We’re not a call center. When you reach out, you reach us - the advisors who built your plan, know your goals, and are actively working on your behalf.
We’re a small firm by design. That means every client works directly with their advisor, not an associate, not an assistant.

A native of small-town Middle Tennessee, Darrin Wall now calls Chattanooga home, living in the Black Creek golf community with his wife Hannah and their two kids, Madelyn and Brooks. Outside the office, he enjoys playing golf with his daughter Madelyn and coaching his son Brooks’ baseball team.
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, Darrin believes successful wealth management begins with mutual trust and a deeply personal process. No two clients are alike — wealth management is shaped by each person’s life stage, goals, hopes, and risk tolerance. His primary objective is a comprehensive, cohesive strategy designed to help clients lead a more fulfilling life, taking into account market fluctuations, wealth diversification, and the unexpected events that can affect any financial plan.
For business owners, Darrin goes beyond personal planning to help grow the business or map out a future exit, working alongside your accountants and attorneys to achieve the best outcome. He is also passionate about working with multigenerational families — understanding that every generation is part of his clients’ legacy, and committed to guiding each one with the same care as if it were his own.

Every Scenic City client works directly with their advisor, not a junior associate or support staff. When you call, we pick up.
Every recommendation we make is driven by what’s right for your plan. No product agendas, no conflicts of interest. Just honest, transparent advice.
You receive written recommendations on exactly what you need to do - then a living online portal through Right Capital so your financial plan is accessible and up to date at any time.
We live here, work here, and our kids go to school here. We understand this community because we’re part of it.
We reach out when something changes, tax laws, market shifts, life events. You shouldn’t have to chase your advisor for answers.
Your financial plan is built around your specific goals, timeline, and values, not a generic model portfolio pulled off a shelf.
