I'm Alan Skillern. I'm from a tiny town in west central Indiana. My goal is to help people just like I help my family. I'm a CFP® professional and I picked up my MBA while I was at Ball State. I've worked in a few firms but I never sold a financial product or taken a commission. I don't have any desire to push products to people who are looking to secure their family's future. I have picked up a set of skills, including: a deep knowledge of estate planning, mindfulness around taxes, and the ability to build a killer financial plan. Best Case Financial is built around the idea of neighbors helping neighbors. I've seen too many cases of people being treated un-neighborly and I want to do my part to tip the scale in the other direction.
