no computer chatting) with Mr. Scott Little. He has always been honest, transparent and willingly addressed my questions and explained my options. I am grateful for the direction Scott Little has taken my investments. I am very thankful for his stewardship of my assets and I highly recommend you consider this company for your peace of mind.
5 Stars
BMM has been managing my portfolio for 15+ years. Scott Little and Alan Harris have did a great job keeping me out of trouble during the 2008-08 great financial crisis and other major market corrections along the way. I think the best compliment is they've maximized returns during bull markets and minimized losses during bear markets or severe corrections like '07-'08. Another unappreciated service is just being a sounding board for investment ideas and counseling me to take the longer term view of wealth building. Scott and team also offer a comprehensive wealth/retirement planning service that helps guide clients as they build for a sound financial future. I have benefitted greatly from this service and knowledge (which is provided to clients free of charge).

So many great things to say about Berkshire Money Management and Scott Little and the team at Berkshire. We have used Berkshire for many years and cannot express to you how grateful we are. Scott is on top of what is happening and therefore is constantly watching the financial happenings and what is happening in the world and is absolutely on top of any changes needed. Scott keeps in touch and we know if we need anything that we only have to call and we will either be connected immediately OR receive a call back in a matter of minutes. We cannot express strongly enough to you that we so highly recommend Berkshire Money Management.

So glad we took Scott and his team up on the opportunity to meet and discuss our current and future financial situation and goals at the recommendation of a colleague a few years ago. Since our initial meeting, we have utilized many of the services offered by BMM with great satisfaction and success. Investment management is ongoing, a Finacial plan that we review on a routine basis, assistance with retirement, Social Security and our Estate Planning. We meet on a regular basis (can be in person or via Zoom). Any correspondence receives a prompt response. Scott and his amazing team at BMM have earned out trust that they have our best interests in mind!

Everyone at Berkshire is kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable and takes time to care for each client. We cannot recommend this firm highly enough !

BMM and in particular Scott Little have been the best we could have imagined for the security of our portfolio. Being with Scott for at least 20 years has carried us through many ups and downs in the market and also having reached that point when we are forced to start taking drawdowns, yet we have continued to grow overall. The quarterly updates explaining their outlook on the markets and other geopolitical issues makes you feel they really do their homework. Would recommend them to anyone.
5 Stars
I highly recommend BMM for anyone who is seeking a group of individuals with an impressive depth of expertise and balanced perspective in managing financial wealth. My husband and I have been working with Scott Little for almost a decade, and prior to that he managed my parents' portfolio, which is a testament to how pleased we have been with him as our money manager. BMM is a truly family-oriented business. They care about their clients as people first, and take the time to get to know you on a personal level in order to understand how best to manage investment of your hard-earned dollars.

We subscribed to Allen Harris' Navigator Newsletter in the late 90's and were immediately impressed with both his insight and results. Allen is good. When Allen launched Berkshire Money Management moving assets to BMM was a no brainer even though we live 900 miles away in SC. We have entrusted more and more of our family's assets to BMM. Allen, Scott Little and the entire BMM team manage our accounts as if they were their own, providing exceptional service and communication every step of the way.

I've been engaged with Berkshire Money Management for over four years and I have been completely satisfied with their handling of my retirement investments and concerns.

I would highly recommend BMM to anyone who wants or needs an enterprise that has your best interests in mind.

My stepfather introduced me to BMM back in 2005 and told me I would always be in good hands with them. He was 100% correct! They have been amazing, especially Scott Little. Scott goes above and beyond for me! Now my whole family is with BMM and we are all super pleased with them. A few years back, they worked with me on my retirement plan. After extensive time, effort and research, they presented me with a perfect plan that I would have never come up with on my own! I feel like I'm in great hands with BMM -- my stepfather was right! I highly recommend BMM as they are not only great money managers, they keep you informed, they are professional AND they are super nice! I'm a lifer with BMM!

