About Aaron Sloan, MBA, CFP®, ChFC®

Hi, I'm Aaron Sloan, a financial planner based in Harrisonville, Missouri, serving individuals, families, and business owners across Cass County and the greater Kansas City area.

I'm a two-time graduate of Southwest Baptist University, where I double majored in Economics/Finance and International Business before earning my MBA in 2017, and I hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification and the Chartered Financial Consultant® designation. I was named Outstanding Business Administration Graduate in 2016, but my real education started much earlier, growing up in a small-town community bank my family has run for three generations.

After seeing firsthand how life's unexpected moments can shake a family's financial footing, I knew I wanted to help others find peace of mind through thoughtful, proactive planning. I found that at Strategic Financial, where we lead with education and comprehensive planning instead of pushing product.

Today I help clients with everything from retirement and tax strategies to risk management, business continuity, and succession planning for family-owned businesses. Whether you're preparing for the next chapter or protecting what you've already built, I'll meet you with clarity, empathy, and a plan built around your goals.

Beyond the office, I stay active in the community I serve, including a role with the Harrisonville Chamber of Commerce Foundation and a seat on Southwest Baptist University's alumni board. Off the clock, I'm a washed-up soccer and tennis player now working on my golf game, and Kansas City BBQ fuels the journey, especially during Chiefs and Sporting KC season.

I work with clients across Harrisonville, Bolivar, Springfield, and the Kansas City metro area, plus others scattered nationwide. You can reach me at my office at (417) 730-1497

What to expect in the first meeting

Your first meeting is a free 30-minute discovery call, and it's exactly what it sounds like: a conversation. There's nothing to buy and nothing you have to prepare. Come as you are, even if your finances feel disorganized or you're not sure where to begin. We'll use the time to get to know each other. You can ask questions, share what's on your mind, and tell me what you're hoping to accomplish. I'll listen, learn about your situation, and be upfront about how we work and what it costs, so you walk away with clarity whether or not we decide to move forward. If it helps, jot down a few questions or the goals that matter most to you ahead of time, but that's the only prep needed. If we're a good fit and you'd like to continue, I'll send a simple checklist to help you gather your financial documents for the next step. No pressure, no obligation, just a chance to see if we're right for each other.

About Strategic Financial

Strategic Financial was founded in 2009 on a simple belief: comprehensive financial planning should be accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy. We serve clients across Missouri, nationwide, and internationally with the kind of personalized attention major firms reserve for their top-tier clients, without the asset minimums or the corporate feel.

We are 100% independent, which means our advice answers to you and no one else. Our team brings more than 55 years of combined experience and has served clients in 21+ states and abroad.

Our approach rests on three things. We build relationships around you, starting with a free discovery call and a planning process designed to be thorough without being overwhelming. We lead with education, adapting to whether you want every detail or just the bottom line. And we hold to transparency and integrity: we are upfront about costs, clear about conflicts of interest and structured to minimize them, and honest when we do not have the answer.

Whether you are investing your first dollar or preserving a complex estate, we meet you where you are with no judgment and no pressure, just a plan built around your goals.

FAQs

How much does financial planning cost with Strategic Financial and Aaron Sloan?
Comprehensive financial planning is a flat $2,000. That covers five one-hour meetings plus roughly 20 hours of behind-the-scenes work building your plan. Ongoing investment management is a separate tiered fee starting at 1.25% of assets, and a limited number of pro-bono spots open each year when fees are a barrier. You will know the cost before you commit. View our full fee structure
Do I need a certain amount of money to work with you?
No. We welcome all account sizes, from your first investment to a complex estate. We choose clients based on who they are and the relationship we can build, not a portfolio minimum. If you value education, transparency, and a plan built around your life, we would be glad to talk. Explore our personal planning services
What does comprehensive financial planning actually include?
It goes well beyond picking investments. We look at cash flow and debt, retirement savings, tax reduction, insurance and risk, education funding, and estate and legacy goals, then build one coordinated plan. You get clear guidance you can act on, whether you want every detail or just the big picture. See what comprehensive planning covers
Do you work with small business and family-owned business owners?
Yes, that is our sweet spot. We help owners structure retirement plans, coordinate personal and business finances, and plan for the day you step away. Aaron is a third-generation family-business owner himself and serves on local boards, so this work is personal, not theoretical. Explore our business services
I'm just starting my career. Is it too early to get help?
Not at all. Early is an advantage. We help new earners balance a first real income with student loans, big purchases, and building good habits. We will set up emergency savings, review your employee benefits, and start retirement contributions so time is working for you instead of against you. See how we help you get started
We hope to retire in the next 5 to 10 years. Are we on track?
That window is when good planning matters most. In your highest-earning years we coordinate savings, taxes, and investment strategy, and give you a clear checklist for the runway into retirement. You will know where you stand and what to adjust while there is still plenty of time to act. Explore retirement planning
Do you work with clients outside of Missouri?
Yes. Our offices are in Harrisonville and Springfield, but we meet clients nationwide by video and phone. Whether you are across Cass County or across the country, you get the same comprehensive planning and personal attention. In-person, virtual, or a mix is entirely your call. Schedule a free consultation
What are Aaron's credentials and experience?
Aaron Sloan is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, holds a Chartered Financial Consultant® designation, and also earned his MBA from Southwest Baptist University. He has worked in financial services since 2016 with a clean regulatory record, and grew up in a third-generation family banking business.
