About Steve Alderete

My greatest passion is to work closely with people. Just like during my time in ministry, I love helping those around me identify where they are today, where they want to go, and how I can help them get there. Money touches every area of our lives, so I see my work with you as a calling – to help people improve their financial situations, families, and communities.  


As a kid, I had a paper route in my community to earn money. As I collected the money and it started to accumulate, I remember thinking, “What am I supposed to do with this?” I knew I should be doing something good with it, but I didn’t know exactly what that was. I think that same question continues into adulthood for many people. Maybe it is a bit more nuanced, “What is the best thing for me to do with this money to accomplish my goals?”


That is where I help – identifying the strategies that help you accomplish your goals. 

Life outside the office...

I've been married to my amazing wife, Jenny, for 30 years, and together we've raised two incredible grown children. For 25 years, I served as a worship leader—and I still jump at the chance to lead when the opportunity comes. My wife and I enjoy doing service projects for non-profits and I love providing financial education for our community and local churches.


Outside of work, you'll usually find me outdoors exploring all that Idaho has to offer—whether it's camping, hiking, playing a round of disc golf, or working on a new woodworking project.