Scott Little and the team at Berkshire Money Management have been exceptional in their managing of our investments. Not only do they tailor our investments to meet our needs, but they help us to determine our future needs. This has been extremely helpful as my husband an I navigate the right balance. Retiring can be daunting when considering all the variables, medicare premiums, when is the best time to take social security, and Roth IRA conversions etc etc. The team at Berkshire will help find options and then you can make informed decisions They provide invaluable services such as budgeting and estate planning. We have been so grateful for there help over the decades. Thanks!

I have been invested with BMM since inception many years ago. I have always felt that Scott and Alan have my best interests in mind. From investing, to financial planning, to retirement planning they represent the full package. Their organization has grown significantly over the years from an investment business to a full scale money management service. One can rest comfortably knowing they are carefully monitoring the markets. That’s why I have been with them so long. I appreciate their service. As my needs change over the years they are people I can rely on.

Berkshire Money Management is awesome! They have helped us for more than 20 years with clear financial management and advise. When we were looking for someone to manage our retirement funds, we decided to go with BMM because of Allen Harris's insightful newsletters which I had been reading for years. I had been so impressed with Allen's market savvy, as well as our conversations with Scott Little, it was an easy decision. In addition to providing great returns for our retirement accounts, they have provided us a Personal Financial Plan and and even an updated Living Trust for no added fees! We can't say enough good things about Berkshire Money Mangement

This is a superb financial advisory firm. I have been with them through the financial crisis and recessions. They were early providers of fee based services and efficient ETF investing through a transparent Schwab platform. Quarterly and as needed one on one conversations are the rule. Their research is top notch and over these years have resulted in solid performance, in part by muting downturns and staying invested in the best performing sectors. They also provide or contract financial services such as financial and Medicare planning. I sleep well at night and am not compelled to check my portfolio very often.

Our financial advisor at Berkshire Money management is Vice President Scott Little. He was referred to me and my wife by a family member who highly recommended Scott. Scott has taken the time to not only get to understand our financial goals, but also to get know us personally. He is extremely accessible and responsive . He has exceeded our expectations with financial planning that is thoroughly explained, and really works. We highly recommend Scott and the team at Berkshire Money Management.
5 Stars
I have been associated with Berkshire Money Management for over 20 years and could not have been more satisfied with this relationship. They have guided my investments to achieve outstanding results. Their philosophy is to shape each investor's portfolio to their specific investment objectives. And most importantly, a major objective is to protect your investments from major downturns by always keeping an eye on the direction of the economy and market and making marketing decisions in anticipation of the market's future course. Another reason why Berkshire Money Management is the best is that each investor is assigned to an investment advisor who is always available for immediate assistance as needed plus each quarter the advisor will contact the investor and discuss the market and the investment decisions they will make going forward. I personally have an advisor who is absolutely brilliant and I have been fortunate to have been associated with him for most of my 20 years with the firm. I not only consider him as my investor advisor but also as a personal friend that has resulted from our long term relationship. I strongly endorse and recommend Berkshire to investors that want individualized services tailored to their investment objectives and rewarded with positive investment returns. Paul Neuhauser

Even from far away in the Berkshires, Scott and Alan have made these Michiganders feel well cared for and warmly welcomed by the Berkshire Money Management family. We are very satisfied with how they have helped our money grow over the years, and find ourselves more comfortable in our retirement than we ever dared hope. They have also folded our kids, with their far more modest wealth, into the family and are as meticulous with their care and advice as they have been with us. We greatly appreciate their social consciousness and all they do in their community to help others. We are beyond grateful.

