Hello, Friends!
Hello, Friends!

I am so glad that you are here!


I am Kari Scott, a financial advisor with Thrivent. I have a strong financial background with roots beginning in personal banking and more than a decade of experience in the financial industry.

No matter where you are on your financial journey, I am committed to helping you reach your goals with clarity and confidence. I’ve dedicated my career to guiding real people through every stage of life with personalized, down-to-earth financial planning. My services include guidance in insurance, money management, investments, protection strategies, and making a meaningful generosity impact in your community. 


I became a financial advisor so I can be the person I wish I had during my own challenging seasons—someone who truly listens, cares, and helps turn uncertainty into confidence. I believe financial guidance should be accessible, compassionate, and rooted in purpose. For me, it’s not about wealth for institutions—it’s about helping individuals and families live lives rich in meaning, generosity, and peace of mind.

Thrivent gives me the opportunity to serve both my clients and my community in ways that matter!

About Me
Advisor Image

I’m a proud Durand local with deep Wisconsin agricultural roots. Growing up on a small dairy farm taught me the value of hard work, resilience, and the belief that what you put in is what you get out. When I’m not in the office, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends. One of my favorite places to be is on my family’s retired dairy farm where warm summer days and snowy winter afternoons are made even more special. We enjoy back road bike rides, Creekside snowshoeing and peaceful porch sitting - it's the simple moments that bring the most joy!


Community involvement is a big part of our lives—you’ll often find us at local events like Fun Fest (the parade holds special meaning for me as a former Miss Durand), the County Fair, and Blues on the Chippewa. We never pass up a good breakfast at one of the local cafés or a chance to visit with neighbors on a walk through town! Our kids are proud Panthers, and we love cheering on our local teams and seeing the strong spirit that defines our community.


Whether you’re just starting out, facing a transition, or planning for retirement, I’m here to walk alongside you with honest advice, thoughtful planning, and a heart committed to your success. If you’re comfortable, I’d be honored to help you plant the seeds for a strong financial future—and a life full of gratitude and giving.
