Jac Scott Fitzpatrick
Operations & Marketing Specialist
Jacqueline “Jac” Scott Fitzpatrick joined Axiom in November 2025. Growing up Jac dreamed of being a pediatrician, but during her freshman year at Indiana University, she gravitated towards psychology courses with a special interest in how they intersected with the business world. As the daughter of Axiom’s Co-Founder, Vaughan Scott, Jac was obviously familiar with the world of financial planning. She even interned with Axiom in 2020 researching how to effectively facilitate difficult conversations.
Jac graduated with a BS in Organizational and Business Psychology and a minor in Business. Her leadership ability was recognized at IU, as she was named Panhellenic Chapter President of the Year in 2022 out of 22 sorority presidents. Upon graduation she joined Mercer as an Executive Compensation Consultant in Chicago, where she specialized in due diligence and compensation benchmarking. Most importantly, this experience taught her critical analytical and client-facing skills.
Today, Jac serves as Axiom’s Operations & Marketing Specialist. She oversees the firm’s marketing presence across social media, the website, and client newsletters, and designs client-facing presentations for complex accounts. Her time as a financial paraplanner gave her a ground-up understanding of the planning process that continues to inform her work.
On the operations side, Jac reduces the administrative load on our advisors by building and maintaining the processes that keep the firm running smoothly, so they can spend their time where it matters most: with clients. She also leads Axiom’s internship program from recruiting through completion. She believes her experience as a Talent Acquisition Intern at PetSmart’s corporate headquarters is valuable when it comes to building a program where the training interns receive has real-world value.
Outside of the office, Jac is an assistant coach for Providence High School’s girls soccer team and teaches workout classes at Ripple Effect Lagree. She and her husband, Shawn, live in New Albany, IN with their two precious goldendoodles.
The Other Side of Jac
What’s the Best Piece of Career Advice You Have Recieved?
“A great piece of advice I received at my first full-time job was “always say yes” — not in a way that overextends you, but in a way that pushes you. Saying yes to stretch assignments, new challenges, and opportunities outside your comfort zone is often where the most meaningful growth happens.”
What’s an Important Professional Goal You Have?
“I would like to earn the Accredited Behavioral Finance Professional (ABFP®) designation. With my background in psychology, I’m interested in better understanding how biases and emotions influence financial decisions. Strengthening this expertise will enable me to help clients better recognize their own behavioral patterns and make clearer, more confident decisions.”
What’s a Personal Accomplishment You Are Most Proud Of?
“One of my proudest accomplishments was racing in the Little 500 at Indiana University. As a rookie, I earned a spot on the race lineup over two veteran riders. We went on to place 8th out of 22 teams—the best finish for my sorority since 2001.”
What Are Three Words to Describe You?
“Passionate, Driven, Authentic.”
Fun Fact
“I’ve been a huge IU fan my whole life and named my dog “Hoosier” 12 years ago. When we moved back to New Albany, my husband and I decided he needed a companion. So, on my way home from the Rose Bowl in January 2026, I stopped in Dallas to pick one up. Our new addition is named Fernando—a tribute to the great QB and Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza!”