Scott Little at Berkshire Money Management has been a wonderful financial advisor and guide. I never hesitate to reach out to him with questions and he is always very responsive, and willing to discuss pros, cons and options with me in any aspect of my financial life. I enjoy talking with Scott, and always feel like I come away from our conversations a little smarter. Having him on my "team" gives me great peace of mind.
5 Stars
I have been a client of BMM for 16 years. All of that time, Scott Little has been my primary contact, adviser and at times therapist. I can't say enough about Scott, his knowledge and his ability to relate financial goals with my personal family's needs. He is the only financial adviser/money manager that has ever talked me out of sending them additional money because he thought other options at that time were more viable to me than the current options in the market. Obviously, during that time, the market has experienced great returns and tough patches. My portfolio has fluctuated along with those trends. There is no money management company that can 100% insulate you from the downward trends, but there are few that work as hard as Scott and BMM to protect you from the extremes. They use every option/tool available to them to your advantage. They aren't too proud to reverse course on their investments if the climate calls for it. BMM offers far beyond the sound market advise and execution of my portfolio. When you are a client of theirs, you have access to an array of services at NO additional costs. BMM absorbs these costs for their clients. I have taken advantage of many of them, and as I age, I plan to use others as well. BMM paid for the Estate Planning Lawyer, who did an in-depth , well executed, Trust for my family. You learn very quickly during this process that a Will is simply a wish list, but the Trust is the playbook on the execution of the Will and so many more details beyond finances. If you haven't done a trust yet, and plan to pay on your own, these are typically $2K+. I also use their inhouse financial planners to take a snapshot of my total finances versus my long term needs and goals. This is an in-depth look under the covers, with a corrective action, if needed. As my income changes, my investments fluctuate, and my goals adjust, I can reach back to the financial planning team to recreate a current plan for me. If you are happy with your money management company, make sure they are doing more than picking stocks and funds for you. Make them work harder for you and your family, as BMM does for mine.

The list I made when I was looking for an advisor contained these priorities: Trust A firm that wouldn’t “assign” me to another manager An advisor who was interested in goals in addition to returns. Someone who could work with us in various stages of the market and of our lives. Scott checked every box. He took my calls when the market dropped by a couple of thousand points and explained what was happening in the market, and the adjustments he had made to keep my investments stable. When I was in the middle of a divorce and very anxious about having enough to live comfortably, he was always no more than 5 minutes away. When I was retiring to a state I had never lived in and really had no idea what my 5 – 20-year plan could be Scott was right there. He worked with my attorneys in the North and in North Carolina to facilitate the changes needed. I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, smart, and community-minded advisor.

I've been with Berkshire money mgt since 2003 I first was just a subscriber to Alan Harris's news monthly letter called "The Navigator". I followed his investment advice and realized he was very knowledgeable about a slow steady hand for investing. He sold that publication and reached out to many of his subscribers to join his firm to manage my original company 401 k. I have been able to allow my investment to grow for the last 20 years. I'm lucky to have his firm along with Scott Little to keep my assets growing with enough yearly distribution s to be retired comfortably. . I'm very greatfull to have the skilled help that Berkshire money mgt provides me for my present and future investment goals. Best regards John Crystal

Berkshire has offered excellent customer service to me for many years. Scott Little calls me quarterly to discuss and explain my accounts and what’s currently happening in the market. He has shown such friendship and care to me professionally and personally when I went through the death of my husband. He took such time to explain things that my husband took care of. Scott cares about his clients. He cares that money is invested carefully, and he watches out for his people! I feel secure that my investments are in the best hands with Berkshire and with Scott. Scott is also very quick to respond to any email or phone call. I would highly recommend this company for any investment needs!

My father had a complex medical condition, and over the decades Scott helped my parents build their wealth in such a way that allowed my father to remain at home with his disability and to have the best quality of life possible to the end. Scott has also been there for the whole family and his investment in us as clients goes far beyond the numbers.

Scott Little at Berkshire Money Management goes well above and beyond then just a financial consultant. He has guided me in the right direction and provided valuable information when it’s came time for me to buy a new car and whether or not to take early retirement. I feel he really cares about me and my well being and I consider him a friend of the family.

We have been supported but the team at Berkshire for...?...20 years or so. Frequent check-ins enable us to stay current with our financial needs and friendly chats give us a sense of what might be happening in the future that have the potential to affect the markets. We have the upmost confidence in Berkshire and are comforted to know they are looking out for our investments even while we may not be.

I am writing to strongly urge any reader who comes upon this review to consider putting your trust and investment resources to work with Berkshire Money Management. I have over 22 years of experience with them in good times and bad ( I think I am client #12) and have an annualized performance rate of 9% to show for that time. I am here because I prefer to make less in good markets while losing considerably less than others in bad markets, have the opportunity to work in a small and intimate environment with people who see clients as family, offer comprehensive financial planning services, trust and estate planning services and college planning at no cost but rather because its the necessary context for holistic investment management. I and my family and close friends have found a level of peace of mind that I doubt can be found at a Fidelity or Chase , etc. You probably will as well.

My wife and I have been with Berkshire Money Management for about twenty years and are very happy with their service, advice, and results. Scott Little is our advisor and I don’t think we could want for a better financial partner. Scott is always available for questions and reaches out to us at least quarterly to review the environment and our portfolio. Scott and Berkshire prepared us for retirement, a scary transition to contemplate, but one that has gone quite smoothly. I recommend Berkshire, and Scott, without hesitation.

I've been with BMM--and the newsletter by the founder, Allan Harris, before that--all beginning around 25 years ago. When the financial collapse of 2008 led to a huge drop in stock prices, my BMM portfolio's losses were half of that. Since then they have maintained my good status well and I'm now retired with enough money not to have to worry about it. They are good at being careful and not blindly following the crowd. Highly recommended.

We have been with Berkshire Money Management since 2003 and have never been disappointed. They have guided us through market highs and lows safely and has always been there when we needed them. Scott Little has been our personal representative and has demonstrated his knowledge and foresight in adjusting to different market conditions and keeps us advised at all times. We have valued our relationship with Berkshire Money Management for over 20 years with complete confidence regardless of what the market does, and we recommend them highly. Raymond & Janet Stockwell

My father started with Berkshire in the early 2000's but he didn't recommend them to me until 2009. He said anyone can do well when the market is doing well, but they did a great job when the market was down. Now my kids also have accounts with them and they've provide guidance for the grandkids 529 accounts.

To retirees like me and my wife, we cannot take too much risk with our retirement investments, and yet, we need to take a little risk to beat the inflation . We have been with Bershire Money Management since 2003,All the money we take out every year to meet our expenses (and to satisfy our annual IRA RMD) has been from our investment gains. In other words, we never have to dig into our capital no matter it is a good or bad year for the stock market. Not only that, the average annual gains exceeds the amount of money we take out every year. To retirees like us, we cannot ask for better and safe returns that Mr. Allen Harris and his colleagues of Bershire Money Management (BMM) are doing for us. We appreciate their investment skills and knowledge . My advisor and direct contact from BMM is Mr. Scott Little. We value his knowledge and honesty in educating his clients like us about stock market and the financial world. His training in investor's psychology really help to address his client's concerns and worries, especially in a down market. BMM has been managing our money for 20 years. Our confidence in their money management skill only increases with time.

We have developed a good relationship with the company and with our advisor, Scott Little. They take the time to have regular phone calls with us to answer our questions and give us their outlook on the market and our portfolio. Our portfolio has done well under their management and their fees seem to be in line with other companies. We are very pleased with their service and would highly recommend them.

My wife and I have been working with Scott Little at Berkshire for 20 years. Scott is extremely knowledgeable, proactive and responsive in meeting all of our financial planning needs. Berkshire has had great results in managing our portfolio over the years and Allen Harris (Bershire owner) sends regular updates about his views on the market and asset allocations. Overall, we highly recommend becoming a client of Scott and Berkshire. Scott has earned our trust over the years and we're sure you will be as satisfied as we are.
